Mass
249 g
Class mark

DJI Mini 5 Pro

Fly More Combo with standard Intelligent Flight Battery and DJI RC 2

Mass
249 g
Class mark
C0

Best fit: Camera step-up

DJI Air 3S

Standard Intelligent Flight Battery

Mass
724 g
Class mark
C1

Why it is here: The documented dual-camera system offers a distinct camera route when the heavier C1 operating fit is acceptable.

Trade-off: The 724 g configuration brings materially different qualification and separation considerations.

Best fit: Maximum camera flexibility

DJI Mavic 4 Pro

Standard Intelligent Flight Battery with RC 2 bundle

Mass
1063 g

Why it is here: The documented three-camera configuration provides the broadest camera hardware in this set.

Trade-off: Its C2, 1,063 g configuration is a poor default unless the buyer can use the resulting operating path.
