I got a Mini5 pro just before the end of the year and had no trouble activating it and the object avoidance makes it much less likely to let me do dumb things like hit walls or even my own head...
Mini 5 Pro is a great drone. Comes with obstacle avoidance.
Anyone purchased a Mini 5 pro from Best Buy? Do they offer insurance?
I love the DJI mini 5 pro - but honestly, given the responses from the NO Service Team at DJI - I feel very at risk and wish I had learned this 2 weeks ago - when I could have returned it to Amazon.
I am up in Canada and heading back to LA tomorrow. I bought an extra Mini 5 Pro fly more combo. It’s brand new and still boxed and sealed up. No risk $1700 https://preview.redd.it/8v5em946e2tg1.jpeg
My local law will require insurance for drone over 250g. So, if my Mini 5 Pro is over 250g then, I’ll return it and get Mini 4 Pro instead.

I got a Mavic 3 pro and the mini 5 pro and I gotta say the 5 pro is really really good! Since you do social media I recommend the 5 pro. It’s also less of a burden to carry around with you on travels.
Mini 5 Pro. Se é pra ir de upgrade é Mavic 4 Pro, Air 3S ficou no meio do caminho sem muito destino, acredito que até as vendas demonstrem isso
It’s a much better backup in that scenario. I prefer the vertical capability of the Mini 5 Pro as I do a lot of social content.
The Mini 5 Pro has been registered with the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which is a strong sign that DJI plans to sell it in the United States.
