The Mini 5 Pro is expected to be equipped with a LiDAR sensor, which will improve obstacle avoidance capabilities. With the larger "Plus" battery, flight time could exceed 50 minutes. However, the takeoff weight is likely to exceed the 249g borderline in Europe and the United States.

DJI's digital FPV system was too expensive, large, and heavy for Japanese FPV pilots, but this is expected to be improved.

It can shoot 48M pixel photos and 4K videos, and is equipped with RockSteady 3.0+, HorizonSteady, and HorizonBalancing video stabilization technology.
