The DJI Mini 5 Pro is DJI’s anticipated next-generation ultralight camera drone, expected to stay in the sub-250g weight class while adding a larger sensor, longer flight time and smarter obstacle sensing. As of 2026 DJI has not officially confirmed the full specifications or a release date — the details on this page are based on credible leaks and should be treated as rumors until DJI’s official announcement.
Last updated: May 2026. Specifications, pricing and release timing below are based on industry leaks and rumors and have not been officially confirmed by DJI. We update this page as verified information is released.
What is the DJI Mini 5 Pro?
The DJI Mini 5 Pro is the rumored successor to the popular DJI Mini 4 Pro. Like the rest of the Mini line, its headline feature is weight: it is expected to come in under 249 grams. That sub-250g threshold matters because, in many countries, lighter drones face lighter registration and licensing requirements — making the Mini series the easiest entry point into aerial photography.
What sets a “Pro” Mini apart is the camera and the safety sensors. Leaks point to the Mini 5 Pro pushing image quality and obstacle avoidance closer to DJI’s larger Air-class drones, while keeping the ultralight body.
DJI Mini 5 Pro rumored specifications
The table below summarises what leaks currently suggest. Every figure should be considered unconfirmed until DJI’s official launch.
| Feature | Rumored / Expected |
|---|---|
| Take-off weight | Under 249 g |
| Camera sensor | Larger 1-inch-class CMOS (rumored) |
| Video | 4K at high frame rates |

Expected release date
DJI has not announced an official release date for the Mini 5 Pro. Based on DJI’s typical product cycle and leak activity, an announcement window is widely discussed within the industry, but no date is confirmed. Treat any specific date you see online as speculation until DJI states otherwise.
Expected price
Pricing is also unconfirmed. The Mini “Pro” models have historically launched in the upper end of the consumer-drone price range, with the final cost depending on the bundle (drone only versus Fly More combos with extra batteries and a controller). We will update this section with confirmed pricing — including availability in Jordan — once DJI announces it.
Biggest expected upgrades over the DJI Mini 4 Pro
- A larger camera sensor for better low-light performance and dynamic range.
- Higher-quality video options for creators.
- Refined omnidirectional obstacle sensing.
- Longer flight time per battery.
- An updated transmission system for a more stable signal.
Should you buy now or wait for the Mini 5 Pro?
If you need a drone today, the DJI Mini 4 Pro remains an excellent sub-250g choice and is unlikely to disappoint. If you can wait and you want the newest sensor and features, holding out for the Mini 5 Pro’s official announcement makes sense — just avoid pre-ordering based on unconfirmed specs.
