DJI Mini 5 Pro - Features from Recent Models
View Video Transcript
0:00
Recently, DJI has introduced new
0:03
functionalities in versatile models like
0:05
the Neo and the Flip. Some of them could
0:08
trigger down to the upcoming
0:11
Mini5. From the images, we notice two
0:13
pairs of frontal obstacle detection
0:15
sensors. The inner one will probably be
0:18
based on lighter technology, which
0:21
stands for light detection and ranging.
0:25
Leather sensors are present in the
0:27
Air3s, the Flip, and the new Mavic Pro.
0:30
They can detect fine obstacles like
0:33
grass, bare branches, and wires, even
0:36
low light conditions. DJI's new approach
0:39
to obstacle detection appears to be
0:41
based on integrating lighter technology
0:44
with traditional optical sensors.
0:47
DJI seems to be particularly concerned
0:49
about safety as shown by the
0:51
introduction of fixed propeller guards
0:53
in the Neo and the Flip. They are useful
0:56
when flying, tracking or vlogging at a
0:59
low altitude close to the target or when
1:02
filming indoors, protecting not only the
1:05
vehicle itself, but also surrounding
1:08
people in case of
1:12
collisions. In the Flip and the Neo, the
1:14
propellers are quite bulky and reduce
1:16
aerodynamics and are resistant to
1:18
frontal winds at high
1:22
altitude. One of the two leaked images
1:24
of the Mini 5 Pro shows guard covering
1:27
the propellers, similar to the ones on
1:29
the Flip, although not as bulky. They
1:32
appear to be perforated for better
1:34
aerodynamics. We don't know if these
1:37
guards will be fixed as in the case of
1:39
the new and the flip or removable and
1:42
simply sold as an
1:43
accessory. Based on this image, some
1:46
YouTubers speculate the DJI could adopt
1:48
for the Mini4 Pro an approach similar to
1:50
the Flip, a versatile model with fixed
1:53
propeller guards and some sort of
1:55
autonomous flying capabilities.
1:59
It is technically possible, but it is
2:02
unlikely that DJI takes a similar
2:03
approach for the miniseries, which is
2:05
perceived as a model specializ in
2:08
videography and
2:10
photography. From the other photos, some
2:12
leakers noticed some cutouts on the
2:15
motorbell, indicating a more powerful
2:17
vendor motor for extra speed and
2:20
improved wind resistance.
2:24
The new model will maintain the ability
2:26
to rotate the camera to a vertical
2:29
orientation for reals and photos in
2:31
portrait
2:33
mode, maybe with an increase upward
2:37
tilt. The weight will certainly remain
2:40
below the crucial 250 g
2:45
threshold. Another rumor functionality
2:47
is audio recording like in the Neo.
