This Mini 5 Pro deal centers on a brand new, sealed drone at a sharp AliExpress price, with several reports of units arriving legit and unopened around the low 600s. The appeal is the drone itself and the chance to get it locally shipped or with free returns within 90 days. The main cautions are AliExpress aftersales support, which can be slow or costly, and the bundle is basic with only one battery and a simple controller. US buyers also need to watch registration and import issues, since many units weigh over 249 grams and may not be treated as a true sub 250 gram mini.

  • The drone has reportedly arrived brand new and unopened from AliExpress around $600 before taxes.

  • FAA registration for drones over 249g is described as a $5 fee for three years with a short labeling step.

  • A reported DOA battery issue on an AliExpress order was handled with a refund and a priority replacement shipment.

  • FAA recreational flying rules can be satisfied without a license for drones under 55 pounds in the US.

  • AliExpress purchases can become unusable when returns are not handled, which can leave buyers stuck with the product.

  • The Mini 5 Pro may weigh 250g or more, which can require FAA registration and TRUST before legal recreational flying.

  • AliExpress after-sales support and returns for an expensive drone may be limited unless the unit is defective.

  • AliExpress resolution can take a long time when any issue happens, turning support into a prolonged process.

You don't need a license to fly any drone under 55lbs in the US recreationally. Over 0.55 lbs (249g) you are supposed to be registered which costs $5 for 3 years. As you say, it's not like they are going to hunt someone down for not registering, it may only matter if something goes wrong. Flying commercially (i.e. you sell photos, make money from YouTube from your footage, etc) requires a license and I have heard of the FAA acting on that but it's probably few and far between especially these days
Everyone should know as of recently (last few months), everything has changed as far as drone enforcement is concerned. The days of "no one is watching" are gone. Now is to time to get your sh*t together and get into compliance. Don't say we didn't warn you.

I would trust the Korean sellers on eBay over these guys. And this only comes with drone, ghetto controller, and 1 battery.

There is no way I'd ever buy anything from aliexpress for something over like $30. Their customer support is abysmal now. You are either stuck with the product or you'll have to take your chances sending it back overseas on your dime, even if it arrives unusable.
It says free return in 90 days. They will give you a free label then it goes back to one of their local warehouses.

Yes, definitely legit. Second time buying a Mini 5 Pro from Aliexpress. It was brand new, not open box, and $602.42 before taxes.
