What’s going on with the controller mine freezing up ever now and then
This all started after the last update

Is there a way to pre plan a flight?
Like mark a spot to automatically fly to, take photos then auto return to home from there?
Thanks

Honestly, this feels like a pretty big disappointment from DJI. A lot of us (myself included) expected the Mini 5 Pro to at least maintain some of the compatibility that the Mini 4 Pro already had. Instead, it seems like we bought a new generation of drone with surprisingly limited compatibility.

I’d really love to fly the Mini 5 Pro with the Goggles 3. The hardware is clearly capable of so much more, so I genuinely don’t understand what’s stopping DJI from supporting this.

Would be cool if DJI could give us a hint: if there’s a technical or business reason behind this decision? I think a lot of us would appreciate even a simple comment explaining why.

For reference, here’s DJI’s official compatibility list: https://support.dji.com/help/content?customId=en-us01700010143&spaceId=17&re=IE&lang=en

Got my DJI mini 5 Pro recently and have been loving it.

However the combo I got didn’t come with a bag and I’m looking for one on Amazon.

Is it necessary to have a hard shell box or will a shoulder bag do? I feel like for traveling the hard shell case would be a lot more difficult to take but I’ll get it if it’s necessary to protect the drone properly.

Appreciate any insight

Hey guys,

​So I recently bought a Mini 5 Pro and tried a night flight for the first time yesterday. I launched the drone from my yard and took some night shots of the city I live in. However, I faced a pretty serious issue that nearly caused my drone to crash multiple times.

​At first, I flew the drone around my yard to check the LiDAR front-facing obstacle avoidance. The obstacle avoidance worked fine as far as I can tell—it detected all trees and bushes perfectly. However, I noticed that the drone had a hard time holding its position when I wasn't giving any joystick inputs. I didn't pay much attention to this at first, but after finishing the shots, I pressed the Auto Return-to-Home button and on its way back, it somehow flew almost straight up backwards into a wall. I had to activate Sport Mode to get it to stop, otherwise it would have crashed.

​After that, I tried flying around my yard a bit more, and the drone really couldn't hold its position—it kept drifting left, right, up, and down in every direction. And not just a little bit, but more like 3 meters or so. After a few seconds, I always had to switch to Sport Mode, which made the drone stay in place.

​So my question is: Has anyone experienced a similar issue? Is this normal? The drone had a GPS connection—probably not the best since I was in the city and I didn't check signal strength, but it was connected. I also experimented with the auxiliary LED: when it was turned on, things improved slightly, but with the auxiliary LED off, it was absolutely horrible.

Hello everyone,

I have 2 DJI drones that I fly; a Matrice 4E that is used exclusively for work purposes, and a DJI Mini 5 Pro that I picked up a little while ago for personal use. The Matrice very nicely sorts its files into folders depending on what flight session they are captured in, which I can easily identify based on its DJI_YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS format. By comparison, the Mini 5 seems to just add all new pictures and videos into one folder labeled DJI_001.

My question is, can I make the Mini 5 automatically create & sort picture / video data into new folders like the Matrice does?

Thank you in advance!

this might be a very stupid question, But I'm not afraid to ask it. I've been Flying my DJI Neo For a while now as a sort of boom camera for social media shoots. Because we want to upgrade our productions, It was time for Drone with a decent sensor. That's why we got the Dji 5 Mini pro.

I'm still learning all the functions and the moves, But my biggest anxiety is losing sight of the drone. I get pretty nervous when I can see or hear it anymore.

I was wondering, How do I get over this? Do I practice using just the remote? Do I trust tech and press return to home button when I panic? Or is this just a case of doing it to get over your fears?

H Have you experienced this? And how did you handle it?

Hi,

I still had the original Mavic Pro from 2016, so I thought it would be interesting to see how much DJI drones have actually evolved in 9 years.

I put it head-to-head with the Mini 5 Pro, comparing image quality, flight experience, real-world battery life and a few other things.

What surprised me most is that the old Mavic isn't as completely outdated as I expected in some areas, although the difference in size and modern camera capabilities is pretty crazy.

It's in French, but there are side-by-side shots and comparisons that should be easy to follow even if you don't speak French.

I'd actually be interested to hear from people who owned the original Mavic Pro: what was your first DJI drone, and do you think today's Mini series represents as big a leap as the specs suggest?

Thanks
