FAQ

DJI Mini 5 Pro has comprehensive improvements in the camera system, vision sensing system, flight performance, and video transmission system. The main improvements include:

1. Camera System: Mini 5 Pro features a 1-inch CMOS sensor and a new image processing platform, delivering up to 14 stops of HDR video dynamic range ^[1]. It introduces a 48mm Med-Tele mode (2x zoom) and utilizes DJI's portrait optimization technology ^[2] for exceptional portrait photography.
2. Flexible Gimbal Rotation: The gimbal offers 225° of roll rotation, which can be controlled manually or through intelligent modes such as QuickShot Rotate, Timelapse, Spotlight, and Waypoint Flight, enabling effortless creation of dynamic rotational footage.
3. Sensing System: Mini 5 Pro features forward-facing LiDAR, supporting 1-lux nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensing ^[3] and next-gen Smart RTH. It can actively detect and avoid obstacles such as buildings along the flight and return paths, ensuring safer urban nightscape photography. It can also memorize flight paths in well-lit conditions, enabling quick takeoffs and safe returns even without satellite signals ^[3].
4. ActiveTrack: Mini 5 Pro intelligently detects different sports scenarios and automatically selects Cycling or Standard mode to ensure optimal framing and tracking. Tracking performance has been enhanced to balance speed, agility, and safety.
5. Flight Performance ^[4]: The Intelligent Flight Battery offers up to 36 minutes of flight time, a maximum takeoff altitude of 6000 meters, and a maximum forward flight speed of 18 m/s. The Intelligent Flight Battery Plus extends flight time to 52 minutes, with a maximum takeoff altitude of 4500 meters and a maximum forward flight speed of 19 m/s.
6. Video Transmission: DJI O4+ Video Transmission offers up to 20 km of 10-bit video transmission ^[5], with stronger signal stability, enhanced anti-interference capabilities, and superior image quality.
7. Off-State QuickTransfer: Mini 5 Pro has 42GB of internal storage. It also supports remote wake-up via the DJI Fly app within Bluetooth range, enabling high-speed file transfers at up to 100MB/s ^[6].
8. Battery Charging Efficiency ^[7]: Using the DJI 65W Portable Charger and charging via the Two-Way Charging Hub, it takes approximately 46 minutes to fully charge a single Intelligent Flight Battery (about 56 minutes for a single Intelligent Flight Battery Plus). Fully charging three Intelligent Flight Batteries takes about 115 minutes in total (about 193 minutes for three Intelligent Flight Battery Plus units).

<sup>1. 14 stops of dynamic range are achievable for video on Auto mode but not for slow-motion video or 48mm Med-Tele mode.
2. Only available in Normal mode and not supported in HLG or D-Log M.
3. Nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensing requires discernible textures and over 1 lux illumination; flight route memorization requires discernible textures and over 10 lux illumination. Refer to the official DJI website or the product's user manual for details.
4. The flight time and the maximum forward speed were measured in laboratory conditions, while the maximum takeoff altitude was measured in a high-altitude environment. Refer to the Spec page on the official DJI website or the product's user manual for details.
5. Measured in an outdoor, open environment, without interference, and with FCC compliance. The above data shows the farthest communication range for one-way, non-return flights. Always pay attention to reminders in the app during your flight.
6. Measured in a laboratory environment with little interference in countries/regions that support both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz. Download speeds may vary depending on the actual conditions.
7. Charging time is measured in a test environment with a temperature of 25° C (77° F). Actual charging time may increase due to higher ambient temperatures or variations in mains voltage between regions.</sup>

DJI Mini 5 Pro is C0 certified by a Notified Body.

No. Avoid contact with water during use, as it may damage the device.
If it rains during the flight, return and land as soon as possible, and wait until the drone is fully dry inside and out before using it again.

DJI Mini 5 Pro can only be used with the DJI Fly app. You can download the latest version of DJI Fly from the DJI Mini 5 Pro Downloads page on the official DJI website.

^{If you use DJI RC 2 as the remote controller, it comes with the pre-installed DJI Fly app.}

1. Dirt and debris can lead to false obstacle detection. Keep the forward-facing LiDAR clean to ensure accurate obstacle sensing.
2. The LiDAR works automatically in moderately lit environments, but it will not function properly in bright light. Pay attention to ambient light conditions to maintain safe flight operations.

1. Enhanced Nighttime Obstacle Sensing: Even in extremely dark conditions where the ambient light is less than 1 lux and the vision sensing system becomes ineffective, the forward-facing LiDAR can still provide forward obstacle sensing for the drone. This ensures that the drone can detect obstacles and perform timely stops at night.
2. Safer Nighttime RTH: During nighttime return-to-home operations, if the vision sensing system is ineffective, the drone can use the forward-facing LiDAR to sense forward obstacles and navigate upwards to avoid them*, making the return flight safer.

^{* If the drone reaches its altitude limit while ascending around obstacles, it will hover at that height.}

When recording video at 60fps or lower, DJI Mini 5 Pro enables HDR mode by default.

Yes. The USB-C port supports power input up to 9V/3A (with 9V/3A charger).

You can customize the C1/C2 button, the right dial, and other controls of DJI RC 2 in the DJI Fly app for more convenient control.

No.

In different environments, the wireless interference level is different, and the max transmission distance will vary.

Unobstructed:
Strong Interference: Urban landscape, approx. 1.5-4 km
Medium Interference: Suburban landscape, approx. 4-10 km
Low Interference: Suburb/seaside, approx. 10-20 km

Obstructed:
Low Interference and Obstructed by Buildings: approx. 0-0.7 km
Low Interference and Obstructed by Trees: approx. 0.7-4.5 km

^{Data tested under FCC standard in obstructed or unobstructed environments with typical interference. Used for reference purposes only and provides no guarantee for actual transmission distance.}

When the drone is connected to the remote controller and a new firmware version is available, the DJI Fly app will send you a firmware update prompt. You can follow the instructions to update the firmware for the drone, remote controller, battery, and other devices.
You can also update via the DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drones Series) software on a computer. The latest version of the software can be downloaded from the DJI Mini 5 Pro Downloads page on the official DJI website.

1. The battery level of the drone or remote controller is below 20%.
2. The drone or the remote controller is powered off during an update. If this happens, restart the drone and remote controller, and try again.
3. The network is disconnected during a firmware download.
4. Your smartphone interface is switched to other apps during a firmware download.

^{The drone will restart multiple times during an update and automatically power off after completing the update.}
