Drones
A drone gives an aerial view for photography, video, and exploration, controlled remotely or flown autonomously with a pre-set flight plan. Before your first flight, read our guide to CAAP drone rules in the Philippines.
What to check before you buy
- Weight and registration: CAAP requires registration for drones used commercially at any weight, and for non-commercial drones of 7 kg and above. Light drones under 249 g are also easier to travel with, since many countries use 250 g as a cut-off.
- Camera resolution and stabilization: Higher resolution matters for serious photo and video work; built-in stabilization keeps footage smooth in wind.
- Flight time: Battery life varies significantly by model, factor in charging downtime if you're planning an extended shoot.
Drones we carry
Our camera drones are from DJI: the palm-sized Neo 2, the foldable Flip with full propeller guards, and the beginner-focused Lito X1 with omnidirectional obstacle sensing. Stock of the Neo, Mini 3, Mini 4K and Mini 4 Pro varies, so check each product page. We also stock spare batteries for DJI Mavic and Phantom 4 drones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to register my drone with CAAP?
CAAP says drones used for commercial work must be registered at any weight, and non-commercial drones of 7 kg and above must be registered too. Check CAAP's current rules before your first flight.
How much is a drone in the Philippines?
At VMI Direct, the DJI Neo 2 starts at ₱14,990, the DJI Flip at ₱22,890 and the DJI Lito X1 at ₱25,979. Fly More Combos with extra batteries cost more.
What is the best drone for beginners?
The DJI Flip has full propeller guards and stays under 249 g, and the Lito X1 adds omnidirectional obstacle sensing. For hands-free selfie video, the palm-launched DJI Neo 2 is the simplest.
How high can I fly a drone in the Philippines?
Published summaries of CAAP's rules give 400 ft above ground as the limit for hobby flying, with the drone kept in direct line of sight, in daylight and well away from airports and crowds.

Yes. The DJI Neo 2 follows you with subject tracking and gesture control, and the Flip and Lito X1 have smart video modes. Our follow-me guide compares the DJI tracking modes.
How long does a drone battery last?
Per DJI's specs, the Neo 2 flies about 19 minutes, the Flip up to 31 minutes and the Lito X1 up to 36 minutes. Real flight time drops in wind and heat, so land with charge to spare.
