DJI Mini 5 Pro retail box leak shows bundle with DJI RC 2 smart controller

A retail box image circulating on social media appears to show the DJI Mini 5 Pro packaged with the DJI RC 2 controller featuring a built‑in screen, reinforcing ongoing leak coverage from DroneXL’s DJI Rumors hub and reporting from Jasper Ellens. The box art clearly presents the aircraft alongside the RC 2 and labels the configuration as a “Fly More Combo Plus (DJI RC 2),” indicating at least one launch bundle will pair the sub‑250 g drone with an integrated‑display controller, and additional batteries for better and longer time in the field.

Retail packaging details

The photographed box displays DJI Mini 5 Pro branding and a prominent product render of the RC 2 with its integrated display next to the folded aircraft, matching prior leaked product imagery and packaging descriptions tracked by DroneXL. The front face includes an on‑box runtime callout reading “52 mins x 3,” a typical Fly More‑style reference that suggests three batteries targeting up to 52 minutes each under ideal test conditions, which would mark a notable endurance bump versus earlier Mini‑series kits.

How the RC 2 bundle changes operations

Including the DJI RC 2 in a primary Mini 5 Pro combo removes phone tethering, speeds preflight by simplifying connections, and improves outdoor visibility with a bright, integrated screen. For pilots flying in strong sunlight or in quick‑turn commercial scenarios, an all‑in‑one controller can reduce setup steps and mitigate mobile‑device thermal throttling that can affect live view and cache recording.

Context from recent leaks

The packaging image aligns with DroneXL’s recent stream of Mini 5 Pro reporting that has highlighted product art, animation clips, and pricing traces associated with multiple bundles. Coverage has also pointed to a sub‑249 g class airframe with camera and sensing upgrades, positioning Mini 5 Pro as a more capable ultralight aimed at both recreational creators and professional operators who need a compact platform with extended flight endurance.

What to watch next

Retail boxes typically surface late in the pre‑launch cycle, often just ahead of official specification sheets and price confirmations. If this image reflects final packaging, expect formal details on camera specs, transmission, obstacle sensing, and regional bundle differences to follow, including U.S. pricing in USD and clear runtime disclosures in both minutes and approximate miles/feet for range and altitude where applicable.

DroneXL’s Take

If verified, the RC 2‑in‑box approach signals DJI is prioritizing a streamlined user experience for the Mini 5 Pro alongside rumored imaging and endurance gains. That strategy would track with recent DroneXL reporting on animation and pricing leaks and echoes the traction seen when prior DJI drones launched with screen‑equipped controller options.

The key questions now are whether the 52‑minute figure translates to real‑world gains across all battery types, how the bundle pricing will compare in the U.S., and whether the imaging stack meaningfully leapfrogs the current Mini line.
