patiently waiting for DJI to announce its next-generation flagship camera drone. It has hit the FCC database, leaks have begun sharing all the latest tech, but there’s been no word on even a rumored release date. Whenever it might happen, here are five things we’re hoping are true about the Mavic 4 Pro.
What’s a new drone generation without a bump in the battery specs? Very early on in the Mavic 4 Pro’s leaks, we’ve seen that the new drone might have a massive battery increase, from 77 Wh to 95.3 Wh. This is just slightly below the 99.5 Wh limit that the Matrice 4 saw. It is also below the FAA unrestricted limit to bring on an aircraft, which is 100,
This, paired with a newly designed body like the Mini 4 Pro, which increases both flight time and obstacle avoidance performance, could shatter the current max flight time of 43 minutes
The Air 3S increased the internal storage from the standard 8 GB to a much more usable 43 GB. While that’s not what you might have in a dedicated microSD card, it is much better when you just need a little extra space.
Leaks have stated that an increase in internal storage is coming with the new Mavic 4 Pro. On the Cine lineup, a potential doubling of up to 2 TB of internal storage for all that ProRes goodness. On the Pro side, I would expect at least a match with the Air 3S, but personally, I’d like to see 64 GB. An increase like that might make the need for microSD cards a thing of the past for small
What used to be separate drones like the Mavic 2 and Mavic 2 Pro, have now become one. The Mavic 3 pioneered the multi-caera drone system, a feature that only DJI still has in consumer drones. What you’ll find on the Mavic 3 Pro is a 3x and 7x zoom camera alongside the M4/3 Hasselblad main camera. On paper, that made for an impressive upgrade; in the real world, that 7x, 177mm equivalent camera was hard to find use cases for. And while the 3x, 70mm equivalent, was much better, it still was a bit too much
If the leaks are true, we’ll potentially see two new focal lengths for the Mavic 4 Pro: 2.5x, 50mm equivalent, and 6x, 145mm equivalent. If you’re even a part-time photographer or videographer, that 50mm focal length should have gotten you excited. A standard for most films
