DJI has officially launched the Mini 5 Pro, redefining what’s possible in a sub-250g drone. With a groundbreaking 1-inch, 50MP CMOS sensor, this palm-sized powerhouse delivers professional-grade imaging in a regulation-friendly package. It’s the first ultralight drone to feature such a large sensor, offering 4K/120fps slow motion, 14 stops of dynamic range, and 10-bit D-Log M for cinematic flexibility.
Designed for creators on the move, the Mini 5 Pro introduces a 225° rotating gimbal for true vertical video—perfect for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts. It also boasts Nightscape Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing, combining LiDAR and six sensors to navigate safely even in low light.
Flight time sees a boost too: 36 minutes on the standard battery, and up to 52 minutes with the Intelligent Flight Battery Plus. Despite its compact size, the drone supports up to 20km range and includes features like ActiveTrack 360°, MasterShots, and Quick Transfer at 100MB/s.
However, US UAV enthusiasts may be disappointed. DJI is not releasing the Mini 5 Pro directly in the United States, likely due to ongoing trade tensions. Buyers will need to rely on third-party resellers, often at higher prices and with limited warranty support.
For content creators, travellers, and aerial photographers in the Caribbean, the Mini 5 Pro is a compelling upgrade, packing serious tech into a featherweight frame. To buy we recommend visiting Caribbean UAVs website.
