DJI launched the Mini 5 Pro, a sub-250 gm drone, a little over a month ago. It packs a 1-inch 50MP image sensor, improved obstacle avoidance, and longer battery life. And it’s now available in Nepal too! So let’s jump into this article, where I will discuss everything about the latest DJI Mini 5 Pro, including its official price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.
DJI Mini 5 Pro Overview
Design and usability
The Mini 5 Pro folds down small enough to fit in a backpack, weighing just 249.9 gm with the standard battery. Storage has increased to 42GB internal memory, and data transfer speeds are faster than before.
But unlike in the US where you don’t need to register drones weighing under 250 grams with the federal agency, you’ll still need to register the Mini 5 Pro at CAAN or other appropriate authority if you plan on flying it beyond your private property.
Camera
Like I mentioned before, the Mini 5 Pro has a 1-inch 50MP CMOS sensor. It sits behind a 24mm f/1.8 lens, marking a big jump from the Mini 4 Pro’s 1/1.3-inch sensor. You get 14 stops of dynamic range, a 10-bit D-Log M format, and a 4K 120 fps slow-motion option. There’s also a 48mm medium-tele mode and a gimbal that can roll 225°, which lets you shoot vertical video and Dutch angles.
Compared to heavier drones like the Air 3 or Mavic 4 Pro, the Mini 5 Pro brings features normally reserved for larger models into a tiny package. Its camera system is, I think, enough for travelers who do not want to carry a bulky drone.

Flight, battery, and performance
This drone uses DJI’s O4+ transmission system with a 20 km range. Standard battery life reaches 36 minutes, while the optional Flight Battery Plus lasts up to 52 minutes. But do note that the extra battery life also adds extra weight to the drone. The Mini 5 Pro is faster than its predecessor too, hitting 18 m/s horizontally and climbing at 10 m/s.
Obstacle avoidance also gets a boost with forward-facing LiDAR and omnidirectional sensors. It can even remember its flight path and return home even without GPS.
