A leaked photo of the DJI Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo box has surfaced online, giving the clearest look yet at the specs of DJI’s next compact drone. The packaging confirms several long-rumored upgrades, including a larger camera sensor, improved safety features, and a surprising jump in flight time.
According to the box, the Mini 5 Pro will feature a 1-inch CMOS sensor — the first in DJI’s Mini lineup. It supports 4K video at up to 120fps for slow-motion capture and offers a 48mm telephoto mode through crop zoom. The gimbal now rotates 225 degrees, enabling vertical shots aimed at social media creators.
The leak also points to new front-facing LiDAR sensors, allowing for 360-degree obstacle detection, even in low light. This should make flying safer in tight areas such as forests or city streets. DJI’s ActiveTrack is included as well, helping keep subjects in frame during activities like running or cycling.
Much longer battery life
One of the bigger surprises is battery life. The box lists a maximum 52-minute flight time, far beyond the 36 minutes suggested by earlier leaks. That figure comes from the “Fly More Combo Plus,” which includes three higher-capacity “Flight Battery Plus” units. However, these batteries may push the drone’s weight over the 250g limit, meaning pilots in some regions could lose C0 certification benefits.
The bundle also features the DJI RC2 controller with a built-in screen and an ND filter set for video work. With standard batteries, the drone still stays under 250g. Availability of the Plus version outside China is still unknown. A tweet from @KietN7650 on X also shows the main contents of the package, including the Mini 5 Pro itself and the DJI RC2 controller powered on.
The DJI Mini 5 Pro is rumored to launch in September 2025, marking the most significant update yet in DJI’s lightweight drone series.
