DJI has just introduced the DJI Mini 5 Pro. Featuring the world’s first1 1-inch sensor in a mini camera drone, an Intelligent Flight Battery providing up to 36 minutes of flight time1 and upgraded ActiveTrack 360°, the palm-sized lightweight drone gives everyone the chance to capture life’s beautiful moments and preserve treasured memories in stunning detail.
We knew it was coming and here it is. And there are some rather good specs I have to say …
Pro-level Imaging in a Compact Body
The Mini 5 Pro debuts a 50MP 1-inch large sensor, preserving even minute details in low-light conditions such as sunsets and nightscapes; and a new 48mm Med-Tele mode with higher digital zoom resolution than previous models, to make subjects stand out with greater texture, adding depth. Furthermore, DJI’s portrait optimisation technology enhances portraits’ brightness, contrast and skin tones to make them look naturally radiant with more vivid expressions.
Cinematic Settings as Standard
With 4K/60fps HDR video, up to 14 stops of dynamic range1 are achievable to capture cinematic footage in high-contrast scenes, such as detailed views of cloud textures and other elements during sunrise and sunset.
For those wanting to slow things down with even greater creative flexibility in post-production, the Mini 5 Pro supports slow-motion video recording at 4K/120fps. When it comes to colour modes, the Mini 5 Pro can record 10-bit video using H.265 encoding, delivering refined colour performance, with the maximum ISO raised to 12800. In D-Log M and HLG colour modes, the maximum ISO is raised to 3200, allowing for greater brightness and more details in urban night scenes.
Camera Movement with Greater Possibilities
Mini 5 Pro supports wide-angle 225° roll rotation and true vertical shooting, bringing greater freedom and possibilities to camera movement.
With 225° roll rotation, the gimbal enables flexible and dynamic camera movement. Paired with intelligent modes like QuickShot Rotate, Timelapse, Spotlight, and Waypoint Flight, capturing creative rotating footage is easier than ever before.
Instantly shoot skyscrapers, waterfalls and vibrant city scenes with the camera’s True Vertical Shooting. No cropping is needed, so every photo and video is ready for social media.
Confident Flight Even in Low Light
Mini 5 Pro features a forward-facing LiDAR and multiple vision sensors for nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensing, making return-to-home safer. In city nightscapes, it actively detects and avoids obstacles along flight and return paths for worry-free night flying. With sufficient light, it can memorise flight routes, enabling safe takeoff and return even without a satellite signal1.
Omnidirectional Vision Sensing System: With forward-facing LiDAR, fisheye lenses on the front and rear; binocular lenses and a 3D infrared sensor on the bottom omnidirectional obstacle sensing is achieved for safer flights1.
Nightscape Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing1: Provides robust safety for night photography, allowing the user to create with confidence and efficiency1.
Nighttime RTH: With the forward-facing LiDAR, Mini 5 Pro detects obstacles like tall buildings even in low-light conditions and intelligently maneuvers upward, ensuring safer returns during nighttime flights1.
Non-GNSS RTH: Powered by real-time vision positioning and map construction technologies, Mini 5 Pro memorises flight paths when adequate lighting is available1. This ensures a safe return even when taking off from locations without satellite signals, such as balconies.
Dual-Band GNSS: With L1 + L5 dual-band GNSS, Mini 5 Pro connects to more satellites, for improved signal stability and precise positioning.
Upgraded ActiveTrack 360°
The upgraded ActiveTrack 360° offers customisable tracking for various scenarios, and features more stable and safer tracking performance than previous models. Whether filming a stroll by the beach or a bike ride on a weaving road, the Mini 5 Pro detects sports scenarios and will select the right mode for optimal framing and tracking. Tracking performance has been enhanced to balance speed, agility, and safety.
Capture and Transfer Like a Pro
The Mini 5 Pro offers DJI’s intelligent features, which enable users to achieve professional-level results with every flight.
MasterShots: Provides high-level camera movement templates according to portrait, close-up, and long-distance shooting needs.
QuickShots: Supports various modes such as QuickShot Rotate, Dronie, Circle, Helix, Rocket, Boomerang, and Asteroid, allowing the user to easily shoot stylish short films.
Free Panorama: Enables users to create seamless panoramic shots by stitching together multiple images with a manually selected subject or area.
Off-State QuickTransfer: Mini 5 Pro supports remote wake-up via the DJI Fly app within Bluetooth range. Without taking out the drone or remote controller, files can be transferred at up to 100 MB/s via Wi-Fi 61. Even when switching to other apps, the DJI Fly app continues downloading in the background.
Extended Flight Time
With the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery Plus, flight time is increased by up to 16 minutes from the up to 36 minutes of the standard Intelligent Flight Battery to up to 52 minutes1.
