Description
The Mini 5 Pro is a flagship ultra-lightweight drone featuring a 1-inch 50MP CMOS camera with an f/1.8 aperture for superior stills and video, especially in low-light conditions. It incorporates nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensing with forward-facing LiDAR, a gimbal capable of 225 rotation for vertical and creative shooting angles, and offers 4K video up to 60fps with 10-bit color. Despite its powerful imaging and sensing technologies, the drone weighs just under 250 grams, enabling easier regulatory compliance and flight near people.
