Based on a review by Kuba Klawiter (accessed 2026-04-23).
Based on this review alone: buy it if you care about excellent stability in high winds (up to 60-65 km/h) — just accept lito 1's image quality is grainy and lacks detail, especially at zoom, compared to the lito x1.
The reviewer concludes that the DJI Lito series, while not revolutionary, offers "quite decent drones for beginners," especially for capturing classic aerial footage of landscapes or landmarks. He recommends the Lito X1 for its better image quality on zooms and the controller with a built-in screen for a more professional experience, stating it's "worth it" despite the higher cost.
This review compares the DJI Lito 1 and Lito X1 drones, focusing on their suitability for beginners. The reviewer tests their stability in windy conditions, evaluates camera performance, including tracking, obstacle avoidance, and zoom capabilities, and compares their features and pricing.
The DJI Lito series offers a very competent entry point into drone flying for beginners, providing excellent stability and useful automated features despite their small size. Both models demonstrated impressive stability against winds up to 60 km/h, a crucial feature for lightweight drones under 250g. The Lito X1 also features Lidar for better obstacle avoidance and built-in memory for longer 4K recording, while the Lito 1 struggles with image quality, especially at zoom. If you are new to drones and want a reliable, easy-to-use device for capturing scenic shots, either Lito model is a strong contender. However, if you prioritize professional-grade image clarity or specialized features like acrobatic flight, you should seek other options.

The reviewer tests the drone's ability to withstand strong winds, stating it handles speeds up to 60 km/h, albeit struggling slightly at the highest speed. He notes it's impressive for a drone under 250g.
specification_claimneutralt=01:33–01:40
The Lito X1 has Lidar, which means it should perform better in darkness for obstacle avoidance compared to the Lito 1.
reviewer_claimpositivet=01:40–01:42
Both the Lito X1 and Lito 1 are capable of dynamically tracking objects.
specification_claimneutralt=01:42–01:54
The Lito X1 has 1 hour and 20 minutes of built-in memory for 4K 30fps video, while the Lito 1 requires a microSD card, lacking internal storage.
hands_on_demopositivet=02:22–02:59
The reviewer demonstrates the Lito X1's tracking capabilities by having it follow a car, noting that the shots are "not bad at all" and it handles maintaining speed and circling the car well.
hands_on_demopositivet=03:09–03:17
The drone detected an obstacle and adjusted its path to avoid it, which the reviewer found "generally cool."
hands_on_demopositivet=03:17–04:30
The reviewer demonstrates the Lito X1's 3x digital zoom, finding it "looks cool" and makes distant objects appear close, almost like a commercial. The zoom functions smoothly.
comparisonnegativet=06:17–06:55
After comparing the Lito 1's zoom to the X1 on a larger screen, the reviewer states the Lito 1 has "much worse image" quality, appearing grainy, less detailed, and losing sharpness at times.
measurement_testpositivet=06:55–07:44
The Lito 1 successfully tracks a car at speeds up to 60 km/h, and even up to 65 km/h, impressing the reviewer.

The reviewer argues that the dedicated controller with a built-in screen (like with the X1 bundle) is a better solution than a smartphone, as its screen can be brighter than many phone screens in direct sunlight, and it avoids distractions from phone notifications and app compatibility issues.
hands_on_demoneutralt=08:30–08:58
The reviewer mentions MasterShots, an automatic filming feature where the drone performs several shots to create a coherent video. He briefly shows how it works.
visual_inspectionnegativet=09:11–10:07
The reviewer displays night footage from the drones, stating it "looks so-so" and appears "unhappy, black and white," concluding that "they are not masters of darkness."
reviewer_claimneutralt=10:32–11:15
The reviewer explicitly states that these drones are "not for acrobatics" and do not offer the feeling of sports flying, emphasizing they are more for classic aerial videography.
specification_claimneutralt=11:21–11:28
The reviewer mentions prices: 1550 (presumably PLN) for the drone alone and 1900 for the more expensive versions (likely the X1 combo).
Despite being very lightweight (under 250g), the Lito drones demonstrate good stability in wind, performing "quite well" in challenging conditions. The reviewer specifically tested them at speeds up to 60 km/h, noting they managed, though struggled a bit at the highest speed.
The Lito X1 features Lidar, which should improve its obstacle avoidance capabilities in low-light conditions compared to the Lito 1. Additionally, the Lito X1 comes with 1 hour and 20 minutes of built-in storage for 4K 30fps video, whereas the Lito 1 lacks internal memory and requires a microSD card. The Lito X1 also offers significantly better image quality when using digital zoom.
Daytime footage from both drones is considered "not bad at all." However, when it comes to zoom, the Lito X1's 3x digital zoom is smooth and produces good results, making distant objects appear close. The Lito 1's zoom, in contrast, results in much worse, grainy, less detailed, and sometimes blurry images, making it unsuitable for close-ups.
Both the Lito 1 and Lito X1 feature dynamic object tracking. The reviewer demonstrated this by having the drone follow a car, noting its ability to maintain speed and circle the subject. The Lito 1 successfully tracked a car up to 60-65 km/h, impressing the reviewer.
Night recordings from the Lito drones are unsatisfactory. The reviewer describes the footage as "so-so" and "unhappy, black and white," explicitly stating that these drones "are not masters of darkness."
The reviewer clearly states that these drones are "not for acrobatics" and won't provide a "sporty flying" experience. Their purpose is more for traditional aerial shots of landscapes or landmarks.
The reviewer advises beginners to purchase the Lito X1, especially in a bundle with the dedicated controller that has a built-in screen. He believes the X1 offers better features (like Lidar and built-in memory) and the dedicated controller provides a more convenient and less distracting flying experience, making it "worth it" for long-term use, even if it costs more.
85/100 source quality
Kuba Klawiter reviews the new DJI Lito 1 and Lito X1 drones, positioned as replacements for the Mini series (excluding Mini Pro) for beginners. He tests their stability in strong winds, where they performed "quite well." The review highlights key differences: the Lito X1 features Lidar for better obstacle avoidance in low light and built-in memory, while the Lito 1 requires a microSD card. Both drones offer dynamic object tracking and MasterShots for automated filming. While daytime footage is generally good, night performance is poor, and neither drone is suitable for acrobatics. The reviewer ultimately recommends the Lito X1 and its dedicated controller for a better user experience.
