DJI Mini 5 Pro Announced: Where to Buy, Stock Updates, and Availability
posted Wednesday, September 17, 2025 at 1:30 PM EDT
DJI has officially launched the Mini 5 Pro, the latest ultralight drone in its ultralight lineup. Despite weighing just 249 grams — keeping it under regulatory thresholds in most regions — the Mini 5 Pro introduces several professional-grade features, including a 1-inch CMOS sensor similar to the Air 3S, upgraded obstacle avoidance, and longer flight times.
While the drone is already available in select markets, U.S. buyers may face delays, as DJI has not confirmed an official U.S. release.
