How much wind can the DJI Flip handle? DroneChecker marks it Do Not Fly above 38.52 km/h (24 mph, 10.7 m/s) in sustained wind or gusts, with a Caution line from 29 km/h (18 mph) sustained or 32 km/h (20 mph) in gusts.
Released in January 2025, the Flip pairs full propeller guards with a folding sub-250g airframe, aimed at flying close to people without the bulk of a separate cage.

Manufacturers publish one figure: the maximum wind speed a drone is rated to resist. The Do Not Fly line above is based on that figure for the DJI Flip. The Caution line is DroneChecker's own margin below it, because a drone flown right at its limit has nothing left in reserve.
Two speeds are checked separately. Sustained wind is the steady average; gusts are the short peaks above it, and they are what tends to push a small drone around. A day with a calm average but strong gusts can be harder to fly in than a steady breeze.
Those propeller guards add surface area for wind to push against, which is easy to forget when the headline weight is so low. Treat its rating as a genuine ceiling rather than a starting point, particularly in the enclosed spaces the guards are designed for.
