Amazon Prices Drop on DJI Mini 5 Pro and Mini 3 During October Prime Day Sales
The DJI Mini 5 Pro Fly More Combo Plus is on sale for $1,029 at Amazon, marking a $130 price drop from its standard $1,159 list price, Mashable reported. This discount brings the premium drone to a record-low price during the October Prime Day shopping event.
Shoppers initially anticipated sparse drone promotions after early sales yielded no notable discounts. However, price cuts emerged across multiple DJI models as the event officially launched, affecting both entry-level devices like the DJI Neo and high-end packages.
What the DJI Mini 5 Pro Package Includes
The discounted bundle features the DJI Mini 5 Pro drone alongside the DJI RC 2 controller and three batteries, each offering up to 52 minutes of flight time. The kit also supplies spare propellers, a charging hub, and neutral density (ND) filters.
The aircraft itself packs a 1-inch CMOS sensor that records 4K/60 fps HDR video. Its gimbal supports a 225-degree vertical rotation designed for native vertical content creation on platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels. For flight safety, the unit relies on night-scene omnidirectional obstacle sensing and ActiveTrack 360° to track subjects through complex urban environments and tree cover.
Contrasting Discounts on the DJI Mini 3
DroneXL recorded separate price cuts on older hardware during the same two-day event running through Wednesday, October 7. The base DJI Mini 3 equipped with the RC-N1 controller dropped to $269 for Prime members, matching its previous June low and sitting $150 below its $419 list price.
Meanwhile, the Mini 3 Fly More Combo paired with the screen-equipped DJI RC sold for $600, representing a $119 discount off its $719 list price. Unlike the Mini 5 Pro, the Mini 3 features a 1/1.3-inch sensor with a gimbal that rolls 90 degrees for true vertical shooting at 4K/30, but lacks forward or rear obstacle avoidance sensors.
DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Bundles See Price Drops
The Drone Girl tracked concurrent price drops on creator gear, noting that the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Mount Bundle fell to $375.69 from its typical $441.99 price. The Osmo Pocket 3 Vlog Bundle, which bundles the camera with the DJI Mic Mini, dropped to $406.00.
