Even before the official launch, extensive details about the DJI Mavic 4 Pro have been leaked, as DroneXL reports. The successor to the successful Mavic 3 series brings with it numerous improvements to the camera, flight performance and AI-supported navigation. With these features, DJI is once again positioning itself at the top of the semi-professional drone market and setting new standards for aerial photography and videography.
- 4/3-inch Hasselblad camera with improved 48 MP sensor confirmed.
- Significantly longer flight time of up to 46 minutes.
- New omnidirectional obstacle detection system with AI support.
- Optimized O4 transmission system for a range of up to 20 km.
Improved camera technology for the highest demands
The heart of the DJI Mavic 4 Pro will be the newly developed 4/3-inch Hasselblad camera, which offers a resolution of 48 megapixels. DJI is thus continuing the tradition of high-quality aerial photography. According to the leaked information, the focus is particularly on improvements in color reproduction, dynamic range and low-light performance – areas in which the predecessor was already strong, but where DJI now wants to go one better.
The camera can shoot in 5.7K at up to 60 frames per second and supports a 10-bit D-Log M color profile for maximum flexibility in post-processing. The telephoto camera has also been upgraded and now offers higher optical quality for zoom shots, which should open up new possibilities for creative film projects from a great distance in particular.
New technologies for greater safety and range
Another highlight of the Mavic 4 Pro is the new omnidirectional obstacle detection system, which is now based entirely on artificial intelligence. This system is designed not only to detect objects earlier and more precisely, but also to automatically initiate complex evasive maneuvers to reliably prevent accidents. This function should represent a significant increase in safety, particularly in urban or wooded environments.
DJI is setting new standards in terms of range with the new O4 transmission system: a maximum distance of 20 kilometers is now possible under optimal conditions. In addition, there is optimized video transmission in 1080p at 60 fps, which is particularly interesting for live streaming or remote monitoring. Thanks to a new battery design, the maximum flight time has been increased to an impressive 46 minutes – an increase of around 15 percent compared to the Mavic 3 series.
In addition, the Mavic 4 Pro will be equipped with an improved ActiveTrack 6.0 function, which enables even more precise object tracking, even with complex movement patterns or in difficult lighting conditions.
Conclusion
The leaked information on the DJI Mavic 4 Pro suggests an extensive upgrade in almost all areas. Better camera technology, more flight time, safer navigation and a stronger connection promise an overall package that should delight both professionals and ambitious amateur pilots. The official launch is expected in the coming weeks and the price is rumored to start at around 2,199 US dollars.
