When it comes to outdoor work, beating the heat, or camping and drone shoots, the one thing you can't do without is a power source. This time, DJI—the leading name in drones—has released a surprisingly compact yet powerful new portable power station: the DJI Power 1000 Mini.
Building on the YouTube video I released earlier, I'll explain in detail, from a field user's perspective, exactly why this model is a must-buy.

1. A 1kWh-Class Unit in a Genuinely "Mini" Size
The first thing that strikes you is just how compact it is. The capacity is a generous 1008Wh. With that much capacity, it's more than enough to keep our Human Air Conditioner and cooling systems running for hours on end.
Compared to the conventional "DJI Power 1000," the volume has been cut dramatically, and it weighs about 11.5kg. Being light enough to grab and carry with one hand makes loading it into a worksite or squeezing it into the limited space of a car dramatically easier.
2. A Perfectly Judged 800W Rated Output (1000W Max)
As for the output you're probably wondering about, it boasts a rated 800W (1000W maximum continuous output).
You might think, "Don't you need a 2000W-class unit?"—but this is actually the key point. A typical electric blanket, fan, laptop, or fast charger for a drone runs comfortably within 800W to spare. Push for more output than this and the unit simply becomes too heavy. You could call it the single best-balanced model for "weight versus power."
3. The "Only-DJI-Could-Do-It" Killer Features
This Mini comes with unique features you won't find on other portable power stations.
Built-in 100W retractable USB-C cable This is genuinely handy\! The tragedy of "I forgot the cable\!" is gone for good. You can pull it straight out of the unit to fast-charge your phone or PC, then smoothly retract it when you're done. It's a whole different level of mobility in the field.
Fast drone charging via the SDC port For DJI users, this is the obvious choice. With the dedicated cable, you can fully charge a drone battery in just about 30 minutes. No more lugging around a pile of spare batteries.
4. Overwhelming Cost Performance
And the most surprising part of all is the price. A 1kWh-class portable power station from a big-name maker usually runs around 100,000 yen, but this "DJI Power 1000 Mini" launched at a shocking starting price in the 50,000-yen range.
This isn't a case of "cheap because it's junk"—it's the trusted DJI brand at this price. With lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cells, it has a long lifespan and lasts close to 10 years even with daily use, so the cost performance is unbeatable.
5. Summary: Who Is It Best For?
After actually putting it through its paces, I felt the "DJI Power 1000 Mini" is ideal for people like these:
Outdoor work and event setup: As a power source for cooling equipment and PCs.
Drone pilots: For ultra-fast charging on site.
Car camping and camping: One unit covers a one- or two-night trip.
Disaster preparedness: As a reliable backup power source.
It's also an excellent match for the "solutions that make the outdoors comfortable" that CoolSmile champions. For a better sense of its real-world size and footage of it actually running home appliances, be sure to check out the YouTube video\!
