The Mini 5 Pro is described by DJI as an “all-in-one 1-inch large CMOS mini camera drone” with a foldable, ultra-light body.
It features a 50 MP 1-inch CMOS sensor, aperture f/1.8. This is a significant step up for a drone in this weight class.
Supports vertical / portrait shooting (thanks to a gimbal with 225° roll rotation) making it well-suited for social media formats.
Obstacle sensing: “Nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensing” including forward-facing LiDAR, 3D infrared sensor and full 360° vision system for enhanced safety especially in low light.
Weight: DJI lists the take-off weight (standard battery) at 249.9 g (±4 g due to manufacturing tolerances).
Flight time: Up to 36 minutes under ideal conditions (standard battery). With the optional “Plus” battery (not available everywhere), up to 52 minutes.
Camera/Video capabilities:
4K resolution, up to 60 fps HDR.
4K up to 120fps for slow-motion (in certain conditions).
10-bit video output, supports D-Log M and HLG colour profiles for post-production flexibility.
Transmission and range: According to specs, up to 21 km with standard battery in ideal conditions (Europe spec) for the standard battery.
Storage: Internal storage (42 GB) plus microSD support.

Why it matters for your work (videography / documentary / social media content)
Since you’re involved in filming, editing, directing and content production (especially documentaries/social media for clients), these features are particularly relevant:
The 1-inch sensor gives you better image quality, especially in lower-light conditions (sunset, dusk, farming landscapes, aerials) — this matters for dramatic visuals.
The 10-bit video and D-Log M/HLG profiles give you more post-production flexibility (grading, matching to other camera footage) — useful since you already edit in Premiere Pro.
Vertical shooting capability (via the 225° gimbal roll) means you can create social-media optimized content (Instagram Reels, TikTok) without awkward re-framing.
Lightweight (≈250g) means more flexible regulatory/transport options in many regions (though check local laws — weight slightly over 250g could trigger different rules).
Advanced obstacle sensing + LiDAR give safer aerial operation — helpful when shooting in more challenging environments (e. g. , near trees, farms, uneven terrain).
Good flight time and range mean you can cover wider scenes / get aerial establishing shots with fewer battery swaps.
