You might regret missing this DJI Mini 5 Pro deal

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally snag one of the most talked-about drones of recent years, consider this it. The ultra-capable DJI Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo (DJI RC 2) — normally listed around $1,599 — is currently marked down to about $1,099, a 31% discount that guarantees $500 in savings.

Even outside of this deal, the Mini 5 Pro is one of DJI’s most compelling drones, especially for creators who want pro-level footage without hauling around big gear. A few of its buzzworthy features:

• 1-inch 50 MP CMOS sensor for stunning 4K video and detailed stills — bigger than most mini drones.
• True vertical shooting and a wide-range gimbal with up to 225° rotation for creative angles.
• Nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensing thanks to vision systems and LiDAR, helping keep the drone safe, even in low-light situations.
• O4+ transmission with long-range, low-latency video feed; ideal for vloggers and professionals alike.

The combo also includes the DJI RC 2 controller, a smart controller with a bright built-in screen for flying without tethering to your phone — a genuinely nicer experience for many pilots compared to phone apps alone.

If you’ve been on the fence about upgrading from an older Mini or stepping up from a smartphone-guided drone, this sale turns ownership into a much easier decision. Traditionally, DJI Mini series drones have offered that “sweet spot” between performance and portability, but the Mini 5 Pro steps that up with features previously seen in larger drones.

And 31% off on a premium drone like this is no joke. At this price, you’re not just buying a drone; you’re unlocking tools that can produce cinematic shots, travel eye candy, and social media-worthy content with minimal fuss. For creators always chasing better visuals without paying pro-gear prices, that mix is rare.

Early buyers who’ve flown the Mini 5 Pro praise its photo quality, lightweight build, and intelligent safety features that make capturing breathtaking shots easier, even for hobbyists. As DJI continues to update its firmware and features, devices like this only become more capable over time.
