They have a top speed of around 27mph, that can be boosted to up to 40mph. Both feature sensors on the top and bottom to help them autonomously avoid obstacles around them in flight, but the X1 adds a forward-facing lidar sensor for more precision, particularly when flying in low light conditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The Lito X1\u2019s 48-megapixel 1\/2-inch sensor is larger than the 40-megapixel 1\/1.3-inch sensor in the Lito 1, and while both drones can capture 4K video at up to 100fps in slow-mo mode, the X1 adds the ability to capture footage in 10-bit D-LogM for more flexibility in post production afterwards. Further differentiating the more expensive Lito X1 is 42GB of built-in storage, while the Lito 1 is limited to microSD cards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Both models come with DJI\u2019s screenless RC-N3 controller that uses a smartphone as its display, but you can\u2019t&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":626348,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64,63,3978,213,44,1996,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-626347","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-drones","11":"tag-gadgets","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-tech","14":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=626347"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/626347\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/626348"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=626347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=626347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=626347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
