Will there be a DJI Mini 5 Pro, and what are the rumors?

Yes, all signs point to DJI launching the DJI Mini 5 Pro soon. Although nothing has been officially confirmed yet, there are already plenty of rumors, marketing images, and specifications circulating. Below is an overview of what is known so far.

When is the DJI Mini 5 Pro coming?

  • Multiple sources point to a September 2025 release, possibly around Sept. 16.
  • The timing fits DJI's pattern of ±2 years between Mini launches (Mini 4 Pro came in 2023).

Expected improvements

  • 1-inch camera sensor - a big step forward in image quality for a drone under 250 g.
  • LiDAR obstacle detection - advanced sensors for better safety.
  • Larger battery capacity - from about 2690 mAh to 4680 mAh, good for longer flight times.
  • More powerful, better-cooled motors - for greater efficiency and stability.
  • C0 and C1 rating - choice between < 250 g (C0) or longer flight time with "Plus" battery (C1).
  • Fly More Combo Plus - bundle with RC 2 controller and three "Plus" batteries (up to about 52 minutes per battery).

Design and additional features

  • New housing and packaging - marketing photos and bundle variants have already leaked.
  • C0 label visible - confirms that there will be an ultralight version under 250 g.
  • New side button - presumably for quick or hands-free launch.
  • Improved transmission - FCC leaks point to stronger signal and longer range.
  • Test prototypes - already spotted during field tests without a propeller cage.

Price and packages

  • Entry price is expected to be around the current Mini 4 Pro (~€799).
  • Fly More Combo is estimated at about €1,129, including RC 2 controller and extra batteries.
  • Compatibility - existing Mini 3 Pro and Mini 4 Pro batteries would be usable.

Conclusion

All signs point to the DJI Mini 5 Pro being released in September 2025. Expect a major upgrade featuring a 1-inch sensor, LiDAR, longer flight times, and improved motors. The C0 version will remain under 250 g, while the Plus batteries will offer longer flight times but fall into the C1 category. With this, DJI seems to be raising the bar once again for ultralight drones.
