Looks like the CAA website has been updated. It no-longer talks about drones having different rules if they are “below 250g” and instead talks to, “drones and model aircraft below 250g, or UK0, UK1, C0 or C1 class”.
So UK0 and UK1 classes continue Over People after 2027 but C1 doesn’t 
Because C classes are EASA not UK classifications.

I know but the CAA continue to reference C classifications beyond 2025. My C0 drone currently has no end date from a CAA point of view;
@Crackerjack all EASA C-labeled drones become legacy drones from 1st January 2028 when that transition period ends. More information is available in the two videos available in the first post here: UK Class Marks and Remote ID: What you need to know before 1st January 2026
You can pickup the conversation over there 
If we could keep this thread on the topic of the DJI Mini 5 Pro, please

Order getting sent back, Yodel admitted to having continued system issues. Managed to get Very to give me an additional 20% discount on my next order for a total discount of 40%.
Might be better off getting another Mavic 4 Pro at this stage, lol

Just upgraded to the Mini 5 Pro from the Mini 3, only had a couple of flights so far but very very impressed! Night time photography looks brilliant and the RC2 is such a big upgrade from the previous remote.

Fun fact.
Dji fly app seems to have a maximum hyperlapse duration of 30 seconds or i think 25 minutes real time
The standard battery can handle that with about 8 minutes to spare as im shooting now.
I’ll keep it in the air after the hyperlapse until it auto lands and check airdata for total flight duration.
So as it seems to stand, unless the max hyperlapse either gets extended or some magic happens with extended batteries. They arent gona be needed for single shoot hyperlapse work..
Fairly cool imo
UPDATE: 34 new english minutes
Anyone who bought the flymore wondering what they can do with the central part, someone has designed a 3D box just for that space

That looks all neat n tidy n stuff but just by looking at it, doesnt it take up a fairly substantial percentage of the space?
It takes up the very space that the box that is there when you get it, and protects the props and filters and other things
The drone is in the central part, is yours not? 
This case is also large enough for me to rent out as a spare room

Props i can understand.
Filters have their own box but yeah. I guess having something ridged in the bag would stop the whole thing getting crushed accidentally.

Drone and batteries one side, controller the other and this big black box in the middle

For anyone wondering about the Mini 5 Pro and the whole “is it under 250g or not” thing, I asked DJI directly. They confirmed the Mini 5 Pro does not yet have an official C0 class mark in the UK because the CAA hasn’t rolled out the CX system.
Right now it’s treated the same as the Mini 3 Pro, a legacy sub-250g drone. That means as long as you’ve got your Operator ID on the drone and a Flyer ID if you’re flying it, you’re legal in the UK.
The ±4g tolerance in the spec sheet doesn’t change that, the CAA go by DJI’s declared weight, not your kitchen scales.
When the UK brings in updated regs (from 2026 onwards, with Remote ID and class marks), DJI have said they’ll issue updates/solutions so the Mini 5 Pro stays compliant.
Yeah knowing DJI they’ll do a firmware update & swear it’s knocked off a few grams off its weight

Yeah but also maybe it’ll stop weightgate?
That’s not what CAA said.
No, they absolutely do not.
Alex, please don’t believe a word DJI say
