DJI Mini 5 Pro Drone Fly More Combo

Our thoughts

"The DJI Mini 5 Pro is the first ‘mini’ drone I’ve used that genuinely feels like a cut-down flagship rather than a compromise. The 1-inch sensor makes a clear difference to detail and low-light work, and the rotating gimbal plus true vertical shooting open up some really interesting options for both social content and more cinematic pieces. If you want something that travels easily but still looks professional on a big screen, this is a very smart choice."

Product description

Rent a DJI Mini 5 Pro when you need a lightweight, highly portable drone that still delivers serious image quality. This sub-250 g-class aircraft is designed for filmmakers and photographers who want a 1-inch sensor, strong low-light performance, and modern safety features in a drone that can slip into a small bag and travel easily across Canada.

The DJI Mini 5 Pro brings a 50MP 1-inch CMOS camera and f/1.8 lens to the Mini line, giving you detail and dynamic range that used to be reserved for larger platforms. It records up to 4K/60 HDR, with 4K/120 slow motion for dramatic movement and action shots, and offers 10-bit H.265 recording in D-Log M and HLG profiles to give colourists plenty of flexibility in post. A redesigned gimbal with roughly 225° of flexible rotation supports native vertical shooting and creative roll moves, while Nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensing and front-facing LiDAR help keep flights safer, even when light levels drop.

Despite the tech onboard, the Mini 5 Pro keeps to a compact, foldable form factor with a take-off weight of around 249.9 g with the standard battery. Flight time is rated up to about 36 minutes on the regular Intelligent Flight Battery, with the option to stretch endurance further using the higher-capacity “Plus” battery where regulations allow. Add in DJI’s O4+ video transmission with up to 20 km range (line-of-sight, subject to local rules and environment) and 42GB of internal storage, and you get a very complete tool for aerial work within a broader camera rental Canada kit.

Imaging and flight performance

The DJI Mini 5 Pro’s imaging pipeline is built around its 1-inch, 50MP CMOS sensor, which is a significant upgrade over the smaller chips found in earlier Mini models. It captures detailed 4K footage up to 60 fps in HDR, with 4K/120 available for slow motion sequences, making it suitable for everything from travel films to commercial social campaigns. The larger sensor, fast f/1.8 lens and modern processing offer wide dynamic range and improved low-light handling, helping you hold detail in both shadows and highlights when shooting at dawn, dusk or under contrasty skies.

For colour-critical work, the Mini 5 Pro supports 10-bit H.265 recording in D-Log M and HLG profiles, giving you more latitude for grading and matching with other cameras on set. The rotating gimbal provides roughly 225° of usable movement, supporting both standard landscape and genuine vertical capture without compromising resolution, plus more adventurous camera moves for those who like to push their aerial work. Combined with Nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensing, LiDAR-assisted front sensing and wind-resistance tuned for real-world conditions, flights feel confident and controlled rather than fragile or twitchy.

Why rent the DJI Mini 5 Pro?

The DJI Mini 5 Pro is a great rental option for anyone who needs high-quality aerials but doesn’t want to manage a bulky platform or a large crew. Documentary shooters will appreciate how quickly it deploys and how little space it takes in a backpack; travel and tourism teams can capture professional-looking footage without checking extra cases; and social media or branded-content crews can lean on the true vertical shooting for ready-to-post clips. It also makes sense as a “B-drone” alongside a larger system, giving you a small, nimble option for tighter spaces or environments where a heavier rig isn’t practical.

In day-to-day use, renters tend to value its balance of image quality, safety and simplicity. The 1-inch sensor holds up well when intercut with mirrorless and cinema cameras, the 10-bit profiles give colourists room to work, and the intelligent flight modes and obstacle sensing help keep flights under control when you’re working quickly. With respectable flight times on the standard battery and the option of extended batteries for longer missions (where permitted), it’s a versatile all-rounder for many types of production.
