The DJI Mini 5 Pro puts a 1-inch sensor in a Mini-sized drone - a spec that used to mean stepping up to a 700 g-class drone like the Air 3S. DJI lists it at about 249.9 g (DJI quotes ±4 g between units), right at India's 250 g nano limit, so check your unit's category before you fly. Here are both Fly More Combo options sold in India, the full spec sheet, and an honest read on who should buy it versus who should look elsewhere in DJI's range.

DJI Mini 5 Pro price in India

HobiTech lists the Mini 5 Pro in two Fly More Combo configurations - there's no single-battery unit sold on its own, since almost nobody buying a travel drone wants to be caught out with one battery's worth of flight time.

Both include the DJI RC 2 screen controller. The Fly More Combo is ₹1,44,990 and the Fly More Combo Plus is ₹1,46,990, both excluding 18% GST (checked 16 October 2026). The difference between the two comes down to what's in the box - see the full breakdown below before you pick one.

What's in each Fly More Combo

Fly More Combo:

DJI Mini 5 Pro × 1
DJI RC 2 × 1
ND Filter Set (ND8/32/128) × 1
Intelligent Flight Battery × 3
Two-Way Charging Hub × 1
Storage Cover × 1
Spare Propeller (Pair) × 3
Shoulder Bag × 1
USB-C to USB-C Data Cable × 1

Fly More Combo Plus:

DJI Mini 5 Pro × 1
DJI RC 2 × 1
Intelligent Flight Battery Plus × 3
ND Filter Set (ND8/32/128) × 1
Two-Way Charging Hub × 1
Storage Cover × 1
Spare Propeller (Pair) × 3
Shoulder Bag × 1
USB-C to USB-C Data Cable × 1

The two kits differ only in the batteries. The standard Combo has three standard batteries (up to 36 minutes each, per DJI) and keeps the drone at about 249.9 g. The Combo Plus has three Battery Plus packs (up to 52 minutes each), but each Battery Plus weighs about 117 g against about 71.2 g, so as sold the drone is over 250 g and counts as a micro drone in India. Check the Fly More Combo and Fly More Combo Plus product pages for current stock before you decide.

Why the 1-inch sensor and LiDAR matter

A 1-inch sensor is normally what you'd expect to find on a drone in the Air-series weight class - the Air 3S weighs 724 g - not on something that folds into a jacket pocket. Larger sensors gather more light per pixel, which shows up as better dynamic range, cleaner shadows, and noticeably less noise once the sun goes down. The Mini 5 Pro brings that sensor size to about 249.9 g (DJI quotes ±4 g), right at India's 250 g nano limit. At 250 g or less no pilot licence is needed, but you must still register it on DGCA's Digital Sky (eGCA) portal; because an individual unit can weigh slightly more, check its category before flying - see our DGCA drone rules guide for the specifics that apply to your use case.

It also adds a forward-facing LiDAR sensor alongside the usual omnidirectional vision system - LiDAR keeps working reliably in low light and near-dark conditions where pure vision-based obstacle sensing tends to struggle, which matters if you fly around dusk or indoors.

How Mini 5 Pro pricing compares to the rest of DJI's lineup

From lowest to highest price, with current prices on each product page:

The Mini 5 Pro sits well above the Neo 2 and Lito series in price, but those drones use smaller 1/2" and 1/1.3" sensors respectively - the jump buys meaningfully better image quality, not just a bigger name. Compared with the Air 3S, the Mini 5 Pro costs less and, with the standard battery, sits at the nano limit, but gives up the Air 3S's second tele camera and its longer 45-minute flight time (against 36 minutes for the standard Mini 5 Pro combo). Read our full Air 3S price and review if you're weighing the two against each other.

Who should buy the DJI Mini 5 Pro

Based on what the hardware actually does well:

Travel and vlogging creators who want 1-inch image quality in a drone at about 249.9 g, at India's nano limit
Anyone upgrading from a Mini 3 or Mini 4 Pro who wants a visible jump in dynamic range and low-light detail
Dusk and night shooters who need LiDAR-backed obstacle sensing when vision sensors alone start to struggle
First-time buyers who want DJI's best available sensor without stepping up to Air-series weight

If budget is the main constraint and image quality is secondary, the Lito X1 or Neo 2 cost significantly less. If you regularly need optical zoom for a second angle without changing position, the Air 3S is the better tool even at a higher price and weight. Not sure which fits your shooting style? Talk to our team - we'll help you pick the right drone before you spend.

In short: the DJI Mini 5 Pro puts a genuine 1-inch sensor and LiDAR-backed obstacle sensing into a drone of about 249.9 g (DJI quotes ±4 g). Registration on DGCA's Digital Sky (eGCA) portal is required; at 250 g or less no pilot licence is needed, so check your unit's category before flying. It costs less than the Air 3S while closing most of the image-quality gap for anyone who doesn't need optical zoom.

Frequently asked questions

When was the DJI Mini 5 Pro launched?

DJI launched the Mini 5 Pro on 17 September 2025, after months of leaks. It is on sale in India now: the Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo (DJI RC 2) is ₹1,44,990 before GST at HobiTech.

Does the DJI Mini 5 Pro need DGCA registration in India?

Yes. Every drone in India must be registered on DGCA's eGCA portal to get a Unique Identification Number (UIN). DJI lists the Mini 5 Pro at about 249.9 g with the standard battery and quotes ±4 g between units, so it sits right at the 250 g nano limit. At 250 g or less it is a nano drone and you don't need a Remote Pilot Certificate (pilot licence); if your unit weighs more, or you fly the Battery Plus from the Combo Plus, it counts as a micro drone and also needs third-party insurance. Weigh it with battery and propellers fitted and check its category before flying. Where you can fly still depends on the airspace zone, so check our DGCA drone rules guide for the details that apply to your situation.

What's the difference between the two Fly More Combo options?

Only the batteries differ. The standard Fly More Combo (₹1,44,990 + GST) ships with three standard batteries (up to 36 minutes each) and keeps the drone at about 249.9 g. The Fly More Combo Plus (₹1,46,990 + GST) ships with three Battery Plus packs (up to 52 minutes each), which takes it over 250 g into the micro class.

Does the Mini 5 Pro come with warranty and support in India?

Yes. HobiTech is a DJI specialist retailer based in Bengaluru with an in-house repair lab, genuine GST invoicing and free pan-India delivery by DTDC, and the drone carries HobiTech's own 1-year warranty - see our warranty and repair guide for what's covered.

DJI Mini 5 Pro vs Air 3S - which should I buy?

Choose the Mini 5 Pro if portability matters most and you want to stay near India's 250 g nano limit (standard battery). Choose the Air 3S if you need a genuine optical tele camera and don't mind the extra weight. Full comparison in our Air 3S price and review.
