DJI just released the Mini 5 Pro, a sub-250 g drone with major upgrades over its predecessor. It packs a 1-inch 50 MP sensor, improved obstacle avoidance, and longer battery life. Now, let’s jump in this article, where i will discuss everything about the latest DJI Mini 5 Pro, including its 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 under 250 g with the standard battery. Storage has increased to 42 GB internal memory, and data transfer speeds are faster than before. For Nepali users, its sub-250 g status means you likely don’t need formal registration, though local regulations still apply for protected sites and public areas (and other important rules as well).
Camera and Imaging
The Mini 5 Pro has a 1” 50 MP CMOS sensor behind a 24 mm f/1.8 lens, a big jump from the Mini 4 Pro’s 1/1.3” sensor. You get 14 stops of dynamic range, a 10-bit D-Log M format, and 4K 120fps slow-motion video. There’s also a 48 mm 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
The drone uses DJI’s O4+ transmission system with a 20 km range. Standard battery life reaches 36 minutes, and the optional Battery Plus lasts up to 52 minutes—but that pushes the weight over 250 g, so it’s not suitable in some regions. The Mini 5 Pro is faster than its predecessor, hitting 18 m/s horizontally and climbing at 10 m/s.
Obstacle avoidance also got a boost with forward-facing LiDAR and omnidirectional sensors. It can apparently even remember its flight path and return home without GPS.
