DJI Mini 5 Pro or Mini 4 Pro Price Hikes: What’s Real, What’s Hype

DJI Mini 4 Pro and DJI Mini 5 Pro on pedestals under the headline “DJI MINI PRICE HIKES?” with a rising red chart and $, €, £ symbols on a dark background.

Today’s official MSRP for Mini 4 Pro on DJI’s store is $759 for the base kit, $1,099 for the Fly More Combo with RC 2, and $1,159 for the Fly More Combo Plus. Street prices can dip below MSRP at big retailers during promos.
Mini 5 Pro rumors point to pricing similar to Mini 4 Pro in Europe and the UK, not a jump. U.S. pricing is not confirmed.
Why U.S. prices could still rise: ongoing trade actions and security reviews that could add new costs or limit availability. These are active policy stories, not just forum chatter.

Current DJI Mini 4 Pro pricing snapshot

DJI Store MSRP
- Mini 4 Pro (RC-N2): $759
- Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo (RC 2): $1,099
- Mini 4 Pro Fly More Combo Plus (RC 2): $1,159.
Recent street prices
- Best Buy list price for the Fly More Combo with RC 2: about $1,099.99 when in stock.
- Deals have dropped below MSRP at times, for example recent coverage of all-time-low pricing. Treat these as promos, not permanent resets.

Bottom line right now: There is no official across-the-board hike on Mini 4 Pro MSRP. If you see higher numbers, it is typically retailer markup on limited stock, or bundles with extras.

DJI Mini 5 Pro: what the leaks say about price hike

European leak roundups point to a Fly More Combo at €1,129, roughly in line with Mini 4 Pro’s EU bundle pricing. UK chatter puts the base around £979. U.S. numbers are unannounced. Timing rumors point to September. Treat all of this as unconfirmed until DJI posts official pricing.

Translation for buyers: If these leaks hold, a DJI mini price hike is not expected at launch outside the U.S. Any U.S. change would likely come from policy or supply dynamics, not DJI suddenly raising Mini prices just because it is a new model.

Why U.S. prices could still climb even if MSRP stays “the same” elsewhere

Trade and national-security actions
Washington opened a Section 232 national-security probe into imported drones this summer. Outcomes can include new tariffs or restrictions, which would raise landed costs for Chinese-made models like DJI.
Executive orders and market exits
Recent orders and policy moves have already nudged DJI’s launch strategy. DJI’s flagship Mavic 4 Pro skipped a U.S. retail launch despite shipping in other countries, citing the policy climate and costs. If similar pressure hits the Mini line, U.S. buyers could face higher prices, reduced supply, or both.
Retailer behavior under uncertainty
When inventory is tight, some U.S. retailers increase prices above MSRP or focus on higher-margin bundles. That shows up to you as a “price hike,” even if DJI’s own MSRP did not change. You can see how official MSRPs and street prices diverge today.

Should you buy now or wait?

Buy now if:

You find the Mini 4 Pro at or below MSRP with the RC 2 controller, and you need sub-250 g today for work, weddings, gyms, or real estate. That combo is excellent value and often discounted.

Wait a few weeks if:

You want to judge Mini 5 Pro’s imaging upgrades against the likely similar price. Even small improvements in sensor or obstacle avoidance can be worth waiting for if the price does not jump.

Plan for a price bump if:

New U.S. actions add costs or constrain supply. If that happens, expect higher street prices first, then potential MSRP changes later. Keep an eye on policy headlines before you pull the trigger.

Smart shopping checklist

Check DJI’s official price first to anchor expectations, then compare to Best Buy, Amazon, and B&H. If a retailer is above MSRP without extra value, wait for stock to normalize.
Watch EU and UK listings as leading indicators for Mini 5 Pro pricing. If Europe holds flat against Mini 4 Pro, a U.S. hike would likely be policy-driven, not product-driven.
Screenshot any promo price and buy from authorized dealers. It helps with price matching and warranty support.
Budget for batteries. Plus batteries add flight time but may push weight past 250 g in some regions. Verify the pack type in any bundle before you buy.

FAQ

Is DJI already raising Mini 4 Pro prices in the U.S.?

Not officially. DJI’s posted MSRP is unchanged. Some retailers fluctuate with inventory and promotions, so you will see prices move up or down.

Will Mini 5 Pro cost more than Mini 4 Pro?

Leaks suggest similar bundle pricing outside the U.S. U.S. price is unannounced and could be affected by trade policy.

Could policy make these drones more expensive or harder to buy in the U.S.?

Yes. A live national-security review of drone imports and recent executive actions have already shaped DJI’s U.S. launches. That is the biggest wildcard to watch.
