The DJI Mini 5 Pro is the first drone under 249 g to carry a 1-inch sensor - a spec that used to mean stepping up to a 600 g-class drone. It closes most of the image-quality gap to the Air 3S while staying in the nano weight class, where no pilot licence is needed. Here are both Fly More Combo options sold in India, the full spec sheet, and an honest read on who should buy it versus who should look elsewhere in DJI's range.
DJI Mini 5 Pro price in India
HobiTech lists the Mini 5 Pro in two Fly More Combo configurations - there's no single-battery unit sold on its own, since almost nobody buying a travel drone wants to be caught out with one battery's worth of flight time.
Both include the DJI RC 2 screen controller. Current prices are on each product page — DJI India adjusts them from time to time, so we keep them in one place rather than repeating them here. The difference between the two comes down to what's in the box - see the full breakdown below before you pick one.
What's in each Fly More Combo
Fly More Combo:
Fly More Combo Plus:
The standard Combo packs three Battery Plus units, which gives the longest total airtime per charge cycle. The Combo Plus mixes two standard batteries with one Battery Plus and adds a gimbal protector, a screwdriver and a parallel charging hub for faster field swaps. Check the Fly More Combo and Fly More Combo Plus product pages for current stock before you decide.

Why the 1-inch sensor and LiDAR matter
A 1-inch sensor is normally what you'd expect to find on a drone in the Air-series weight class - around 595 g and up - not on something that folds into a jacket pocket. Larger sensors gather more light per pixel, which shows up as better dynamic range, cleaner shadows, and noticeably less noise once the sun goes down. The Mini 5 Pro brings that sensor size under the 249 g nano threshold for the first time in DJI's mini lineup, so no pilot licence is needed (you still register it on DGCA's eGCA portal) - see our DGCA drone rules guide for the specifics that apply to your use case.
It also adds a forward-facing LiDAR sensor alongside the usual omnidirectional vision system - LiDAR keeps working reliably in low light and near-dark conditions where pure vision-based obstacle sensing tends to struggle, which matters if you fly around dusk or indoors.
How Mini 5 Pro pricing compares to the rest of DJI's lineup
From lowest to highest price, with current prices on each product page:
- DJI Lito 1
- DJI Neo 2 Fly More Combo
- DJI Lito X1
- DJI Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo (DJI RC 2)
- DJI Air 3S Fly More Combo (DJI RC 2)
The Mini 5 Pro sits well above the Neo 2 and Lito series in price, but those drones use smaller 1/2" and 1/1.3" sensors respectively - the jump buys meaningfully better image quality, not just a bigger name. Compared with the Air 3S, the Mini 5 Pro costs less and stays in the nano class, but gives up the Air 3S's second tele camera and its slightly longer 45-minute flight time. Read our full Air 3S price and review if you're weighing the two against each other.
Who should buy the DJI Mini 5 Pro
Based on what the hardware actually does well:
If budget is the main constraint and image quality is secondary, the Lito X1 or Neo 2 cost significantly less. If you regularly need optical zoom for a second angle without changing position, the Air 3S is the better tool even at a higher price and weight. Not sure which fits your shooting style?

Frequently asked questions
Does the DJI Mini 5 Pro need DGCA registration in India?
Yes. Every drone in India must be registered on DGCA's eGCA portal to get a Unique Identification Number (UIN). At under 249 g the Mini 5 Pro is a nano drone, so you don't need a Remote Pilot Certificate (pilot licence) to fly it. Where you can fly still depends on the airspace zone, so check our DGCA drone rules guide for the details that apply to your situation.
What's the difference between the two Fly More Combo options?
The standard Fly More Combo ships with three Intelligent Flight Battery Plus packs for maximum total airtime. The Fly More Combo Plus ships with two standard batteries and one Battery Plus, plus a gimbal protector, a screwdriver and a parallel charging hub. Pick based on the accessories you actually need.
Does the Mini 5 Pro come with warranty and support in India?
Yes. HobiTech is a DJI specialist retailer based in Bengaluru with an in-house repair lab, genuine GST invoicing and pan-India insured delivery - see our warranty and repair guide for what's covered.
DJI Mini 5 Pro vs Air 3S - which should I buy?
Choose the Mini 5 Pro if portability and the nano class (no pilot licence needed) matter most. Choose the Air 3S if you need a genuine optical tele camera and don't mind the extra weight. Full comparison in our Air 3S price and review.
