DJI has finally unveiled its new flagship in the world of consumer drones., the Mavic 4 Pro. After an intense campaign of leaks and multiple rumors, the device has been officially announced and comes with important new features in the field of aerial imaging and flight engineering.
This new model strongly focuses on versatility., primarily thanks to a completely redesigned triple-camera system and an innovative 360-degree rotating stabilizer that promises to revolutionize the creative possibilities on every flight.
A camera system powered by Hasselblad
The Mavic 4 Pro features a 100-megapixel main camera developed by Hasselblad, mounted on a 4/3 CMOS sensor with an adjustable aperture of f/2.0 to f/11. This sensor is compatible with HNCS (Hasselblad Natural Color Solution) technology, which improves the accuracy of the color captured by the drone. DJI claims this feature helps maintain high color fidelity even in challenging lighting conditions.
The set is completed with two telephoto lenses: one with a 48 MP sensor and a focal length of 70 mm, and another with 50 MP and 168 mm. All three lenses allow HDR recording. at resolutions up to 6K/60 fps (on the main camera) and 4K/60 fps on the telephoto lenses. Slow-motion shots can also be captured at 120 fps in 4K.
Infinity Gimbal: Full rotation for unlimited captures
The great innovation of this Mavic is the so-called "Infinity Gimbal", a unique stabilization system that allows for 360-degree rotations. This stabilization system enables shooting from unexpected angles, including upward shots at 70 degrees, which significantly expands the visual range in the middle of the action.
This design is also geared towards facilitating more stable and smooth recording in demanding environments, offering a very attractive tool for aerial video and photography professionals.
Efficient, safe and longer-lasting flight
Autonomy has been one of the aspects improved compared to previous models.Thanks to its 95 Wh battery, the Mavic 4 Pro can stay in the air for up to 51 minutes in ideal conditions. Its optimized structure also allows it to reach speeds of up to 90 km/h and cover distances of up to 41 km.
To ensure safer flights, they have been integrated six fisheye sensors These offer omnidirectional obstacle detection, even in low-light environments. They are complemented by advanced navigation algorithms that allow the drone to automatically return to its base even without a GPS connection, thanks to real-time visual mapping.
Transmission and control: OcuSync 4+ and new RC Pro 2 controller
Another interesting leap is found in the transmission system. Powered by DJI O4+ technology, it's now possible to send 10-bit HDR images up to 30 km away. This improvement is especially useful in urban environments or areas with high levels of interference.
Along with the drone, the new RC Pro 2 controller, which includes a 7-inch Mini LED display with a brightness of up to 2.000 nits, ideal for operation even in direct sunlight. This remote control features 128GB of internal storage, an HDMI port, a built-in microphone, and up to 4 hours of battery life. It's also compatible with other models such as the Air 3 or Mini 4 Pro.
Other notable features
One of the most striking features is ActiveTrack 360°, which allows precise tracking of an object even if it's partially obscured or constantly changing surroundings. This technology is especially useful for sports footage or dynamic scenes.
Also included are tools such as 'Lens Focus', 'Free Panorama', RAW stacking up to five frames and native dual ISO blending, all designed to offer professional image quality.
Available versions and prices
The DJI Mavic 4 Pro can be purchased in three different configurations through the official store:
- Standard version (€2.099): Includes the drone, RC 2 controller, battery and 64 GB of storage.
- Fly More Pack (€2.699): Add two extra batteries, charging hub, power adapter and shoulder strap.
- Creators Pack (€3.539): Includes RC Pro 2 controller, 512GB SSD storage, parallel charging hub, 240W adapter, high-speed cable, and other accessories.
In addition, DJI is expected to launch a soon electronic ND filter as a standalone accessory, although its availability has been delayed for unspecified technical reasons.
After months of leaks and teaser images, the Mavic 4 Pro is now a reality. Its new recording features, extended flight capability, and robust and versatile camera system position it as a A very complete option for advanced users and aerial content professionalsAll this without losing sight of flight safety or long-distance transmission options.
