DJI Mini 5 Pro - Video Specs

In the new model, DJI have finally

managed to integrate a 1 in SIMOS sensor

into a lightweight model. A major

achievement unthinkable only a few years

ago.

This is a crucial update compared to the

one over 1.3 in sensors of the previous

lightweight model, the Mini4 Pro, and

should allow an excellent performance in

low light and in high dynamic range

situations and deliver footage with

optimal detail.

The field of view is equivalent to 24 mm

and the aperture is f.8 slightly smaller

than the mini4 pro.

This should not cause any issues as the

larger sensor should be capable of

collecting more light.

The maximum video resolution is 4K with

frame rates of up to 120 frame per

second for super slow motion. an

improvement over the 100 frames per

second of the Mini4 Pro.

Camera specs are the same as the wide

angle lens of the Air R3S, including HDR

recording with 14 stops of dynamic

range, thanks to the dual native ISO

fusion, which works by recording each

frame at two different ISO values,

resulting in an underexposed and an

overexposed one. The two frames are then

blended to increase the dynamic range.

This dual native ISO fusion only works

when recording footage in auto exposure

mode.

I always prefer to use manual exposure

to avoid shift luminosity when the light

changes, but in high dynamic range

situations, it is worth switching to

auto exposure to take full advantage of

the ISO fusion. I still suggest always

using manual white balance to avoid

shifting color when the luminosity

changes. I find the optimum value with

this model to be around 5300 Kelvin.

Unlike the R3S, the camera 5 Pro can

rotate vertically to shoot footage in

portrait mode, maintaining a 4K

resolution. Users active in social media

will appreciate

The gimbal also offer continuous 225

degrees roll rotation for dynamic and

creative camera movement. The gimbal

rotation can also be applied to

intelligent flight modes like quick

shots, hyperlapse, spotlight, and

waypoint.

Like the previous model, the Minifire

Pro has omnidirectional obstacle

sensors.

A forward- facing lighter has been added

to detect obstacles in low light. There

is also a powerful light that can be

switched on when bringing the aircraft

home at night. I find it very useful.

The announced battery life is 36

minutes, a slight improvement on the 34

or the Mini4 Pro. This is handy when

shooting hyperlapses.

If the badges allows for it, I suggest

purchasing the Flymore combo with the

two extra batteries and the fast

charging hub as charging a battery

mounted on the aircraft is painfully

slow. You can find the updated prices

for all the different configurations in

the description below. It is an

affiliate link, so I get a small

commission in case of purchase, which

help the channel.

The algorithm of the Okusync 4 video

transmission has apparently been

improved for stronger anti-inference

feeds.

I have tried it in the area with strong

interference where I perform my signal

transmission tests and so far I have not

encountered any disconnections.
