This announcement follows months of speculation and leaks, which began surfacing earlier in the year. However, more substantial details only emerged in recent weeks, revealing major upgrades over the current Mini 4 Pro. Unlike past releases, DJI has released a teaser video that offers a clear look at the drone and its standout features.
The most notable upgrade is the new camera system. The Mini 5 Pro features a 1-inch sensor with a 24 mm equivalent focal length and a wide f/1.8 aperture. This marks a significant improvement from the Mini 4 Pro’s 1/1.3-inch sensor. DJI states that the new camera captures 50 MP images and supports a 2x in-sensor crop. Equivalent to 48 mm, allowing for versatile shooting without quality loss.
With these enhancements, DJI positions the Mini 5 Pro as a compact yet powerful tool for both hobbyists and professional creators. The company’s decision to include such features in a sub-250 g drone reflects a growing demand for lightweight drones with professional capabilities.
Mini 5 Pro to Feature 4K/120FPS, OcuSync 4 Plus, and Advanced Tracking Modes
Beyond its upgraded camera, the DJI Mini 5 Pro brings a host of advanced features designed to improve flight performance and user experience. According to DJI’s teaser and supporting leaks, the drone will include 4K video recording at up to 120 frames per second. Allowing for high-resolution slow-motion footage.
The drone also supports DJI’s latest OcuSync 4 Plus technology. Which offers improved transmission range and video quality in real time. Flight control and video feedback are expected to be more stable, even in complex environments.
A major highlight is the addition of intelligent flight modes. These include ActiveTrack 360°, Cruise Control, Waypoint navigation, and a Follow mode enhanced by LADAR (Lidar Assisted Detection and Ranging). These features allow for smoother tracking, obstacle avoidance, and creative shooting paths with less manual input.

With all these capabilities packed into a compact frame, the Mini 5 Pro appears ready to redefine what lightweight drones can achieve.
