July 12, 2025 (SHENZHEN, China) – DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and aerial imaging technology, announced today the launch of the Mini 5 Pro, the newest addition to its best-selling Mini series. Designed to push the boundaries of ultra-portable drones, the Mini 5 Pro introduces 360° omnidirectional obstacle avoidance, setting a new standard for safety and innovation in lightweight drone technology.

“With the Mini 5 Pro, we’re bringing flagship-level features into an ultra-compact drone,” said Christina Zhang, Senior Director of Corporate Strategy at DJI. “It’s the perfect balance of performance, portability, and peace of mind for creators of all kinds.”

The Mini 5 Pro’s most groundbreaking feature—full obstacle sensing in every direction—is powered by an intelligent 6-camera vision system that helps the drone navigate even complex environments with precision and ease. This is the first time DJI’s full-scale obstacle avoidance technology has been included in a drone under 249 grams.

The drone also features powerful upgrades that empower creators, including:

  • A 1-inch CMOS sensor capable of capturing 4K video at 60 frames per second
  • RAW image support for advanced photo editing
  • 46-minute max flight time
  • Enhanced wind resistance and intelligent tracking modes

The Mini 5 Pro launch is supported by DJI’s new “Fly Fearlessly” campaign, which encourages users to explore creative freedom with confidence. The campaign will be highlighted across DJI’s media channels and include inspirational footage, expert tutorials, and featured user stories from around the world.

As drone regulations and safety concerns continue to evolve globally, the Mini 5 Pro positions DJI to meet increasing demand for safe, powerful, and travel-ready drones—ideal for professionals and enthusiasts alike.

Since its founding, DJI has revolutionized the drone market with innovations that combine cutting-edge technology and user accessibility. With the release of the Mini 5 Pro, DJI continues to lead the industry in redefining what’s possible in aerial creativity.
