Officially, the DJI Mini 5 Pro isn't supposed to take to the skies until next week, but some retailers already have it in stock and are flying it. An initial unboxing, hands-on and first flight video can now be found on YouTube, and in one European country, the new mini drone with a 1-inch camera and LiDAR sensors is already available to order in three combo packages.

There is still no official teaser for the DJI Mini 5 Pro, which is set to launch next week. Whether the launch will take place on September 16, as Jasper Ellens has repeatedly opined, or rather on September 17 or 18, as some other leaks have recently suggested, DJI is yet to give an official announcement of the launch date, which may indicate further delays.

In contrast, however, there are several hints from the community on Reddit or on X indicating that retailers are already fully stocked. For example, a DJI retailer in Cyprus was discovered with DJI Mini 5 Pro packages already available for order. Specifically, a standard package can be ordered there for €819, a Fly More Combo with DJI RC-N3 for €1,029 and a Fly More Combo with DJI RC2 for €1,159, all of which appear to be in stock.

First videos on YouTube

Perhaps even more exciting are the videos on YouTube uploaded by a dealer from India. You can watch the full 15-minute video at the bottom of the article, which is in Hindi rather than English. You can use the auto-translate function to display a translation in several languages, but the YouTube channel also offers five short clips from the video, each showing a brief unboxing, the first flight, and other details such as the ND filters, the camera and the LiDAR sensors.

Update: September 14, 2025, 3:50 PM - Replacement for YouTube video

The original video, along with five short YouTube shorts, has been set to private and is no longer publicly visible. However, we have found a replacement, which can be seen here:
