DJI has been having a pretty solid year so far, with some mind-blowing product launches (and we aren't even done with the year yet). The Chinese giant thoroughly impressed us with the DJI Mavic 4 Pro and the DJI Osmo 360, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Today, DJI announced the brand new DJI Mini 5 Pro, the successor to the two-years-old DJI Mini 4 Pro — one of the best drones on the market.
As someone who reviews drones for a living (I know, it's very cool), this has been my most anticipated product launch for the back half of 2025, and if this is the last quadcopter DJI releases in the final quarter, what a way to end the year. I've been spending a few days flying the Mini 5 Pro and before I've conducted thorough testing to bring you the in-depth review, I thought I'd share my initial thoughts. Spoiler alert: this is a very, very, very good drone.
