The New Lito Series
On 23 April 2026 DJI launched two new drones in Europe: the Lito 1 (€339, Fly More Combo €479) and the Lito X1 (€419, Fly More Combo €579). Both stay under 250 grams and slot in between the budget Mini 4K and the flagship Mini 5 Pro — bringing features to the entry level that used to cost twice as much.
- Lito 1: 1/2-inch sensor, 4K/60fps video (4K/100fps slow motion), omnidirectional obstacle sensing, DJI O4 transmission, ActiveTrack 360, up to 36 minutes of flight time
- Lito X1: larger 1/1.3-inch sensor, f/1.7, 10-bit D-Log M with 14 stops of dynamic range, forward-facing LiDAR, waypoint flights, 42 GB internal storage
The Lito series is not sold in the United States following the FCC Covered List decision — this launch is aimed at Europe and other international markets.
The C0 Label: The Friendliest Corner of EU Drone Rules
Both Lito models carry the EU C0 class identification label (UK0 in the UK). Under EU Regulation 2019/947, C0 drones fly in the Open category, subcategory A1 — the least restricted set of rules available:
- No exam required. For C0 drones the A1/A3 online training is not mandatory — you only need to be familiar with the user manual. We still recommend the free training; it teaches you airspace rules that apply regardless of drone weight.
- Operator registration is required. The Lito has a camera, so you must register with your national aviation authority and attach your operator ID to the drone.
- Fly close to people, never over assemblies. Overflight of uninvolved individuals is tolerated when unavoidable, but crowds, concerts, and busy public spaces are strictly off-limits.
- 120 m maximum altitude above ground level, and always within visual line of sight.
- No Remote ID requirement. C0 drones are exempt from Direct Remote ID.
What "No Exam" Does Not Mean
A C0 label removes the certificate requirement — it does not remove airspace rules. Airports, heliports, nature reserves, city centers, and national parks all carry restrictions that vary significantly by country. A sub-250g drone flown inside a restricted zone is just as illegal as a 2 kg one.
Before every flight, check the geo-zones at your location. The PilotPocket airspace map covers 28 European countries with up-to-date zones, local restrictions, and a live weather Go/No-Go assessment.
Insurance: Check Your Country
Drone liability insurance is mandatory in several EU countries regardless of weight — including Germany and Austria. In others it is optional but strongly recommended: even a 249 g drone can cause real damage. See our drone insurance guide for country-by-country requirements.
