The DJI Mini 5 Pro drone is now even harder to ignore

If you’ve been tracking DJI’s latest gear and the ongoing turbulence in the US drone market, this may feel like a rare moment worth noticing. The DJI Mini 5 Pro, one of the most capable compact drones ever released, is currently available on Amazon starting at $759 with Prime shipping. But the real eye-popping deal is the Fly More Combo with the DJI RC 2 controller, now at $1,099, down significantly from its typical $1,599 list price on other retailers. That’s a $500-plus in savings, and it comes with the accessories that unlock the Mini 5 Pro’s full potential.

For aspiring filmmakers, travelers who want gallery-ready footage, or savvy hobbyists, this is the kind of pricing moment that’s hard to ignore.

What makes the Mini 5 Pro drone so special?

This isn’t your average beginner drone. DJI’s Mini line has always been prized for its size, but the Mini 5 Pro cranks capability up several notches.

At its heart is a large-format camera sensor — roughly 1-inch in size — which lets the Mini 5 Pro capture sharp, high-dynamic-range photos and videos that are punchier and cleaner than most ultra-light drones. It supports crisp 4K footage, high frame rates for slow motion, and advanced color profiles that help make every shot look more cinematic.

Unlike earlier Mini models that pushed weight limits to stay ultra-light, this drone blends performance and portability with advanced safety features like omnidirectional obstacle sensing. That means the craft actively scans for hazards in all directions, helping reduce the chance of collisions during tricky aerial shots.

It also packs smarter autonomy, improved subject tracking, and more reliable signal transmission, making it easier and more satisfying to fly whether you’re a seasoned pilot or picking up the controller for the first time.

Why the Combo deal is worth a closer look

While the base $759 listing gets you the core drone package, i.e., the aircraft and essential accessories, it’s the Fly More Combo with DJI RC 2 where the value really lands. That bundle includes:

• The DJI RC 2 controller, with its built-in bright display, so you don’t need to tether a phone to fly — a convenience that becomes a huge workflow advantage in bright light or when you’re constantly on the go.
• Three intelligent flight batteries, which dramatically extend total airtime. Instead of a single battery’s 30-plus minutes in ideal conditions, you’re looking at roughly 100 minutes of total flight time.
• Extra propellers, carry case, and other accessories that make traveling with the drone simpler and more organized.

Packaged together at roughly $1,099, it’s not just a discount; it’s the kind of kit that feels complete from day one. And with Prime shipping promises, you can have it in hand quickly.

It’s worth noting that DJI’s ability to launch new models in the US is currently limited by regulatory decisions that bar new foreign-made drones from entering the American market unless they clear specific approval hurdles — something that has weighed on recent DJI releases. Yet existing models like the Mini 5 Pro remain legal to buy and fly today.

As such, the Fly More Combo at $1,099 becomes a standout opportunity to pick up one of DJI’s most capable portable drones with accessories nearly half off relative to standard pricing elsewhere. For creators and travelers who prize image quality, portability, and intuitive flying, that’s a deal worth considering, especially with Valentine’s Day approaching and Prime delivery on the table.
