UK Question: Is the Mini 5 Pro regarded as sub 250g…….

[CJG]

…….or do we have a problem?

Apologies if this is repetition, but most comments I have seen are US based.

I was all set to order one, and then I heard about the 249g + tolerance issue so I have put the brakes on my purchase.

Which is really sad: I have the Mini 3 Pro and I have been waiting ages for the M5P!!

Same issue as US. No 3% tolerance like in the EU.

I’ve seen comments that the newest batches of M5P are definitely sub 250g and/or changes in the UK regs next year might help?

Is there any truth in this? To be honest I’m struggling to understand/keep up!!

If you need 249g, get the Mini 4 Pro with the regular Mini 4 Pro battery. You cannot use your Mini 3 Pro batteries and stay under 249g.

Blame Brexit! The CAA set a LIMIT, not a target weight with a tolerance.
