We have a last-minute leak just before the official announcement of the DJI Mini 5 Pro drone. A new promotional poster has surfaced, which appears to be an official one for the upcoming DJI Mini 5 Pro. Finally, the compact professional DJI Mini 5 drone is ready to be announced. According to Chinese sources, offline blind pre-orders for the DJI Mini 5 Pro have been placed in massive numbers. There is a huge demand for the drone; the orders have reportedly kicked off in some of the selected regions. We have also seen a lot of rumour box leaks in recent weeks, which clearly means DJI is stocking up its drones. Now, obviously, the poster we have seen is a visual confirmation of blending professional-level capability into a mini drone.
Regarding the poster, the one you have seen features the DJI Mini 5 drone soaring over a scene of mountains and landscapes, with its tagline emphasizing “Pro in Mini.” Obviously, it’s a very exciting moment for us. As per the information we have received recently by our trusted source, the official announcement is expected on September 18, 2025.
Key Specifications
Video 4K/60fps HDR · 4K/120fps
Gimbal Rotation 225° · True vertical
Transmission O4+ · up to 20 km (FCC)
Flight time Up to 36 min (smart battery) or 52 min (Plus battery)
4K/60fps HDR video (up to 14 dynamic stops in Auto) and 4K/120fps for slow-motion.
10-bit recording (H.265) and D-Log M and HLG modes for advanced post-production.
True vertical shooting + gimbal with 225° rotation for creative shots.
Nightscape Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing with LiDAR and vision sensors.

Flight time with smart (normal) battery: up to 36 minutes.
The Mini 5 Pro is arriving with a major upgrade in the core specifications compared to the Mini 4 Pro. It addresses one of the major drawbacks of the limited obstacle detection capability of the Mini 4 Pro. At the very same time, the low-light performance is also improved. Specifically, the high frame rate 4K 120FPS mode will make it a top pick for vloggers, travellers, and aerial photographers.
Why This Leak Actually Matters
Unlike the previous leak that we already have listed on our website, like the retail box images or the pricing rumours, this poster leak feels more polished and marketing-oriented. This directly means that DJI is nearing the finalisation process of their promotional materials. And also, the mention of blind pre-orders offline by Chinese sources is not a big surprise for me—that is what I am expecting as a kind of user behaviour at the time of the Mini 5 Pro announcement.
So if you are in China or connected to the Chinese markets, the dealers have already started taking deposits and building hype before the official reveal. – source
Obviously, all the leaks that we are publishing with consistency and analysing, it very much looks like the Mini 5 Pro is now DJI’s most capable mini drone ever announced. For those who love to check out all the details related to the DJI Mini 5 Pro rumours, that also includes the release date speculation and specification comparison.
The Leaked Release Timeline: September 18
The tipster has shared a snapshot of what appears to be an internal product memo from the DJI Camera Department, stating a “release date” of 18/09/2025 for the DJI Mini 5 Pro drones and accessories. SKUs are listed as “various,” with a memo link marked “HERE” (likely pointing to internal details).
And at the same time, since it’s an “internal product memo,” it could be pointing out the shipping date, and the announcement may happen a few days earlier.

So, finally, the DJI Mini 5 Pro is coming on September 18, 2025. The date has been confirmed. We have received an exclusive tip from a reliable source confirming that yes, it is coming on the very same date. This also aligns very closely with the wave of mid-September rumors that have been floated earlier and yep, there are some leaks with the websites pointing towards the September 16 announcement. Although DJI hasn’t made any official announcement yet, looking at the latest set of leaks related to the DJI Mini 5 Pro we have the recent box leaks, specification details, as well as pricing information, which sums up the entire picture of the upcoming DJI Mini 5 drone.
The Leaked Release Timeline: September 18
The tipster has shared a snapshot of what appears to be an internal product memo from the DJI Camera Department, stating a “release date” of 18/09/2025 for the DJI Mini 5 Pro drones and accessories. SKUs are listed as “various,” with a memo link marked “HERE” (likely pointing to internal details). And at the same time, since it’s an “internal product memo,” it could be pointing out the shipping date, and the announcement may happen a few days earlier.
Now I have added this line that, despite this coming from a trusted source who has shared the real pic of an internal memo, most of the websites like the Drone Radar or Quadro News are pointing towards the September 16 reveal. So there is a high probability that September 16 may be the announcement date and from September 18 the shipping will start. But again this is what we have right now, and we are sharing it with you—whatever the information we have, nothing hidden, full transparency.

