DJI's Mini 5 Pro is well up to the manufacturer's usual standards. In our review of the DJI Mini 5 Pro we awarded it 4.5/5 stars, praising its raft of features, including a 50MP 1-inch sensor camera, advanced obstacle avoidance and more.

Now, it's at its lowest-ever price and $500 off from Amazon. This Fly More Combo bundle includes a remote with an LCD screen, three batteries for nearly two hours of flight time, and more.

The DJI Mini 5 is loaded with features, including a massive 50MP camera.

In short, this is a powerful, versatile drone, and the extras included in this bundle (3 batteries, extra propellers, a charging hub, a remote with a screen and more) make it a real steal at $500 off.

In our review of the DJI Mini 5 Pro, we remarked that it "redefines sub-250g drone possibilities thanks to its 1-inch sensor, rotating camera, Omnidirectional Vision Sensing System and some impressive video functionality", and that verdict still stands. In short, if you're looking to capture stunning aerial video or static shots, this is the drone for you.

Even factoring in that its starting price has been slightly spiked, you really can't go wrong with this DJI Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo. You get nearly two hours of flight time, spread across three batteries, and it's easy to transfer the captured video to your phone. If you've never flown a drone before, you might be better off with one of the best beginner drones, but for everyone else, this is a significant saving on a powerhouse of a drone.

Key features: 50MP 1-inch rotating camera sensor, 4K video, up to 108 minutes flight with three batteries, omnidirectional obstacle avoidance, 6.18x3.74x2.68 in / 157×95×68 mm folded, 2.4 miles / 20km (FCC), 6.2 miles / 10km (CE/SRRC/MIC) transmission range, 8.81 oz / 249.9g weight.
