Unverified reports suggest DJI Mini 5 Pro could be the latest drone on the horizon, as rumors abound based on leaks from trusted sources.
The tech world is abuzz with rumours about the upcoming DJI Mini 5 Pro, a potential addition to the popular Mini series of drones.
According to various sources, the Mini 5 Pro is expected to boast a 1-inch image sensor, capable of 4K video at an impressive 120 frames per second. This feature, if true, would set the Mini 5 Pro apart from its predecessors and many competitors in the drone market.
Tech journalist Adam Juniper, with his 20 years of experience, has expressed his expertise in this area, making him a resident expert on camera drones and drone photography. Juniper, the author of several books including "The Complete Guide to Drones" and "The Drone Pilot's Handbook", also provides buying guides for aerial photographers of all ability levels.
Mario Tandoi, another industry insider, suggests forward-facing LiDAR and a 225-degree rotating gimbal for the Mini 5 Pro. These features could potentially enhance the drone's navigation and stability, making it a more versatile tool for various applications.
The images posted by known leakers resemble product shots, further fueling the speculation. However, it's important to note that these are unconfirmed reports.
Rumours also suggest a new flight time and a new camera for the Mini 5 Pro. Some tipsters even propose the option of a long-life battery with up to 52 minutes of theoretical flight time. This would be a significant improvement over the current Mini series' battery life.
However, there are concerns about the weight of the Mini 5 Pro. Xdrones Studio suggests the weight might jump to 253g, which could potentially invalidate its commercial use due to weight limits in many countries.
Meanwhile, some retailers have low stock and discounts for the DJI Mini 4 Pro, hinting at the imminent launch of its successor. It might be beneficial to monitor the price and supply of the Mini 4 Pro in the coming weeks.
In a surprising turn of events, Jasper Ellens, who has been focusing on the recently announced Antigravity drone, has shared images related to the Mini 5 Pro. The Antigravity drone, while innovative, has been criticised for not coming with a normal remote, requiring flying with goggles and a spectator, which may not comply with regulations.
The base model of the Mini 5 Pro is rumoured to be priced between $799 to $950, with the Fly More Combo priced between $1,099 and $1,299, and premium bundles costing up to $1,499 depending on included accessories. In Germany, the price is expected to be around 799 euros, similar to the previous model.
As always, take these rumours with a pinch of salt until official confirmation from DJI. But with the Mini series' reputation for innovation and quality, the Mini 5 Pro promises to be an exciting addition to the drone market.
