The DJI Mini 5 Pro includes a Dynamic Home Point feature that automatically updates the Return-to-Home (RTH) location in real-time as you move with your controller. This feature addresses a critical challenge for mobile drone operators who shoot from moving vehicles, boats, kayaks, or while hiking, where the original takeoff location becomes irrelevant.dronexlyoutube
How Dynamic Home Point Works
The Dynamic Home Point feature continuously tracks your controller's GPS position and updates the drone's home point accordingly. When enabled, the home point indicator on your flight screen changes from yellow (static) to blue (dynamic), visually confirming the feature is active. As you move away from your original takeoff location, the home point moves with you automatically, maintaining your current position as the RTH destination.youtube+2dronexl
Enabling the Feature
You can activate Dynamic Home Point through two methods:
Via Settings Menu: Tap the three dots to access settings, navigate to the Safety tab, scroll to "Update Home Point," and select "Dynamic Home Point" at the top of the screen. Confirm by tapping "OK".linkedin+1youtube
Via RTH Button: Tap the Return to Home button on your screen, then select "Update Home Point" at the bottom, which brings you to the same configuration page.dronexlyoutube
RC2 Controller Compatibility Update
Initially, Dynamic Home Point was only available when using the RC Pro 2 controller with the Mini 5 Pro and Mavic 4 Pro. However, on September 25, 2025, DJI released a firmware update that made this feature compatible with the standard RC2 controller. This update eliminated an artificial barrier for pilots using the more affordable controller option.facebook+2youtube
RTH Behavior with Dynamic Home Point
When RTH is triggered (manually, due to low battery, or signal loss) with Dynamic Home Point enabled, the drone returns to your current controller location rather than the original takeoff point. Importantly, the drone will hover at the dynamic home point rather than automatically landing. This design choice reflects GPS accuracy limitations—typically within 2-5 feet—which means the drone cannot reliably identify safe landing zones at dynamically updated locations. The hovering behavior gives you final control to assess conditions and land safely, whether you're under tree cover, near obstacles, or on uneven terrain.youtube+1flylitchi+2
Practical Applications
This feature proves particularly valuable for:
Water-based operations: Kayaking, canoeing, or boating where you're constantly movingyoutubedronexl
Vehicle tracking shots: Following subjects in cars or other moving vehicleslinkedin+1
Hiking and wilderness: Moving through forests or terrain where you may be far from the original takeoff locationdronexlyoutube
Active tracking scenarios: Situations where you need to follow subjects over long distances while maintaining safe RTH capabilitiesyoutube+1
The Dynamic Home Point feature eliminates the need for constant manual home point updates—a distraction that could result in missing shots or losing situational awareness during critical moments. Combined with the Mini 5 Pro's omnidirectional obstacle sensing and forward-facing LiDAR, this feature enhances flight safety and operational flexibility for mobile drone operations.heliguy+2
