Mavic 4 Pro & Cine Coming Soon. New Details!

The DJI Mavic 4 Pro and Cine models are rumored to release later this year! In this video, we dive into the leaked specs, new features, and why this could be DJI’s biggest drone of 2024. Let’s explore everything we know so far!

Finally some leak news that isn't click bait garbage

Never heard of you before... just subscribed. Great detail, informative, GOOD AUDIO, sweet-spot duration. Thanks.

Your numbers of everything are mind boggling- brilliant! New sub.

Really appreciate the info and speculation. I've been flying and filming professionally with a Mavic 3 Classic for the last year and a half. For the most part, it does everything I need. However, when trying more advanced techniques for post-processing, I've been eagerly anticipating the next generation of Mavics.

I've wanted to get my hands on a Mavic 3 Cine or Pro, but in my mind it makes more sense to wait for the next gen. Hoping that it's released Q1 2025, since if we haven't gotten it by now, I'm not sure it will be coming this year.

Thoughts on if the mini 5 Pro will come out and what specs we could see?

[janplexy]

Boosting megapixels without making the sensor larger, can only result in worse low light performance.

I have a mini 3 pro and a mavic 3 pro cine, this covers most options. I'd love a mini 5 pro that would record in Prores.

Panasonic/Lumix now has a new custom designed MFT sensor that is pretty incredible. It's got a rare dual gain conversion architecture that gives it about 13 stops of dynamic range in 6k. It can also capture 120p in 4k. This sensor actually beats some full frame sensors in dynamic and also slightly beats Sony's current APS-C sensor in DR. (FX30 and A6700). I'm guessing that Lumix could sell this to DJI to help cover the R&D cost to build this chip.

Hmm, Air 3 is on sale again. Maybe they'll release Air 3S?

Still rocking my phantom 4 I need to upgrade?

[josephkraig]

When I got my Phantom 4 pro I didn't think there could be a better drone camera. I don't do video, well mostly no video, just stills.
I have good cameras, currently a Nikon D850, Z-7 and Z-9. I know what good pictures look like. I have never expected a really good picture with any of my drones but, my Mavic 3 pro blows me away. With Photoshop I can remove all the noise from the 166mm camera and boost the saturation on the 70mm and 166 but I usually have to do very little with the 24mm. With my Nikons I can crop and still have plenty of resolution, I can't do that too much with the Mavic 3 Pro 166 or 70 but I actually can successfully do some cropping on the 24mm. The dynamic range on the 166mm camera is not great so I always use the feature of taking 3 pictures one stop above and one stop below and combine them in PS and it works great. One of my best shots of Tsuchinshan-ATLAS was from the 70mm. I was able to get a wide open 5 second shot that looked great, 5 seconds. That was as long as I could get and not have star trails. It was a little windy and still was able to hang motionless for 5 seconds. It was like the drone was attached to a pole.
If the Mavic 4 Pro comes out with a higher resolution larger sensor for the 166mm camera I will be very tempted. I do not however imagine it will be any cheaper than the 3Pro.
A lot of photographers say you don't need much resolution. Don't listen to that nonsense. Being able to crop with a high dynamic range high resolution image is a wonderful luxury and can make you look like a really good photographer.

I fly two Mini 3 Pro's (as they are the first drones I got when I started my business in October of '22 and wanted a backup drone as well, though if I would have waited until late November I would have gotten one Mini 3 (non-pro) instead of the second pro model, no real regrets though), Air 3, and Mavic 3T. I'm curious if DJI will be releasing enterprise versions of the Mavic 4 series and what upgrades they may have. I also wonder if after the release of the Mavic 4 if they will finally release the SDK for the Mavic 3 series (non-enterprise models) and maybe for the Mini 4 Pro as well. I haven't upgraded either of my Mini 3 Pros to Mini 4 because of the lack of SDK support. Sometimes for mapping missions I rather risk my cheapish Mini 3 Pro (found used easily around $500) as opposed to my spendy Mavic 3T (spent $7, 500 on the kit with extra batteries, 100w charger, and RTK module), especially when centimeter level accuracy isn't needed on orthomosaic construction progression maps.

Wtf is with the ban in America over Photography drones... How ridiculous

[geor]

I literally save up for a Mavic 3 pro, but after hearing news about a Mavis 4 pro, I honestly can't wait.

[kinocchio]

What about release dates … ??? If air3s is oct 15, no way they will release anything till next year

[jasonlee]

There is also a New RC Plus 2 hit the FCC about a week ago, which will most likely be supported by these drones if they are the mavic models JV31/32.
The Mavic 4 is shaping up to be a beast of a drone, that gimbal and battery size are going to put this drone well above the EU drone limits for C1 labels, which may limit some sales.
It will NEVER come in cheaper then the mavic 3 series, the best we can hope for is that it stays the same, unless they cut some corners but I cant see it.

The cameras I am eager to hear about, it would be great to get both telephotos to 1" but unlikely, although I don't think they will be the same size, although difficult to be sure, one of those bottom cameras looks bigger then the other in the leaks from a month or so ago.
The main camera absolutely needs a wider aperture, I mean the mini 4 pro gets some absolute cracking shorts for its size due to that nice wide aperture, havent used the air 3 but it uses same sensors so will be equally as good.

DJI have either been able to keep this very closely guarded which is weird and unlike them, or the actual launch is still a long time away but they are getting ahead of the ban by getting the FCC permissions in ASAP, even though those permissions may be revoked further down the line.

DJI - build a Mavic series drone with two of your Hasselblad cameras with variable aperture. One with the existing 24mm and one with 65mm-ish.

[bensmith]

I'm guessing the Mavic 4 pro will have lidar...and a top speed of Atleast 60 mph. I'm also thinking Better Zoom Camera, maybe bigger sensor in main Camera? Definitely longer fly time.

[ABPhotography]

The M3Pro is so good, it will take a new M5Pro with better camera, more battery power to make me upgrade.
