"I've been testing DJI's Mini drones since the company launched the series, and one thing has always been consistent: They've stayed comfortably under the crucial 250-gram weight limit. That predictability has been a part of their appeal; if you buy a Mini, you know exactly what flight restrictions you're dealing with (i.e., very few). The DJI Mini 5 Pro breaks with that tradition in a way that feels slightly concerning."
"I enquired about the weight, and a DJI spokesperson sent me the following statement: "The DJI Mini 5 Pro has a design weight of 249.9 grams. Due to manufacturing tolerances, the actual weight of the product may vary slightly within a range of ±4 g. Minor weight fluctuations are normal. We recommend that when UK users are operating the drone, local regulations are complied with, which can be found here.""
DJI Mini 5 Pro features a 1-inch sensor that provides Air-class image quality and integrates lidar-based obstacle avoidance that functions in darkness. The drone delivers strong wind resistance while maintaining a compact, pocketable design. Production units can weigh slightly above 250 grams; DJI states a design weight of 249.9 g with manufacturing tolerances of ±4 g. The drone holds a Class 0 rating in Europe. In jurisdictions such as the UK and the US, legality hinges on actual weight and user compliance with local regulations. The device is not available for purchase in the US.
