DJI on September 17th 2025 announced the latest Mini series drone, the DJI Mini 5 Pro. The DJI Mini 5 Pro is the world’s first mini camera drone equipped with a 1-inch sensor, an Intelligent Flight Battery that delivers up to 36 minutes of flight time, and advanced ActiveTrack 360° functionality. This lightweight, palm-sized drone empowers anyone to capture every memorable moment in vivid detail.
DJI Mini 5 Pro Features
Professional-level imaging in a compact body
The new DJI Mini 5 Pro is equipped with a 50-megapixel 1-inch sensor, faithfully capturing fine details even in dark environments such as sunsets and night scenes. The new 48mm medium telephoto mode achieves higher-resolution digital zoom than the previous model, enhancing the texture of the subject while adding depth to the image.
Additionally, DJI’s Portrait Optimization technology enhances brightness, contrast, and skin tones to capture portrait footage with more vibrant expressions and a natural glow.
Cinematic footage captured with standard settings
Capable of recording 4K/60fps HDR video with up to 14 stops of dynamic range, the Mini 5 Pro can capture cinematic footage even in high-contrast scenes, capturing the fine details of cloud texture and other elements at sunrise and sunset.
Additionally, for those who want more creative freedom in post-production, the Mini 5 Pro supports 4K/120fps slow-motion video recording. In color mode, it supports 10-bit video recording using H.265 encoding for refined color performance. The maximum ISO sensitivity has also been increased to 12800. In D-Log M and HLG color modes, the maximum ISO sensitivity has been increased to 3200, capturing brighter, more detailed cityscapes at night.
Camerawork with greater potential
The Mini 5 Pro supports flexible 225° roll axis rotation and portrait orientation, bringing greater freedom and possibilities to camerawork.
With 225° roll axis rotation, the gimbal allows for flexible and dynamic camerawork. Combined with intelligent modes such as QuickShot Rotation, Time Lapse, Spotlight, and Waypoint Flight, capturing creative rotational footage has never been easier.
Vertical shooting allows you to instantly capture skyscrapers, waterfalls, and vibrant cityscapes, and the footage you capture can be shared directly to social media without any trimming.
Safe to fly in low light conditions
Equipped with a forward-facing LiDAR and multiple vision sensors, the Mini 5 Pro supports omnidirectional obstacle detection for nighttime photography, enabling safer return-to-home (RTH) flights. During urban nighttime photography, the drone actively detects and avoids obstacles along its flight and return paths, providing peace of mind. In well-lit environments, the drone can memorize its flight path, enabling safe takeoff and return even without a satellite signal.
- Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing System: Equipped with a forward-facing LiDAR, fisheye lenses on the front and rear of the aircraft, and a dual-vision sensor and 3D infrared sensor on the bottom, it performs omnidirectional obstacle sensing for safer flight.
- Omnidirectional obstacle detection even when shooting night scenes: Provides high safety even when shooting at night, allowing you to shoot with confidence and efficiency.
- Night-time RTH: With forward-facing LiDAR, Mini 5 Pro can detect obstacles such as tall buildings even in low-light environments, and intelligently climb around them to ensure a safe return home during night flights.
- Non-GNSS RTH: With real-time vision positioning and map-building technology, Mini 5 Pro can memorize a flight path when there is sufficient light, ensuring a safe return even when taking off from a location without satellite signals, such as a balcony.
- Dual-Band GNSS: Supporting L1+L5 dual-band GNSS, Mini 5 Pro connects to more satellites for improved signal stability and positioning accuracy.
Improved ActiveTrack 360°
ActiveTrack 360° has been improved to provide customizable tracking modes for different scenarios, delivering more stable and safer tracking than its predecessor.
Whether you’re strolling along the beach or cycling along winding roads, Mini 5 Pro will automatically detect the scenario and select the appropriate mode for optimal framing and tracking, providing improved tracking performance and a balanced combination of speed, agility, and safety.
Professional-level capture and transfer
The Mini 5 Pro is equipped with DJI’s intelligent features to capture professional-quality footage every time you fly.
- Master Shot: Execute advanced camerawork according to your needs, such as portraits, close-ups, and long-distance shots.
- QuickShot: Supports various modes such as Rotation, Dronie, Circle, Helix, Rocket, Boomerang, and Asteroid, making it easy to shoot stylish short movies.
- Free Panorama: Create a seamless panorama by stitching together multiple images based on a subject or area manually selected by the user.
- Quick Transfer in Off State: Mini 5 Pro supports remote wake-up via the DJI Fly app within Bluetooth range. Transfer files at up to 100 MB/s over Wi-Fi 6 without removing the drone or remote controller. The DJI Fly app will continue downloading in the background even when you switch to another app.
Longer flight times
With a standard DJI Intelligent Flight Battery, you can fly for up to 36 minutes, while with an Intelligent Flight Battery Plus, flight time increases by 16 minutes to up to 52 minutes.
