DJI Mini 5 Pro Drone with RC2 Fly More Combo

The DJI Mini 5 Pro (released late 2025) represents a massive technical leap for the Mini series, finally bringing a professional 1-inch sensor to a drone that remains (mostly) under the 250g weight limit. Combined with the RC 2 controller, this Fly More Combo is the definitive kit for high-end travel cinematography.

Key Features & Specs

• 1-Inch CMOS Sensor: This is the headline upgrade. It captures 50MP stills and provides significantly better low-light performance and dynamic range (up to 14 stops) compared to the Mini 4 Pro.

• Video Capabilities: Supports 4K/60fps HDR and a stunning 4K/120fps slow-motion mode. It also includes 10-bit D-Log M and HLG color profiles for professional grading.

• Nightscape Omnidirectional Sensing: A first for the series, it uses forward-facing LiDAR combined with vision sensors. This allows for reliable obstacle avoidance even in pitch-black conditions where traditional visual sensors usually fail.

• 225° Rotating Gimbal: The gimbal can now roll up to 225°, allowing for more creative "low-to-high" angle shots and seamless True Vertical Shooting for social media.

• O4+ Transmission: An upgraded system providing a rock-solid 10-bit live feed up to 20 km (FCC), with improved anti-interference in urban areas.

• Internal Storage: It now includes 42GB of built-in storage, a lifesaver if you forget your microSD card.

The RC 2 Remote Controller

The DJI RC 2 is a dedicated smart controller that eliminates the need to use your phone.

• Integrated Screen: 5.5-inch 1080p display with 700 nits of brightness (visible in most daylight).

• Processor: Upgraded internal processor for a smooth DJI Fly app experience.

• Antennas: Built-in 2T4R system that maximizes the O4+ transmission stability.

What’s in the "Fly More Combo"?

This bundle is designed for "all-day" shooting. It typically includes:

• 3x Intelligent Flight Batteries (giving you ~1.5 to 2 hours of total flight time).

• Two-Way Charging Hub (charges three batteries in sequence).

• DJI RC 2 Controller.

• ND Filter Set (ND8/32/128) (essential for cinematic motion blur in bright light).

• Shoulder Bag (compactly fits the drone, controller, and all accessories).

• Spare Propellers (3 pairs) and a storage cover.

Performance Summary

The "Weight" Catch: While the drone is marketed at 249.9g, using the "Intelligent Flight Battery Plus" (the 52-minute version) will push the weight over 250g. In many regions, this moves the drone into a different regulatory category requiring registration or extra permits.

Who is this for?

The Mini 5 Pro is the "Goldilocks" drone for prosumers and solo creators. It’s small enough to fit in a jacket pocket but has the image quality of the much larger Air series. It is perfect for travelers who want to bypass registration hurdles while still getting professional 4K footage.
