DJI Mavic 4 Pro brings a newly redesigned triple-camera infinity gimbal with 360° roll axis rotation and up to 70° upward tilt, 28mm main 100MP 4/3″ camera with 6K 60fps or 4K 120fps video, second 70mm medium tele 48MP camera with up to 4K 120fps, and a third 168mm tele 50MP camera with a larger sensor and up to 4K 100fps video at 10-bit H.265 and D-Log. Featuring longer range, up to 51 minutes flight time, better obstacle avoidance, faster battery charger, and a new DJI RC Pro 2 remote controller with a 7” adjustable screen, the Mavic 4 Pro is available now starting at €2,099.

DJI has just dropped a major announcement – a new generation of the company’s flagship foldable drone, the Mavic 4 Pro. Roughly two years after the Mavic 3 Pro announcement, the successor model brings a handful of innovative features and some notable spec bumps. Let’s take a quick look at the new Mavic 4 Pro flying camera.

Here’s our Mavic 4 Pro review first look

For the full review article, head over here.

DJI Mavic 4 Pro drone

Throughout the article, I will compare some new specs to the Mavic 3 Pro, as I think it is important to see what has changed. Firstly, the drone gained a bit of mass – the takeoff weight went up from 958g/2.1lbs (Mavic 3 Pro) to 1,063g/2.3lbs. In the EU, the drone will therefore again fall into the C2 class.

The good thing is that the maximum flight time is now longer – it went up from 43 minutes (Mavic 3 Pro) to 51 minutes with the new 95Wh battery in the Mavic 4 Pro. The drone’s top speed is 90 kph (56 mph) in FCC mode, and the maximum range is 41km (25.4 miles) in FCC mode. Thanks to the DJI O4+ transmission system, the drone offers 10-bit HD video transmission at a distance of up to 30km (18.6 miles, in FCC mode).

The drone’s body has been redesigned, and the camera gimbal now sits all the way at the front, which brings certain benefits (see detailed information about the camera system further in the article). Because the Mavic 4 Pro now features the large gimbal at the front, the front-facing LiDAR sensor for obstacle sensing has been moved to one of the front arms.

Talking about obstacle sensing, the Mavic 4 Pro has six low-light fisheye sensors with a sensitivity of 0.1 lux for omnidirectional obstacle avoidance at speeds up to 18 m/s in low light. This ensures precise drone positioning. ActiveTrack 360° can keep a subject in focus even if partially obscured by bushes or if they are standing on a bridge. The drone also detects vehicles up to 200m away with directional awareness.

On top of the MicroSD card slot, the Mavic 4 Pro also includes high-speed internal storage. Regarding the size of the storage, the drone comes in two versions:

• The standard version of the drone features 64GB (available storage space is approximately 42GB)
• The Mavic 4 Pro 512GB Creator Combo has 512GB (available storage space is approximately 460GB).

Infinity gimbal with triple cameras

Two years ago, the Mavic 3 Pro first debuted with a triple camera system, bringing three different focal lengths in one gimbal. Today, the Mavic 4 Pro improves on this concept in multiple ways. First of all, the new gimbal-stabilized camera module, which DJI calls “infinity gimbal”, resembles a sphere, and it can now freely rotate 360° around the roll axis.

This means the camera can natively capture vertical video on full sensors by physically rotating the whole module by 90°. Additionally, the Mavic 4 Pro can now capture clips with a rotating camera or the so-called “dutch angle” shot. Finally, because the gimbal is now at the very front of the drone, it can also provide vertical tilts up to 70° upward.

DJI Mavic 4 Pro camera module includes the following three cameras:

• 28mm main Hasselblad camera, 100MP 4/3” CMOS sensor, variable aperture f/2.0-f/11, focus from 2m to infinity. (For reference, DJI Mavic 3 Pro has 24mm 20MP 4/3” CMOS with f/2.8-f/11)
• 70mm medium-tele camera, 48MP 1/1.3” CMOS sensor, fixed aperture f/2.8, focus from 3m to infinity. (The medium-tele camera specs did not change compared to Mavic 3 Pro)
• 168mm tele camera, 50MP 1/1.5” CMOS sensor, fixed aperture f/2.8, focus from 3m to infinity. (For reference, DJI Mavic 3 Pro has 166mm 12MP 1/2” CMOS with f/3.4, so this is an improvement in every way)

For stills shooting, every camera supports pixel-binning for a quarter resolution (25MP, 12MP, or 12.5MP), which comes with a better low-light performance and faster burst rates. The image sensors also feature dual native ISO on all three cameras, according to DJI.

Video features – D-Log on all three cameras, up to 6K60 or 4K120

The main 4/3” Hasselblad-branded camera with Natural Color Solution (HNCS) supports video recording in 6K (6016 x 3384) up to 60fps or 4K up to 120fps. DJI claims the main camera features up to 16 stops of dynamic range.

The 70mm medium tele camera records video in up to 4K 120fps and should have up to 14 stops of dynamic range, according to DJI.

Finally, the 168mm tele camera achieves up to 4K 100fps, and DJI claims it has up to 13 stops of dynamic range. I am curious how these numbers hold up during our lab test.

All cameras support standard video recording in 24, 25, 30, 48, 50, and 60fps. All higher frame rates are recorded as slow-motion video (slowed down and saved at a lower base frame rate).

Additionally, all cameras feature 10-bit D-Log, D-Log M, and HLG profiles to ensure consistent, gradable footage across all focal lengths. That is the first time DJI included their D-Log profile in a smaller sensor (sub-4/3”) camera.

When it comes to video codecs, the drone supports one of the following modes:

• H.264 8-bit 4:2:0 (90 Mbps bitrate) – only for FullHD resolutions.
• H.265 (HEVC) 10-bit 4:2:0 (180 Mbps bitrate)
• H.264 ALL-I 10-bit 4:2:2 (1,200 Mbps bitrate) – only available on the 512GB Creator Combo model.

Faster charging, wireless transfer

 DJI’s new parallel charging hub can fully charge a battery in just 50 minutes, or all three batteries in 90 minutes with DJI’s new 240W power adapter. It also doubles as a 100W power bank, suitable for topping off a laptop or camera battery while in the field. The charger also lets you transfer leftover power from several low-charge batteries into one with a higher remaining capacity.

With QuickTransfer, you can wirelessly offload footage via Wi-Fi 6 at up to 80MB/s without even taking the drone out of the bag. You can wake the Mavic 4 Pro via the DJI Fly app and start the file transfer.

DJI RC Pro 2 remote controller

To accompany the Mavic 4 Pro, DJI launched a new RC Pro 2 remote controller. It features an adjustable and rotatable 7-inch high-bright Mini-LED display. The cool thing is that after rotating the display 90° for vertical use, the drone’s camera rotates automatically too.

The dual antennas ensure reliable video transmission, and the integrated collapsible design enables the RC Pro 2 to power on when extended. Furthermore, it offers up to 4 hours of battery life, 128GB of built-in storage, and can record audio with the built-in mic or when paired with the DJI Mic. The controller also features a MicroSD slot, USB-C, and a full-size HDMI port.
