50MP 1-inch CMOS sensor for detailed photos and videos

DJI’s Mini 5 Pro is equipped with a 50MP 1-inch CMOS sensor and an f1.8 aperture, delivering high-quality aerial imaging in a compact body. The large sensor is enhanced by a new image-processing technology and intelligent algorithms, which preserve details in low-light conditions. The Mini 5 Pro supports 4K/60fps HDR video with up to 14 stops of dynamic range, preserving detail in both highlights and shadows for cinematic results. For high-action scenes, 4K/120fps slow-motion adds fluid clarity, while 10-bit H.265 encoding ensures refined colour grading in post-production.

With support for D-Log M and HLG modes, as well as high ISO performance up to 3200 in colour modes, footage retains depth and detail even in nightscapes or complex lighting conditions. The raised ISO ceiling of 12800 ensures crisp results in low-light conditions, while the 48mm Med-Tele mode with 2x zoom adds depth and clarity to portraits and landscapes.

255° gimbal rotation and True vertical shooting

The 225° gimbal rotation provides wide-angle roll flexibility, allowing shots from dynamic perspectives that were previously hard to achieve. Whether framing tall structures, shooting upward at unique angles, or composing dramatic aerial reveals, the Mini 5 Pro adapts with precision. True vertical shooting enables full-frame photos and videos ready for instant social sharing, eliminating the need for cropping and preserving every pixel of detail in portrait compositions.

Advanced obstacle sensing for safer flights

The DJI Mini 5 Pro reinforces safety with nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensing. Forward-facing LiDAR, combined with multiple vision sensors and 3D infrared detection, covers forward, backwards, upward, and lateral directions, as well as the underside of the aircraft. This allows the Mini 5 Pro to actively avoid obstacles in both daylight and low-light conditions. Features such as Nighttime RTH and Non-GNSS RTH ensure confident returns, even when satellite signals are weak or when flying in complex environments like urban areas. The Mini 5 Pro also has L1+L5 dual-band GNSS, allowing it to connect to more satellites for better signal stability.

Enhanced subject tracking and intelligent shooting modes

Upgraded ActiveTrack 360° allows the DJI Mini 5 Pro to follow subjects with greater adaptability and precision. Multi-scenario tracking detects sports scenarios and automatically selects cycling or standard mode for ideal framing and tracking. The drone’s tracking balances speed, agility and safety, providing tracking that prioritises speed suited to open areas or a rear tracking mode for more complex environments.

The DJI Mini 5 Pro offers intelligent modes to enhance your shoots. MasterShots provides camera movement templates, while QuickShots includes options like Rotate, Dronie, Circle, Helix, Rocket, Boomerang, and Asteroid for cinematic clips. Free Panorama stitches multiple images into wide shots, and Off-State QuickTransfer enables fast file sharing via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 6 at up to 100MB/s, with support for remote wake-up and background downloads.

Improved transmission and flight times

Equipped with O4+ transmission technology, the DJI Mini 5 Pro maintains a reliable live feed at distances up to 20 km, with strong anti-interference performance for stable control. Flight time is extended to 36 minutes with the DJI Mini 5 Pro Intelligent Flight Battery, while fast-charging supports reduced downtime between sessions. Operating at altitudes of up to 6000 metres and reaching ascent speeds of 10 m/s, this drone is prepared for challenging environments and wide-ranging aerial projects.

Know The Rules!

The UK’s drone rules are based on the risk of the flight – where you fly, the proximity to other people, and the size and weight of your drone. Any drone with a camera will require an Operator ID, regardless of weight. However, an additional Flyer ID is required for drones of 250g and over.

Other qualifications are still needed for commercial drone use, and even then, this doesn't mean you can fly your drone anywhere. Ensure you know the rules and consult the Drone Code before you fly; if you want to fly commercially, you must take the PfCO CAA exam (Permission for Commercial Operations).

FAQs:

How compact is the DJI Mini 5 Pro?

The DJI Mini 5 Pro is designed with portability in mind, folding down to just 157 x 95 x 68 mm, small enough to fit into a jacket pocket or travel bag. When unfolded with propellers, it extends to 255 x 181 x 91 mm, maintaining a lightweight take-off weight of 249.9g. This compact build makes it easy to carry on trips while still offering advanced imaging and flight performance.

This drone may weigh over 250g once accessories such as propeller guards or ND filters are attached. It is the pilot’s responsibility to check the take-off weight before flying.

In the UK, drones weighing 250g or more require the pilot to hold a Flyer ID, which involves passing a free online test provided by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Regardless of weight, all drones with a camera must be registered to obtain an Operator ID.

By law, you must:

• Register as an operator (for drones with a camera, including those under 250g)
• Hold a Flyer ID if the drone weighs 250g or more
• Follow the CAA’s Drone and Model Aircraft Code
