DJI Mini 5 Pro Drone Brand New

Description

The DJI Mini 5 Pro is DJI’s latest flagship in the ultra-portable Mini series, released on September 17, 2025, revolutionizing sub-250g drones with professional-grade imaging and advanced safety features. Weighing just 249.9g (±4g tolerance, keeping most units under the 250g FAA registration threshold for recreational use), it squeezes a massive 1-inch CMOS sensor—the first in a mini drone—into a foldable, pocket-sized frame, delivering stunning low-light performance, 4K/120fps slow-motion video, and omnidirectional obstacle avoidance with forward-facing LiDAR for safe night flights. Ideal for creators, travelers, and beginners, it supports true vertical shooting via a 225° roll gimbal, ActiveTrack 360°, and up to 52 minutes of flight time with the optional Plus battery. Despite its compact size (similar to the Mini 4 Pro), it rivals larger models like the Air 3S in capability, with O4 transmission for 20km range and Wi-Fi 6 QuickTransfer at 100 MB/s. Priced starting at around $819 for the base kit and $1,159 for the Fly More Combo (RC 2) in euros (US pricing via third-party resellers due to DJI’s temporary US store absence amid trade tensions), it’s a game-changer for registration-free aerial content. Requires the DJI Fly app (iOS/Android) for setup, updates, and editing—download from DJI’s site if app store access is limited.
This drone excels in diverse scenarios, from urban nightscapes to hiking trails, with redesigned propellers (Model 6028F) for quieter operation and enhanced wind resistance. Note: While sub-250g, commercial use may still require registration; always check local regs. The Plus battery pushes weight over 250g, voiding some exemptions.
Key Features
• Pro-Grade Portability: Folds to 148×94×64 mm; quick propeller attachment for fast deployment; Bluetooth 5.4 for remote app wake-up.

Camera and Imaging Capabilities
The Mini 5 Pro’s groundbreaking 1-inch CMOS sensor (50MP) with f/1.8 aperture and 24mm equivalent focal length (84° FOV) captures cinema-quality footage with superior dynamic range (up to 14 stops) and low-noise performance:
• Video Recording:
◦ 4K/60fps HDR (full sensor readout for sharp details).
◦ 4K/120fps slow-motion (cropped mode for action).
◦ 2.7K/60fps vertical (9:16 native via gimbal rotation).
◦ Bitrate up to 150 Mbps; H.264/H.265; 10-bit color profiles.
• Photo Capture: 50MP stills (12.5MP binned for low light; JPEG/DNG); burst mode up to 20fps.
• Stabilization: 3-axis mechanical gimbal + RockSteady 3.0 EIS + HorizonBalancing for ultra-smooth, level shots.
• Night Mode: Auto-activation for low-light; enhanced ISO up to 25,600.
Performance Specifications
• Flight Time: 36 minutes (Standard battery, windless, sea level); 52 minutes (Plus battery, exceeds 250g).
• Max Speed: 16 m/s (35 mph) Sport mode; 6 m/s Normal.
• Max Acceleration: 3 m/s².
• Max Altitude: 4,000 m above sea level.
• Wind Resistance: Level 6 (12 m/s).
• Operating Temperature: -10°C to 40°C.
• Battery: Li-ion 2S, 2,453 mAh (Standard); 3,850 mAh (Plus); 65W fast charge (~50 min full).
• Dimensions: Folded: 148×94×64 mm; Unfolded: 289×255×64 mm (with props).
• Weight: 249.9 g (±4 g, including Standard battery/props/microSD).
• Sensors: LiDAR + 6 vision (omnidirectional); ToF for precise hovering; GNSS (GPS/Galileo/BeiDou).
What’s Included in the Base Kit
The standard DJI Mini 5 Pro (with RC-N3) kit offers immediate portability:
• DJI Mini 5 Pro Aircraft (with 1-inch camera, gimbal, LiDAR).
• Intelligent Flight Battery (1x Standard).
• DJI RC-N3 Remote Controller (with phone mount; 3-hour runtime).
• Spare Propellers (Pair, Model 6028F).
• USB-C Cables.
• Gimbal Protector & Carrying Bag (upgraded sturdy case).
Fly More Combo Options
• Fly More Combo (RC-N3) (~$999 est.): Adds 2 extra Standard batteries (~108 min total flight), Three-Battery Charging Hub, ND filters set, 2 spare prop pairs, and larger shoulder bag.
• Fly More Combo (RC 2) (~$1,159): Upgrades to RC 2 (built-in screen), plus the above extras; includes Plus battery option for extended flights.
Pros and Considerations
• Pros: World-first 1-inch sensor in a mini drone for pro low-light results; full omnidirectional night avoidance; longest Mini-series battery life; seamless vertical shooting; quiet, efficient design.
• Cons: Weight variance may tip some units over 250g; no official US sales (import via resellers like Amazon, potential warranty issues); Plus battery loses sub-250g benefits; app-dependent for full features.
• Compatibility: DJI Fly app (v1.15.0+); supports DJI Care Refresh. Firmware updates (initial v01.00.0100) optimize LiDAR and tracking.
