DJI launched the Lito series on April 23, 2026, and the premium Lito X1 model immediately stands out. Packing a forward-facing LiDAR sensor, a 1/1.3-inch camera with f/1.7 aperture, and 10-bit D-Log M color profiling into a sub-249g airframe, the Lito X1 delivers features that were previously exclusive to flagship models. For businesses and hobbyists in Jordan, this could be the most accessible entry point to quality aerial content.

Quick Summary & Direct Answer

The DJI Lito X1 launched on April 23, 2026 with a 1/1.3-inch sensor (f/1.7), forward-facing LiDAR obstacle sensing, 4K/100fps slow motion, 10-bit D-Log M color, 42GB internal storage, and up to 52 minutes of flight time with the extended battery. It weighs under 249g and is priced around $400–$500.

LiDAR Obstacle Sensing in a Sub-249g Frame

The Lito X1 is the first sub-249g DJI drone to feature forward-facing LiDAR obstacle sensing. Unlike traditional vision sensors, LiDAR works reliably in low-light and nighttime conditions, making it safer for filming at dawn or dusk. This is particularly valuable for capturing golden-hour footage at Petra or sunset timelapses over the Dead Sea.

4K/100fps and 10-bit D-Log M for Semi-Professional Work

With 4K video at 100 frames per second and 10-bit D-Log M recording, the Lito X1 offers significantly more dynamic range and color latitude than previous budget drones. This allows for professional-grade color grading in post-production, making it a viable tool for small production houses and real estate agencies.
