Quick answer
Choose the DJI Lito X1 Fly More Combo Plus with the DJI RC 2 if you want a built-in screen and extra batteries for longer shoots without using your phone. Choose the standard Fly More Combo with the DJI RC-N3 if you prefer to fly with your phone and want the lowest-cost way into the Lito X1 system.
Controller choice: built-in screen vs phone-based flying
The biggest difference between these two combos is the controller. The Combo Plus includes the DJI RC 2, which has a built-in screen. That means you can fly, frame, and review footage without connecting a phone. The standard combo uses the DJI RC-N3, which requires you to pair your phone to view the live feed and control the drone.
If you already carry a phone with a bright screen and don't mind using it for every flight, the RC-N3 keeps things simple and saves money. But if you want fewer steps at the field and a dedicated display that won't be interrupted by notifications, the RC 2 is the more self-contained option.
Battery count and total flight time
Both combos are Fly More kits, so they include spare batteries, propellers, and a charging case. The Combo Plus, however, adds extra batteries on top of the standard Fly More kit. That extends your total flight time across a shoot, which matters if you're filming a full day or travelling to a location where recharging isn't easy.
The standard combo still gives you the essentials for a typical outing, but you'll likely need to plan charging breaks or carry a power bank if you want to fly for longer sessions.
Weight and beginner-friendliness
Both versions of the Lito X1 are sub-249 g camera drones, which puts them in a lightweight class that many beginners prefer. They are aimed at pilots stepping up from the entry tier, so you get a capable camera drone without a steep learning curve. Neither combo includes obstacles avoidance or other advanced autonomy features in the supplied facts, so you should not expect those capabilities here.
Trade-offs to weigh
- Controller convenience vs cost: The RC 2 gives you a dedicated screen and no phone dependency, but the Combo Plus costs more. The RC-N3 saves money but requires your phone for every flight. Decide if a built-in screen is worth the price difference for how often you fly.
- Flight time vs portability: The Combo Plus includes extra batteries for longer shoots, which adds weight and bulk to your kit. The standard combo is lighter to carry but may require charging breaks. Consider how long your typical shoots last and whether you can recharge on location.
- Beginner focus vs future-proofing: Both are sub-249 g beginner-friendly drones, but the Combo Plus gives you more headroom for longer sessions and a more self-contained controller. The standard combo is a lower-cost entry point. If you plan to grow your skills and fly often, the Combo Plus may save you from upgrading later.
