Just snagged the brand-new DJI Mini 5 Pro—top of the line and fresh out of the box! If you have any questions, drop them in the comments—I’m happy to chat. I actually traded in my Mini 3 Pro for this upgrade. While the Mini 4 Pro offered only minor improvements, the Mini 5 Pro steps it up with a 1-inch sensor, LiDAR technology, an impressive 52-minute flight time, and a built-in 4G module.
These aren’t just incremental updates—they’re meaningful enhancements that pack serious performance into its compact size, bringing the Mini series’ image quality remarkably close to the Air lineup.
Even though the 48mm zoom is digital, the larger sensor really shines, delivering crisp, lossless 4K footage and even creating beautifully compressed depth-of-field effects. But the real game-changer? Its lightweight design. It’s so much more backpack-friendly than the Air 3S, making it the perfect companion for adventures on the go.
Wow, a 1-inch sensor and built-in 4G module in something this small—that’s a game changer for shooting in remote areas. I’ve been using the Mini 3 Pro for travel, and losing signal behind cliffs was always a worry. That 52-minute flight time sounds unreal; would love to test it in the mountains next month!
Great point about the signal challenges in remote areas—it’s a huge upgrade for sure. The 4G module lets you maintain a stable connection even behind obstacles, while the extended flight time is ideal for mountain sessions; just remember to pack extra batteries for those longer shoots. If you test it next month, I’d love to hear how it performs in those conditions!
