DJI to Launch Power 1000 Mini Globally on April 20
DJI Power 1000 Mini Set for Global Launch
DJI is set to launch its latest product, the DJI Power 1000 Mini, a compact portable power station, on April 20. This follows its initial release in China earlier this year.
Teaser and Release Date
Following a recent teaser for the Pocket 4, DJI shared a silhouette image of the Power 1000 Mini with the tagline “Power Beyond Size.” The global release date has now been confirmed for April 20, 2026.
Specifications and Features of the Power 1000 Mini
The Power 1000 Mini is designed to be smaller and lighter than its predecessor, weighing 11.5 kg (25.35 lb) and measuring 314 × 212 × 216 mm. This is a significant reduction compared to the Power 1000 V2, which weighs 14.2 kg (31.31 lb) and has dimensions of 448 × 225 × 230 mm.
Key features include:
- Telemetry display: Provides essential information about power usage.
- AC outlets: Standard outlets for various devices.
- USB ports: Dual USB-A ports and a USB-C port for charging.
- SDC port: For rapid drone charging, also supports solar panel input and high-power car charging.
Notable additions to the Mini include:
- Integrated LED light bar: Offers steady and SOS modes for emergencies.
- Retractable USB-C cable: User-replaceable, allowing for easy maintenance.
Trade-offs in Design
While the size reduction offers portability, it comes with some compromises. The Mini features a 1008Wh battery, slightly less than the 1024Wh battery of the V2. It has a maximum output of 1000W and an 800W sustained load, compared to the V2’s 2600W continuous output. Additionally, the USB-C output is capped at 100W instead of 140W. These limitations may affect users who require high-draw appliances or tools, for which the full-size V2 may be more suitable.
