Review notes

The DJI Mini 5 Pro represents a substantial upgrade to the popular Mini series, particularly excelling in camera performance and battery longevity. It features a new 1-inch sensor, delivering 14 stops of dynamic range, and offers a 2x (48mm equivalent) tele lens through intelligent cropping of its 50-megapixel sensor, although this tele lens shows noise in low light. Real-world flight time is dramatically improved, easily reaching 30 minutes compared to 15-20 minutes on its predecessor. If you prioritize superior video and photo quality from a sub-250g drone with advanced features like improved tracking and obstacle avoidance, this is worth it. If consistent low-light telephoto performance is a critical need, you may notice some limitations.

What the reviewer liked

  • New 1-inch camera sensor (same as DJI Air 3S main camera)
  • 14 stops of dynamic range in D-log M and normal profiles
  • 50-megapixel quad-bear sensor enables 2x (48mm equivalent) medium tele lens
  • Rotating gimbal for true vertical and 225-degree roll videos
  • Auto-on feature for quicker deployment
  • Push-and-turn propellers, eliminating need for screwdriver
  • Significantly improved real-world battery life (easily 30 minutes)
  • Fly More Combo case charges two batteries simultaneously
  • Improved photo quality with more dynamic range
  • Front-facing Lidar sensors for low-light object detection (up to one lux)
  • Advanced Return to Home system (inherited from Air 3S and Mavic 4 Pro)
  • Improved Active Track with better car tracking, faster agility, and cycling mode
  • Travels 2 mph faster than Mini 4 Pro

What the reviewer criticised

  • 2x medium tele lens introduces noise in low light conditions
  • Gimbal rotation is limited to 225 degrees, not a full 360-degree infinity roll
  • 2x tele lens is a digital crop, not a dedicated secondary physical lens