Finally, the first image of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 camera leaked, and we have it too. In this article, we are going to discuss about the rumoured price of the camera, specifications and expected arrival timeline. The handheld gimbal camera is very much popular among content creators, and specifically in the video camera category, it has been grabbing almost 50% of the entire market share, specifically in Japan.
The Pocket 3 was announced back in 2023, and at the time of announcement, it raised the bar with a 1-inch CMOS sensor, 4K 120 FPS video recording, support of D-Log M and 10-bit options for having higher latitude in shadows and highlight areas. Well, this was our Pocket 3 or smoke way ahead of its time.
The first leaked image of the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 camera
In the first image of the Osmo Pocket 4 camera, we have a very clear view of the branding Pocket 4, obviously, it is being held by someone with a kind of green background. The good thing is that the form factor of the camera looks very similar and compact compared to the previous generation Pocket 3.
The same image is being surfaced and circulating in Chinese social media forums. From the image, the device looks like an early prototype stage when the image was captured, so the unofficial teaser confirms its development, but will it arrive in 2025, or will the announcement be shifted to 2026? We are going to discuss over that after the specification part.
Rumored Specifications
Core specifications, which are already floating over the internet across many websites, say the upcoming DJI Pocket 4 camera will have the same 12-megapixel sensor and 4K video recording up to 240 frames per second. The specifications also say the upcoming Pocket 4 will have a slightly larger display screen of 2.5 inches and will weigh approximately 190 grams.
Will Pocket 4 also get an 8K sensor in the near future?
The upcoming DJI Osmo Pocket 4 camera will likely have an 8K-capable 1-inch sensor inside it. Why 8K sensor inside the Pocket 4? Is it possible? DJI is already using dual 1-inch sensors paired with dual lenses in the recently announced Osmo 360 camera ($549), which is able to record 8K 30 FPS of dual stream video simultaneously, as well as dual 4K 120 FPS video. The Osmo 360 is not only recording these dual streams 8K or 4K 120fps, it is also processing inside it, merging it to create a perfect 360 video for the users, while maintaining overheating very effectively.
DJI Osmo Pocket 360 camera has already demonstrated the ability to integrate higher resolution 1-inch sensors in small compact devices. And DJI is known for progressive upgrades, for example, the sensor size from 1/1.7 inch was shifted and increased to 1 inch in Pocket 3, so that was a big improvement in the sensor size of the camera, resulting in excellent low-light videos. Now the next logical step is towards higher resolutions like 6K or 8K for the Pocket 4, specifically targeting professional content creators, solo storytellers. Giving an excellent option/alternative compared to the new generation iPhone 17 cameras.

Expected Price
The pricing of the DJI Pocket 3 camera at the time of its announcement was around $549 for the body itself, gimbal, and camera. But due to tariffs, the price of the standalone unit has now been raised to $799. Initial reports that we are getting suggest the announcement price of the camera will be somewhere around $599 for the base model.
Release Date
Based on the previous release cycles of the DJI Osmo Pocket series cameras and expected major updates inside the core specification, the announcement is expected in late 2026 or early months of 2027.
The recent leak related to the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 camera has revived the DJI 2025 rumors, which also include the Mini 5 Pro, which we are covering from its beginning, and also the Avata 3. All these rumored models show DJI’s aggressive push in compact cameras in recent months.
The DJI Osmo Pocket 4 camera is coming with revolutionary upgrades inside the core specifications which will make this camera a must-have for professional content creators, including YouTubers, Instagram high-quality reel makers, and TikTok creators.

