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.
The DJI Mini 5 Pro is equipped with a 50MP 1" sensor behind a 24mm f/1.8 lens. For comparison, the Mini 4 Pro had a 1/1.3" sensor. The high-resolution sensor offers a 48mm med-tele mode. DJI says that this sensor captures 14 stops of dynamic range and there's a 10-bit D-Log M format. 4K 120fps slow-motion video is also available.
