DJI Mini 5 Pro
#2 in Mini & Nano Drones · Rated 4.5
Mini drone with a 1-inch sensor and LiDAR for pro-like imaging
The Mini 5 Pro represents DJI’s premium sub-250 g offering, introducing a 1-inch, 50 MP sensor and a 225° rotating gimbal, enabling true vertical shooting with high dynamic range. It also includes forward-facing LiDAR for enhanced obstacle sensing, expanding safety in complex environments. While designed to stay under 250 g to simplify regulatory compliance, the Mini 5 Pro pushes imaging boundaries with improved low-light performance and a longer, more flexible shooting toolkit, making it attractive for enthusiasts seeking near-Mavic-class quality in a portable form. Availability was announced globally in 2025, with Canada/Europe markets receiving near-official retail paths; the U.S. market has seen limited or indirect access through third-party channels.
