Quick Answer: DJI sells the Flip in three kits: $439 with the basic RC-N3 controller (one battery), $639 with the nicer RC 2 screen controller (still one battery), and $779 as the Fly More Combo — RC 2 plus three batteries, a charging hub, a shoulder bag, and spare propellers. The catch: DJI only bundles the combo accessories with the pricier RC 2 controller, per store.dji.com’s own listings — there’s no combo tier for buyers who’d rather stick with the cheaper RC-N3. Amazon has discounted all three kits ahead of a 25% drone tariff, to about $349 / $509 / $619.
The DJI Flip is one of the easiest drones on this site to recommend — until you try to figure out which of its three kits to actually buy. Unlike the DJI Neo 2, where the trap is a combo tier that quietly ships with no controller at all, the Flip’s kits are honestly labeled. The real gotcha here is structural: if you want more than one battery, DJI forces you to also pay for the upgraded RC 2 controller. This guide breaks down what’s actually in each box and whether the jump to the full combo pays for itself.
The three DJI Flip kits, side by side
| Kit | Controller | Batteries | Charging hub | List price | Amazon (Sept 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DJI Flip | RC-N3 (phone-clip) | 1 | No | $439 | about $349 |
| DJI Flip (RC 2) | RC 2 (built-in screen) | 1 | No | $639 | about $509 |
| Fly More Combo | RC 2 (built-in screen) | 3 | Yes | $779 | about $619 |
Prices and contents per store.dji.com’s individual product listings; Amazon pricing per DroneXL’s tariff-deadline coverage, current as of this guide.
Notice what’s missing: there’s no “Fly More Combo” available with the base RC-N3 controller. If a single battery is genuinely enough for you but you still want a charging hub and spares on hand, DJI doesn’t sell that combination — you either stay at one battery with RC-N3, or upgrade to RC 2 to unlock the extra batteries at all.
DJI Flip Fly More Combo (RC 2)
- Adds two extra Intelligent Flight Batteries and a Parallel Charging Hub over the single-battery RC 2 kit — three batteries instead of one.
- Bundles a DJI Flip Shoulder Bag and two additional pairs of spare propellers, on top of the pair the base kit already includes.
- Only comes with the RC 2 controller — there's no way to buy this battery-and-hub loadout with the cheaper RC-N3.

What’s actually in each box
DJI Flip (RC-N3) — $439 list / about $349 Amazon: the aircraft, the RC-N3 stick controller, one Intelligent Flight Battery, a spare propeller pair with screws, a Type-C to Type-C PD cable, RC cables (USB-C and Lightning), a gimbal protector, and a screwdriver. No charging hub — the single battery charges through the aircraft itself.
DJI Flip (RC 2) — $639 list / about $509 Amazon: identical contents to the RC-N3 kit, but the controller is swapped for RC 2, which has its own built-in 1080p high-bright touchscreen instead of clipping in your phone. Still just one battery, and still no charging hub.
Fly More Combo — $779 list / about $619 Amazon: the RC 2 kit’s contents, plus two additional Intelligent Flight Batteries (three total), the Parallel Charging Hub, a DJI Flip Shoulder Bag, and two extra pairs of spare propellers (three pairs total).

The buy-separately math
Using DJI’s own standalone accessory prices via store.dji.com:
| Item | List price |
|---|---|
| Intelligent Flight Battery × 2 | $198 ($99 each) |
| Parallel Charging Hub | $49 |
| Total if bought separately | about $247 |
| Fly More Combo premium over the single-battery RC 2 kit | $140 |
That’s roughly $107 in savings at list price — before even counting the bundled shoulder bag and two extra propeller pairs. On Amazon’s current tariff-driven pricing, the combo’s $110 premium over the single-battery RC 2 kit ($619 vs $509) is an even sharper deal against that same $247 of standalone accessory value.
Why the RC-N3-only buyer gets stuck
DJI’s Neo 2 has the opposite naming problem — a “Fly More Combo” tier that ships with no controller at all, despite the name suggesting otherwise (see our DJI Neo 2 Fly More Combo guide). The Flip’s kits are honestly labeled: nobody buying the $779 Fly More Combo is surprised by what’s in the box. The real friction is structural, not a naming trick — DJI simply never built a combo SKU around the cheaper RC-N3 controller. A buyer who’s perfectly happy flying with their phone clipped into RC-N3, but still wants a spare battery or two for a longer outing, has no combo option. The only path to extra batteries is paying the extra $200 (list) for the RC 2 screen controller too, whether you wanted it or not.
Who should buy which kit
- Buy the base RC-N3 kit ($439 / about $349 Amazon) if you’re testing the waters with short, occasional flights and don’t mind flying with your phone attached.
- Buy the RC 2 kit ($639 / about $509 Amazon) only if the built-in screen matters to you but one battery per outing is genuinely enough.
- Buy the Fly More Combo ($779 / about $619 Amazon) if you fly regularly — the battery and hub value alone beats the premium, and you get the RC 2 screen and a bag along with it.
By the numbers
- $140 vs about $247: the Fly More Combo’s list-price premium over the single-battery RC 2 kit, against the standalone DJI-store value of the two extra batteries ($99 each) and charging hub ($49) it includes.
- $200: the list-price gap between the RC-N3 kit and the RC 2 kit for the identical single-battery, no-hub loadout — the pure cost of the built-in-screen controller upgrade.
- 25%: the US drone import tariff that took effect September 3, 2026, which DroneXL reported as the trigger for Amazon’s pre-emptive markdowns on all three DJI Flip kits.
- 0: the number of Fly More Combo tiers DJI sells with the RC-N3 controller — confirmed via store.dji.com’s own product listings.
The bottom line
For anyone flying more than the occasional short session, the DJI Flip Fly More Combo at about $619 is the sharpest value in the lineup — its extra batteries and charging hub are worth more than the premium over the single-battery RC 2 kit, even before the free bag and spare propellers. Just don’t go in expecting a version with the cheaper RC-N3 controller; DJI doesn’t sell one.
