Costa Rica Adventures with the @DJI Lito X1

Why It Matters

The Lito X1’s combination of lightweight design, advanced tracking and obstacle avoidance lowers the barrier for high-quality aerial filming, expanding consumer access to professional-looking footage for travel, content creation and small-business marketing. If reliable automated features perform as claimed, the drone could accelerate adoption among casual users and creators who need portable, easy-to-fly gear.

Summary

On a family trip to Costa Rica, the reviewer tested DJI’s new Lito X1 drone, praising its ease of use, all-direction obstacle avoidance, and ActiveTrack 360 that reliably followed subjects across bikes, beaches, waterfalls and through foliage. The compact, sub-249g drone delivered strong image quality—including 4K at 100 fps slow-motion and good low-light performance—while built-in QuickShots enabled cinematic footage without a dedicated pilot. The reviewer also noted DJI’s more affordable Lito 1 as an alternative, calling both models compelling depending on budget. Overall, the Lito X1 was highlighted as an entry-level device with pro-grade features suited for travel and family adventures.