So, this is a Bombshell Leak and it created a big surprise, now we have the retail box image of the DJI Mini 5 Pro, revealing the most advanced sub 249 gram Drone yet, or better to say best ever sub 249g drone built by DJI. The DJI next-generation Mini drone’s fresh image shows, Fly More Combo Plus bundle with the DJI RC 2 controller. So the release is about to happen, and it’s imminent; at the very same time, it also reveals key features of the upcoming drone.
if you are looking and searching for the DJI Mini 5 Pro Leak, specification, price, and release dat,e you have come to the right place, and we are going to exclusively break down everything in detail.
What the DJI Mini 5 Pro Retail Box Leak Reveals
The leaked photo shows a very sleek and white as well as genuine box, emblazoned with “DJI Mini 5 Pro” in bold lettering, and on the box, you can clearly see the DJI Mini 5 Pro image itself, featuring a kind of folded design with a camera gimbal, as we have shown you in our leaked images earlier. Most importantly, next to it is the DJI RC 2 smart remote controller, the remote control has an integrated display while showcasing a kind of scenic mountain landscape on the screen.
On the box, it has been very clearly written “FLY MORE COMBO PLUS / DJI RC 2 / BUNDLE FLY MORE PLUS (DJI RC 2)” which obviously indicates the retail box packaging is of a premium bundle package. Based on the DJI Fly More Combo that we have already seen in the past with several drones, the package includes extra/additional Intelligent Flight Batteries (including the rumoured Battery Plus for extended flight times), a two-way charging hub, spare propellers, and possibly ND filters for professional videography.
The inclusion of the DJI RC 2 remote controller, alongside the bright high resolution display screen, suggests the Mini 5 Pro is geared towards more serious creators and professionals, those who are looking for a sub-249 g Drone with professional capabilities and controls.
How This Leak Ties Into Previous DJI Mini 5 Pro Rumours
The retail box adds up to our extensive coverage over the DJI Mini 5 Pro at thenewcamera.com, where we have covered in detail everything related to the leaked animations, pricing, and specifications, as well as multiple images of the drone. Earlier reports suggested that Mini 5 Pro will feature a large 1-inch CMOS sensor and a massive update from the 1/1.3 inch Mini 4 Pro chip, as well as the capability to record 4K videos up to 120 frames per second, 5.4K videos up to 30 frames per second and superior low light performance with higher latitude in videos, for capturing details in shadows and highlights, for professional colour grading.

Why This DJI Mini 5 Pro Leak Matters for Drone Buyers
Now, with this authentic official box Leak, it confirms the DJI Mini 5 Pro as a game-changer Drone for the underweight category. It is a must-have Drone for travel photographers, vloggers and hobbyists. Why? Because in a sub 249 gram design while keeping the ultra-portability form factor, the Drone packs a large 1-inch sensor and LiDAR that could rival larger drones like the Mavic series. However, questions remain: Will it maintain the “less than 249g” label? The answer is obviously yes, since the image that we have published in our previous post clearly shows the C0 certification label that ensures no FAA registration or remote ID is required. But, you still have to take care of yourself and your Drone while you are adding the bundled Plus batteries, which will extend the flight time as well as add a little bit of weight.

The DJI Mini 5 Pro and the DJI Mini 4 Pro are the two most exciting under-250-gram drones in 2025. If you talk about the best drone in the under-250-gram category, then without doubt, these two are among the best, but which one is best among these two? As we all know, the Mini 5 Pro has already become very popular among drone lovers, although the drone is not easily available on Amazon.com or B&H Store, even after its announcement, due to some regulatory/ongoing ban issues, so in an in-depth comparison on TheNewCamera.com, we have tried to bring out the best possible comparison between the two with all of the available core specifications, and it will surely help you to decide the best DJI drone for 2025 without a doubt. So let’s jump into the comparison.
Overview: DJI Mini 4 Pro vs Mini 5 Pro
The DJI Mini 4 Pro is not new; It was announced back in September 2023. At that time, a 1/1.3-inch sensor and 4K 60FPS HDR video recording were more than enough, and omnidirectional obstacle avoidance. Overall, it was a great sub-249-gram category drone, which is still quite popular.
The new DJI Mini 5 Pro was officially announced on September 17, 2025. It does carry some of the biggest updates that we have ever seen in a sub-249-gram category drone, such as a large 1-inch sensor, the introduction of LiDAR for advanced obstacle avoidance tech, and up to 52 minutes of flight time while using the Plus battery feature.
If you compare the price of the drone right now, we are a bit surprised since most of the accessories whose prices are confirmed come at almost the same price range, with a slight price increase. We have already done the price comparison of these two drones in our previous article. Now, let’s have a look at the performance capability, flight capability, and the major differences between the features of both drones.

