More DJI Mini 5 Pro leaks suggest it will set the bar for ultra-lightweight drones, for a tantalizing price
- Fly More Combo contents and Euro pricing seemingly unearthed
- Launch accessory list also revealed
- DJI Mini 5 Pro is expected to officially launch in September
As the rumored DJI Mini 5 Pro launch looms ever closer, what was one a steady stream of leaks has become more like a raging torrent.
This week has seen lots of interesting information spill out of the online rumor mill. For starters, there’s the emergence of a new video animation apparently showing the ultra-lightweight drone folding and unfolding, as posted on X (formely Twitter) by trusted drone tipster Jasper Ellens.
Unexpectedly the #Mini5Pro #Flymore might cost exactly the same as the current #Mini4Pro. Also, this video was found in DJI Beta software today hinting on a mid-September release? Let’s break down these leaks: https://t.co/UbE9bldXeV Cheers! pic.twitter.com/18r6QbuHCqAugust 26, 2025
Ellens has also found evidence, hidden in the code of certain European web stores and posted on his website DroneXL, that points at the pricing for the DJI Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo bundle. At €1129, it’s exactly the same as the current retail price for the DJI Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo – which is great news considering the Mini 5 Pro seems set to offer quite an upgrade over its predecessor. (For reference, the current US and UK prices for the Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo are $1758 and £979 respectively.)
Previous rumors strongly point to the Mini 5 Pro coming with on-board LiDAR and a camera with a 1-inch sensor – two major feature bumps over what’s been available on previous models in the Mini series.
Plus points
Ellens then followed up those leaks with yet another, tweeting out an image of what appears to be the retail packaging DJI Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo itself – or, rather, the Fly More Combo Plus. This bundle apparently includes the RC 2 controller and three Flight Battery Plus units, each of which provide enough power for up to 52 minutes of flight.

It seems likely that buyers will have a choice between a regular Fly More Combo featuring standard batteries, and this one, which offers more flight time. It’ll be interesting to see if these Plus batteries are heavier and increase take-off weight beyond the magic 250g limit. My guess is that they will, and thus won’t be of much use to buyers who want to take advantage of the reduced paperwork and restrictions surrounding ultra-lightweight drones.
Packaging doesn’t usually emerge until very close to launch, so if this leak is genuine, I’d expect DJI to be officially announcing the Mini 5 Pro in the next few weeks. With a mid-September release date rumored, we may have confirmation of all the drone’s features, specs and price very soon.
