DJI has announced the latest drone in its popular mini lineup, Mini 5 Pro. The new offering first introduces the type 1 sensor in the sub -250G series, promises a pro -level imaging with a long battery life.
The mini 5 Pro is built around the 50-megapixel type 1 (116 mm)) sensor. It is 68% larger than its predecessor, Mini 4 Pro, with type 1/1.3 (69 mm) sensor. The DJI says that the drone is capable of capturing 14 stops of the dynamic range, making it better in high-opposite scenes such as sunset and sunrise.
DJI also gave a slight competition to battery life in Mini 5 Pro. It promises a 36 -minute flight time compared to 34 minutes from Mini 4 Pro. Users can also opt for the company’s extended battery for a 52 -minute flight, although it will put the drone on a 250G mark, requiring compliance with laws around heavy drones.

Many other improvements in the Mini 5 Pro bring the device closer to the company’s air line. This involves detection of low-light barrier with newly added forward-faceing lidar. DJI says it will make the return-to-hom mode safe, and it can also navigate the cityscape at night. DJI also states that in sufficient light, it can miss the flying routes for safe takeoff and return, even if the satellite does not have satellite signal.
The drone has a new “48 mm made-tile mode” and DJI says it provides a high digital zoom resolution compared to the previous model. The camera gimbal also makes more movement with a 225-degree roll rotation. It also keeps true vertical shoots found on Mini 4 Pro.
From a video point of view, the new drone is capable of 4K 60p HDR video and supports a slow recording of 4K 120p. This can record 10-bit videos using H.265 encoding with a maximum ISO of 12800 and provides D-Log M and HLG color mode with maximum ISO of 3200.

The Mini 5 Pro supports the long list of DJI’s pre-formatted quick shots, including rotates, drona, asteroid, various mastershots and free panorama. It also enables accelerated transfer through Wi-Fi, promises transfer speed up to 100 MB/s, which is largely above 30 MB/S. of the mini4 Pro promise. It also offers 42GB onboard storage, which is another notable growth from its predecessor 2GB.

Press release:
DJI brings the world to the first sky with Mini 5 Pro
1-Inch big CMOS sensor, nitscape universal sensation, true vertical shoots and 225 ° flexible gimbal rotation alliances for all-in-in-one mini camera drone
September 17, 2025 – DJI, a global leader in civil drones and creative camera technology, today introduces DJI Mini 5 Pro. World’s first feature¹ 1-inch sensor in a mini camera drone, a wise flight battery that provides 36 minutes of flight time 1 and upgraded activate 360 °, palm-shaped, light drones, giving everyone a chance to catch beautiful moments of life and preserve valuable memories in stunning expansion.
Pro-level imaging in a compact body
The Mini 5 Pro makes a 50mp 1-inch big sensor debut, which also preserves minutes of details such as sunset and nitscape; And a new 48mm med-tila mode with high digital zoom resolution compared to the previous model, to erect the subjects with more texture and add depth. In addition, DJI’s portrait optimization technique enhances the brightness, contrast and skin tone of the portrait to make them to look naturally bright with more vivid manifestations.
Cinematic settings as standard
4K/60fps up to 14 stops of Dynamic Range with HDR Video¹ Cinematic footage in high-opposite scenes is attainable to capture, such as cloud texture and detailed views of other elements during sunrise and sunset.
The mini 5 Pro for those wishing to slow down things with even more creative flexibility in post-production supports slow speed video recording at mini 5 Pro 4K/120fps.
When it comes to color mode, the mini 5 Pro can record 10-bit videos using H.265 encoding, providing sophisticated color performance, maximum ISO is lifted up to 12800. In D-Log M and HLG color mode, the maximum ISO is increased to 3200, which allows more brightness and more details in urban night scenes.
Camera movement with more possibilities
The Mini 5 Pro Wide-Angle supports 225 ° roll rotation and true vertical shooting, leading to greater freedom and possibilities in the camera movement.
With 225 ° roll rotation, the gimbal enables flexible and dynamic camera movement. Capturing creative rotating footage, combined with intelligent modes such as Quickshot rotates, timleps, spotlight and vapoint flight is much easier than ever.
Shoot scenes of skyscrapers, waterfalls and vibrant city immediately with true vertical shoots of the camera. No crop is required with every photo and video ready for social media.
Flight of confidence even in low light
The Mini 5 Pro has several vision sensors for a forward-faced lidar and nitscape that makes omnidrayal barrier sensing, returns-to-homes safe. On the nights of the city, it actively detects and avoids obstacles with flight and escapes from return paths to fly anxious night. With adequate light, it can miss the flight routes, enable safe takeoff and return without a satellite signal¹,
The omnipresent vision sensing system: with front-front lidar, fishing lenses on the front and back; Binocular lens and a 3D infrared sensor at the lower level is obtained for safe flights¹,
Nitscape universal barrier sensation¹: Provides strong protection for night photography, allowing the user to create with confidence and efficiency¹,
Knighttime RTH: With forward-faceing lidar, the mini 5 Pro detects obstacles like long buildings and wisely exercises, ensures safe returns during night flights, even in low-lighting conditions.¹,
Non-NGNSS RTH: Remembering flight paths when the mini 5 profitable is available by real-time vision positioning and map construction technologies. This ensures a safe return when satellite takes away from signs, such as balconies’ places.
Dual-Band GNSS: L1 + L5 with dual-band GNSS, the mini5 Pro connects more satellites for better signal stability and accurate positions.
Advanced Activetrack 360 °
Advanced Activetrack 360 ° provides adaptable tracking for various scenarios, and facilitates more stable and safe tracking compared to previous models. Whether it is a walk on the beach or a weaving road ride on the road, the mini 5 pro game detects the scenarios and will choose the right mode for optimal framing and tracking. Tracking performance has been extended to balance speed, agility and safety.
Capture and transfer like a supporter
The Mini 5 Pro provides intelligent features of DJI that enables users to achieve professional level results with every flight.
Mastshots: Portrait, close-up and long distance shooting require a high-level camera movement template.
Quickshots: Quickshot supports various modes such as rotates, drronis, circles, helix, rocket, boomerang and asteroid, allowing users to easily shoot stylish short films.
Free Panorama: Aable users manually to create spontaneous panoramic shots by sewing several images with selected subject or field.
Off-State QuickTurst: The Mini 5 Pro supports remote wake-up through the DJI fly app within the Bluetooth range. Without taking out the drone or remote controller, the files can be transferred to 100 MB/s via Wi-Fi 61. Even when switching to other apps, the DJI fly apps continues to download in the background.
Extended flight time
The DJI Intelligent flight battery plus flight with flight time increases the flight time of 36 minutes to 52 minutes of the standard intelligent flight battery.
1 – Always inspect local laws and regulations and ensure that the aircraft has obtained relevant certificates and airplane authority before flying.
