The wait is finally over! After using the DJI Mini 3 Pro for quite some time (and skipping the Mini 4 series), we finally got our hands on the latest DJI Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo.
Let’s dive deep into its unboxing, features, first impressions, and everything that comes inside this premium package.

🎮 DJI RC2 Controller Overview

🔋 Battery and Charging Hub
DJI provides a Two-way Charging Hub that holds three batteries — two extras plus the one inside the drone.
You can charge all three sequentially via USB-C and also use the hub as a power bank.
Each battery offers around 52 minutes of flight time (claimed).
Real-world performance will be covered in our in-depth review.
🪶 Drone Design & Build Quality
Finally, the star of the show — the DJI Mini 5 Pro itself.
Compact, foldable, and ultra-light at 299 grams (with battery) — which keeps it under most countries’ no-license weight category.
Remove the gimbal cover and you’ll notice the 1-inch sensor — a huge upgrade for a drone this size.
The build feels premium yet light. DJI has clearly worked on aerodynamics and overall balance.
The folding mechanism is smooth and intuitive.
📷 Camera & Gimbal Features
This is where DJI truly flexes.
The Mini 5 Pro packs a 1-inch CMOS Sensor with f/1.8 aperture — capable of capturing crisp details even in low light.
Key Camera Specs:
- Up to 4K 120FPS video recording
- 48MP Photo Mode
- Vertical & Horizontal Shooting (225° gimbal rotation)
- 2x Tele Mode (Crop Zoom)
- ActiveTrack for running, cycling, etc.
- Omnidirectional Obstacle Avoidance with forward-facing LiDAR sensors
The addition of vertical shooting makes it perfect for social media creators — directly ready for Reels, Shorts, or TikToks without cropping.
🌦️ Flight Performance (on Paper)
According to DJI, the Mini 5 Pro can fly up to 52 minutes per battery in ideal conditions.
You also get:
- Omnidirectional obstacle sensing
- Better GPS stability
- Wind resistance improvements
- Enhanced transmission range
With its upgraded processor, flight response feels smoother, and ActiveTrack is expected to be even more intelligent.
🎒 ND Filters & Accessories
Included in the combo are three ND filters — ND8, ND32, and ND64.
Perfect for shooting in bright conditions, maintaining shutter control, and achieving that cinematic motion blur.
The Fly More Combo gives creators a complete ready-to-shoot setup — batteries, filters, and all key accessories bundled in one kit.
💰 Pricing & Availability
As of now, DJI hasn’t officially confirmed the India pricing, but the global retail price for the Fly More Combo hovers around $1,099 – $1,199 USD.
You can check the best-buy links in the description or directly on DJI’s official website once listed.
