HakaSushi Bolsters September 2025 Launch Rumor

Jasper Ellens, a key DJI expert at DroneXL, initially sparked excitement with his rumor that the DJI Mini 5 Pro would launch in late summer or September 2025. HakaSushi, a well-regarded leaker on X, strengthened this prediction by stating, “I have received reliable info that is indeed scheduled for SEPTEMBER,” aligning with Ellens’ timeline.

Anticipated Features of the DJI Mini 5 Pro

While the release date confirmation steals the spotlight, leaks have also hinted at the Mini 5 Pro’s potential features. Sources suggest the drone will retain its sub-249-gram (0.55-pound) weight, keeping it exempt from FAA registration for recreational use in the U.S. Rumors point to a one-inch camera sensor, a significant upgrade from the 迷你 4 Pro’s 1/1.3-inch sensor, promising better image quality and low-light performance. Additionally, the inclusion of 激光雷达 for obstacle avoidance—potentially a first for ultralight drones—could enhance safety, with flight times possibly extending to 50 minutes, up from the 迷你 4 Pro’s 34 minutes. A 25-kilometer (15.5-mile) range and vertical shooting modes are also speculated, catering to content creators.

Industry Context and User Impact

The Mini 5 Pro’s confirmed September 2025 launch positions DJI to maintain its dominance in the compact drone market, especially as competitors like Autel 机器人公司 push their Evo Nano series. The timing aligns with the holiday shopping season, likely boosting sales for DJI and accessory markets—think extra batteries and prop guards—which could see a 10-15% uptick, based on historical Mini series launches. Regulatory-wise, the sub-249-gram design ensures compliance with lenient drone laws in the U.S. and EU, though pilots must still navigate the FAA’s Remote ID rules, fully enforced as of 2025. For users, the Mini 5 Pro promises to be a game-changer for travel-friendly aerial photography, with advanced features packed into a lightweight frame.

DroneXL’s Take

At DroneXL, we’re thrilled to see HakaSushi back Jasper Ellens’ rumor, making the Mini 5 Pro’s September 2025 launch feel more real than ever. As HakaSushi advised, “Fly your Mini 4 a lot this summer—you won’t keep it when you learn more about Mini 5 Pro.” We couldn’t agree more! It’s like holding onto your old flip phone while the latest smartphone is just around the corner—September can’t come soon enough. With potential upgrades like LiDAR and a beefier camera, the Mini 5 Pro might just be the ultimate wingman for your next adventure.

Stay tuned as we keep our eyes peeled for more leaks—maybe even a sneak peek at the price, which could hover around $900 USD based on the 迷你 4 Pro’s starting point, although President Trump’s tariffs are likely to increase this number significantly.
