Community Reviews

The Mini 5 Pro stands out as a compact drone with strong camera and flight performance, and the controller can be used without keeping a phone connected after initial activation. It also works offline for flying, with only occasional prompts to reconnect and reverify a DJI account login. The main drawbacks are that this listing includes only one battery, AliExpress pricing can vary by account, and order support may be thin if something goes wrong. A capable pick if you want DJI features without relying on constant internet access.

Common Questions (4)

  • AliExpress can show different prices for different accounts, including new-user pricing, and this listing may be one of those cases. It may also be a scam listing, and if there are order problems AliExpress may leave you without support.

  • It can fly without ever connecting to the internet. After initial activation, the controller can be used on its own, though occasional prompts may ask you to reconnect and reverify your DJI account login; skipping phone connectivity also means no firmware updates.

  • This listing includes only 1 battery. That matters because the base package is otherwise the drone-only setup, so buyers wanting longer flight time need to budget for extra batteries or a higher bundle.

  • A DJI OEM warranty is not expected just because you buy in the US. A third-party service plan or insurance is the practical backup if you want coverage for repairs or accidents.

Well yes, that's what I meant. I don't want to be locked out if DJI's servers ever go offline. I don't want to be forced to go online to periodically reverify. I don't like that they can remote brick it if they like.

If you meant there's a way to disable that and keep it completely cut off from DJI's servers (while still being able to apply updates, etc...) then I'm all ears.
After the initial activation (reasonable, Apple does the same) you can control the drone exclusively using the controller without your phone ever connecting again, you won't get any firmware upgrade for obvious reasons if you choose this path.

Is there any risk of this being blocked at US customs? Wasn't DJI recently banned?

The only issue I had was that one of the screws for the propellers came cross threaded. Besides that, it flies really well so no complaints. I decided to keep it since I honestly don't need the camera quality of the Mini 5 Pro. It's already really good on the X1.

Did somebody actually order and receive the drone from this seller? I am worried of it being a scam.

I find it nearly identical, very much identical. It's been said that DJI produces or directly licenses Skyrover drones. I have had mine since December with the 3-battery special package, and I've not had a single issue. I'm now looking to buy the newly released controller, so I no longer have to use my phone. DJI uses different labeling; even though the remote is similar, only the GUI is different.

My main reason for purchasing X1 was due to pricing, and knowing that DJI plays a part was a win for me.
