Finding a Mini 5 for MSRP has been impossible for folks in the United States. 5% with Amazon Prime, frictionless returns, and free shipping makes this slick imo.

Community Reviews
The Mini 5 Pro stands out as a compact upgrade for aerial shooters, with the 1 inch sensor and strong image quality drawing the most excitement. It is also seen as a meaningful step up from the Mini 3 Pro, while the Mini 4 Pro already covers much of the same ground for less. The main concerns are US warranty and service uncertainty, plus customs and availability issues for units shipped from China. Remote ID and sub 250 gram registration rules also look murky depending on battery setup and region, making this a better fit for buyers who can navigate the gray areas.
Common Questions (5)
US service may be limited, and China-shipped units have reportedly been held in customs for months or turned back. Some buyers still report DJI replacing defective drones for a fee, but parts and reissues can be unavailable in practice.
It can be under 250g only with certain battery setups, but some regions including the US may still see it broadcasting Remote ID. If you fly recreationally and the drone is under 250g, registration is generally not required; if you register it anyway, Remote ID rules apply.
It appears to be a gray-market import with no USA warranty. That matters because DJI service and replacement support may not be available in the US for units not sold through DJI's US channel.
The main upgrade cited is the 1-inch sensor, while the Mini 4 Pro already has strong transmission and the Mini 5 Pro's other changes may be small for many users. It is most compelling if you want the camera upgrade or can reuse existing controller and batteries.
DJI Refresh Care may not be addable after purchase on a new account, so it is safest to assume you need to buy coverage at checkout or use a third-party plan. Amazon's Asurion protection plan is mentioned as an alternative.

These have no USA warranty correct? Probably worth the risk for some, DJI drones very reliable.
