Weigh Your Mini 5 Pro, Free Field Card

Is your DJI Mini 5 Pro a microdrone, or does it need registration?

DJI lists the Mini 5 Pro at 249.9 g, but many units weigh a few grams over 250 g, and every one is well over with the Plus battery. Transport Canada has made it clear that pilots are responsible for confirming their drone's weight. This free 2-page field card shows you how to weigh yours correctly and tells you exactly what your result means.
