DJI Mini 5 Pro Rumored Specs

The most significant upgrade appears to be a possible one-inch camera sensor, a substantial improvement from the Mini 4 Pro’s 1/1.3-inch sensor. The drone features an innovative gimbal design that enables vertical shooting modes specifically optimized for social media content creation. The camera system can seemingly tilt straight upward, a first for the Mini series, dramatically expanding creative possibilities for aerial photographers.

Technical specifications from the leak indicate impressive capabilities: 25-kilometer (15.5-mile) range, 50-minute flight time, advanced LiDAR obstacle avoidance, and audio recording features. The drone incorporates dual front-facing wide-angle sensors complemented by two additional inward-positioned black sensors, presumably for enhanced obstacle detection and navigation.

Design refinements include precision landing sensors and an LED ground illumination system for improved low-light landing capability. The drone maintains the Mini series’ characteristic form factor with two small legs on the main body and additional legs on the front-facing arms, closely resembling the Mini 4 Pro’s design while incorporating these new features.

DJI appears to be focusing heavily on AI-powered tracking capabilities in this new model. This emphasis on Artificial Intelligence, combined with the advanced sensor array and versatile camera movements, suggests a drone designed to operate with greater autonomy and creative flexibility than its predecessors.

The integration of these advanced features while maintaining a sub-250-gram weight represents a significant engineering achievement. This weight class strategically positions the Mini 5 Pro to operate under minimal regulations in many jurisdictions, including the United States, making it particularly attractive for both recreational and professional users.

While pricing remains unconfirmed, industry watchers expect the Mini 5 Pro to command a premium over its predecessor when it launches, reportedly in the next few months. The combination of a potential one-inch sensor, vertical shooting capabilities, and advanced AI features suggests DJI is positioning this as their most capable ultralight drone yet, particularly targeting content creators and social media professionals.