Deep analysis and specification comparison
1. Camera performance:
DJI Mini 4 Pro:The Mini 4 Pro uses a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor (48 MP) that delivers excellent 4K/60fps HDR video and 1080p/200fps cinematic slow-motion, with 10-bit D-Log M and HLG for professional colour grading. Its f/1.7 aperture and 2.4μm pixels perform well in daylight but struggle in low light, so the drone struggles to perform well at night. Yes, the noise is very clearly visible after ISO 3200, and when you are using the D-Log due to the sensor size limitation, the latitude we get in the video file is limited. With the help of the gimbal, it does support true vertical shooting, which is perfect for social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
DJI Mini 5 Pro: The camera of the Mini 5 Pro features 1-inch 50MP CMOS sensor with f/1.8 aperture, superior low-light performance (better noise control up to ISO 12800), 14-stop dynamic range, and 10-bit D-Log M/HLG color profiles,a major jump in terms of low light performance, as well as dynamic range when compared to a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor. DJI Mini 5 Pro supports 4K video recording at 120fps or even 5.4K/30fps, similar to what we see in the DJI Air 2S. A hybrid autofocus (phase + contrast) and 12-bit RAW could greatly enhance detail. The gimbal tilting up to +90 degrees allows unique upward shots, and onboard audio recording is an added option.
Analysis: All the features make the DJI Mini 5 Pro one of the best cinematic drones that fall under the 249-gram weight class.
2. Flight performance comparison
Mini 4 Pro: Offers 34 minutes (standard battery) or 45 minutes (Battery Plus), a 20 km range (OcuSync 4), and 35.8 mph max speed, which is really impressive. It can handle wind speeds of 23.9 mph with ±0.3 ft accuracy (vision) or ±1.6 ft (GNSS).
Mini 5 Pro:36 minutes with standard battery combo and up to 52 minutes of flight time with a Plus battery and a 25 km range (OcuSync 4+ with multi-beam). Vented motors as well as new propeller design suggest improved thrust, cooling, and less noise while hovering compared to the previous generation, potentially increasing wind resistance to ~26.8 mph.
Analysis: The Mini 5 Pro offers slightly extended flight time despite the fact the drone has now become more power-hungry after the update of the large one-inch sensor, improved image processor, and improved stability in windy conditions, making it ideal for adventurous creators. The Mini 4 Pro remains reliable but is outclassed here when compared with the new DJI Mini 5 Pro.
3. Obstacle Avoidance
Mini 4 Pro:The Mini 4 Pro uses omnidirectional avoidance with binocular vision sensors (0.5–18m range) and a 3D ToF depth sensor, enhanced by APAS for smooth navigation. It struggles to detect objects at night and uses an infrared sensor to help land perfectly.
Mini 5 Pro:LiDAR alongside omnidirectional sensors — from the leaked images, it’s very clear that the drone has dual front-facing LiDAR units for advanced obstacle avoidance as well as ActiveTrack 6.0 for better tracking.
Analysis: Introduction of LiDAR sensors inside the new DJI Mini 5 Pro makes it the best. The obstacle avoidance no longer remains limited like the Mini 4 Pro — it has become more advanced and safer for consumer use.
4. Intelligent Features
Mini 4 Pro: Already advanced at its time, the drone includes ActiveTrack 360°, MasterShots, QuickShots (Dronie, Helix, etc.), Hyperlapse, and Panorama modes. SmartPhoto enhances HDR, and Cruise Control maintains steady speeds.
Mini 5 Pro: Mini 5 Pro’s advanced set of features includes ActiveTrack 6.0, enhanced MasterShots, and onboard audio syncing with the DJI Mic. The Mini 5 Pro features AI-powered tracking improvements and a “48mm med-tele mode” for lossless zoom.
Analysis: Obviously, the Mini 5 Pro drone stands out with its updated core specifications. The most important upgrade apart from the camera itself is the advanced LiDAR obstacle avoidance syste,m as well as advanced AI-based tracking, making it a perfect choice for vloggers and social media creators.
5. Design and Portability
Mini 4 Pro: Folded (148 x 94 x 64 mm) and unfolded (298 x 373 x 101 mm), it’s compact and travel-friendly at <249g.
Mini 5 Pro (Rumored): Similar dimensions, maintaining <249g for regulation-free flying (C0 class, Open A1). Leaked images clearly show a larger camera module and vented motors.
Analysis: Both drones excel in portability, but the Mini 5 Pro’s advanced tech in the same weight class shows remarkable improvement in the engineering of the drone.
6. Price Comparison
Mini 4 Pro: Base (RC-N2): $759 USD
Fly More Combo: $999 USD
Accessories: Standard battery ($99), Battery Plus ($145), propellers ($9), ND filters ($55).
Mini 5 Pro (Rumored): Base: $799–$899 USD
Fly More Combo RC2: $1,099–$1,299 USD
