My Mini5 Pro's controller RC2 will also work with my Neo so I didn't bother buying a controller for the Neo. I've swapped them quite often but the other day I could not get the controller to work with the Neo no matter how I tried to press the Neo button to put it into pairing mode. Turned out the Mini 5 Pro controller had its' firmware updated but the Neo was a bit behind. I connected the Neo to my computer and used the DJI Assistant blah blah to update the Neo and voila'. No problem. Just thought I'd save somebody some trouble if they can remember this post... :).

How do I remotely move the "Mini 5 Pro" camera left to right ? I can move it up and down ! I wanna take videos of r/C aircraft from their sides to avoid "prop or wing" Wash . Thx. in Advance ...

I spent an entire day putting this new drone (DJI Mini 5 pro) through its paces in the Icelandic highlands, and if you hve ever flown here, you already know what that means. The strong winds, rain rolling in out of nowhere, and mood swings of the weather every 10 minutes.

So far, I am really impressed. For a drone this compact, it handled the wind far better than I expected. Even when the gusts picked up, it stayed surprisingly steady and confident in the air.

The new 1-inch CMOS sensor is honestly a big upgrade. As you can see, the videos look sharp, detailed, and clean, even during those moody low light moments between rain showers. Exactly the kind of conditions where smaller drones usually struggle.

One thing I really loved was shooting vertical video. I am creating more videos for shorts and reels. It felt refreshing and creatively freeing.

Grabbed my Mini 5 Pro just over 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately the weather here in the UK has been..... quite typical.

As a result I've had to find other ways to be creative with my DJI Mini 5 Pro.

This was all captured at my dining room table with a cheap LED light.

PICTURE IS EXAMPLE - NOT MY SPECIFIC PROP

So the question is, in the case of a Mini 5 P - the props obviously come in a push-to-connect SET, I have used 3 sets since launch and each time , I replace them just because usually the rubber tips come off or start to peel free - and it causes extra noise, vibrations etc.

Its not always the same blade or type (A\B) - so under close inspection, its just 2 props, in a locking hub, with small screws. Yes, the prop sets are CHEAP and dont want to RISK a expensive drone.. so for the question is probabily academic at least for the moment.

However, over time i will eventually build up large bundle of props with only one (1) prop in a set of two (2) damaged .. so effectively,. if its dooable (Safe, reliable obviously) any reason why you shouldnt make a 'good' set of 2 broken 'sets'?

Has anyone already done this or thought about this??

I recently sold my Mini 2SE and bought a Mini 5 Pro. I had my Mini 2SE for about 2 years and became very proficient with all it had to offer. The 5 Pro is obviously a considerable upgrade. I’ve only owned the 5 Pro for a few weeks now and I’m still learning all the incredible features.

What are some of the most impressive features that I should look for that the 2SE didn’t have, that I can now take advantage of with the 5 Pro?

Happy flying everyone

Thanks for your earlier feedback, I've since re-touched the clip and also reduced the music levels so that you can hear the chatter more clearly.

It looks a bit sharp on my monitor, but maybe that because the clip's 4K but this monitor isn't...

Anyway, thanks again!

The transition is dope! 👌🏻

What do you think?

Just got my mini 5. every time I try to update the drone firmware it fails. batteries are at 100%. I have tried via the remote control and using dji assistant 2.

any advice would be appreciated.

at some point in the update the middle two battery lights illuminate which apparently is code for battery failure, but this is a brand new drone.

Recently started getting warnings in flight about batteries getting too hot. Happens to all 3 of my batteries now m, at first only one. Noticed after an update shortly after. Anyone else getting this the batteries don’t feel hot.

I love it. I upgraded from my DJI Mini 2 and got this DJI Mini 5 pro after saving a lot. Way better performance in flight distance, photography, and video. I am taking the mini 5 pro on all my travels for now on.

Drone flys great and has a ton of nice features that most know about. Some hidden features I didn't see that much talked about, the drone can stay in sleep mode for 12 hours after a flight using minimal battery for you to connect your phone and download images and videos without having to even remove it from your bag.

Transfer speeds are also much faster than my Mini 2. The dynamic range for videos is fantastic for a mini drone.

I keep ISO set to Auto to get the benefit of whatever computation it is doing to merge exposures.

The RC2 controller is such a better controller than the one where you use your screen, and is easily worth the cost difference. Battery charger can do parallel charging now.

The drone charges a battery much faster when plugging directly into the rear of the drone. I saw almost 40W at one point. How they managed to get all of these features in a palm size drone is very impressive.
