In 2023, DJI created a monolithic hit pinch the Osmo Pocket 3, a mini steadicam pinch a acold bigger one-inch-type sensor that dramatically improved the value of video you could get pinch truthful mini a gadget. Today, the institution whitethorn beryllium doing the aforesaid pinch its astir celebrated portable statement of drones — and pinch amended artillery life than ever.
The DJI Mini 5 Pro is the company’s first compact drone pinch a 50-megapixel one-inch-type sensor, up from 1/1.3-inch successful the Mini 4 Pro. At 15.19 x 11.11mm, it offers much than doubly the sensor area, which could mean capturing much light; DJI claims 14 stops of move range.

DJI tells america it could present moreover somewhat amended results than the 1 successful the bigger and pricier DJI Air 3S from 2024, pinch “enhanced image performance” astatine adjacent range, “improved brightness successful protector areas,” and that it won’t oversharpen vegetation for illustration the Air 3S sometimes could. Plus, DJI is quoting 2 other minutes of artillery life from the Mini 5 Pro complete the Mini 4 Pro without expanding weight beyond the all-important 250-gram mark, astatine 36 minutes vs. 34.
Or, if you opt for the company’s extended battery, DJI claims you tin deed 52 minutes astatine a go, beating the aged Mini 3 for the longest artillery life ever successful a non-industrial DJI drone. DJI won’t waste that extended artillery successful Europe, though, to thief comply pinch laws astir heavier drones.

Otherwise, the DJI Mini 5 Pro, like the Mini 4 Pro earlier it, is mostly a communicative of catching up to the precocious barroom group by DJI’s Air line. The Mini already had omnidirectional obstacle avoidance; now it gets the Air’s upgraded low-light type pinch forward-facing LiDAR truthful it tin much easy return location astatine night, and tin “memorize formation routes, enabling safe takeoff and return moreover without a outer signal.”
The Mini 5 Pro tin now climb doubly arsenic accelerated astatine 10 meters per 2nd (22mph), conscionable for illustration the Air, and flies somewhat faster horizontally (42mph vs. 36mph) than the Mini 4 Pro too. You besides get faster 4K120 shooting for illustration the Air, positive the aforesaid expanded ISO scope of 12800 successful normal shooting and 3200 successful HDR and D-Log M.
And for illustration the Air, you tin shop 42GB of video connected the drone itself, whereas erstwhile minis required an SD paper for much than a mini 2GB clip. And though DJI’s wireless transmission scope hasn’t really improved, it now offers Wi-Fi 6 for up to 100MB/s downloads.

It’s moreover trying to ape the Air’s secondary telephoto camera pinch a caller “48mm Med-Tele mode”; while that integer zoom apt won’t comparison to the Air’s 70mm optical, we were mildly impressed pinch the 40mm lossless 2x integer zoom connected the Osmo Pocket 3 and sometimes genuinely usage it.
The Mini 5 Pro does get a mates caller tricks from different drones too the Air. Like the Mavic 4 Pro, it now offers a gimbal that tin freely rotation for much than conscionable vertical filming, though present you get 225 degrees of rotation alternatively of 360. And like the DJI Flip, it tin automatically powerfulness connected erstwhile you unfold its arms, nary much press-and-release-and-hold necessary. It can’t execute DJI’s QuickShots filming maneuvers without a controller, though.
As pinch the Air 3S, the Mavic 4 Pro, and frankly, each DJI merchandise from present connected out, the mobility is: will you really beryllium capable to bargain one? In the United States, the reply isn’t great. Not only will DJI not officially waste this drone successful the US, it won’t moreover create a US merchandise website for it, and we were not offered a reappraisal portion — though you mightiness beryllium capable to find mini batches astatine different retailers like previously, if US customs doesn’t block those shipments.
If you do, DJI spokeperson Daisy Kong makes it sound for illustration the institution should still grant its warranty, though it depends connected “the merchandise issue, usage, acquisition details, and whether the merchandise is wrong the warranty play aliases not.”
In Canada, the DJI Mini 5 Pro will costs $769 USD, but Kong cautions that’s not the value it would needfully waste for successful the US. It’ll besides costs £689 successful the UK, €798 successful Europe, and ¥106,700 successful Japan, each of which correspond that DJI isn’t really raising the value this twelvemonth — truthful if the Mini 5 Pro costs acold much than that astatine US retailers for illustration Adorama and B&H, it’s apt the consequence of Trump’s tariffs.

As pinch galore erstwhile drones, the institution will vessel it successful bundles pinch further batteries, accessories, and screen-equipped controllers if you prefer. You can’t switch propellers aliases ND filters betwixt the Mini 5 Pro and Mini 4 Pro, and the caller batteries don’t activity connected the older drone. “Technically, the Mini 5 Pro tin usage batteries from erstwhile drones, but we do not urge it,” writes Kong.
