The best drones can help take your content creation skills to the next level but they can also be heaps of fun to fly. In recent years, drone videography has become more accessible thanks to mini drones, but these quadcopters usually come with some restrictions, such as not having the best obstacle avoidance or the biggest sensors. Well, the DJI Mini 5 Pro fixes every problem I’ve encountered with mini drones, and it sets a new gold standard.
When I first flew the Mini 5 Pro a few weeks ago, I instantly fell in love with it, and my first impressions told me it could be the drone to beat — and I’m pleased to say I have not been proven wrong after having conducted my battery of tests. It improves on its predecessor by introducing a large 1-inch sensor, forward-facing LiDAR for better obstacle avoidance, a free moving gimbal, all while maintaining a compact size.
