What we know so far about the rumored DJI Mavic 4 Pro
Leaked images and specs suggest the Mavic 4 Pro will feature a redesigned, bulbous camera module housing three lenses:
| Hasselblad Wide Camera | Next Gen 4/3 CMOS, 100 MP effective pixels, up to 6K/60 HDR or 4K/120 |
| Med-Telecamera | 70mm, 1/1.3 inch CMOS, 48 MP effective pixels, up to 4K/60 HDR or 4K/120 |
| Telecamera | 168mm, 1/1.5 inch CMOS, 50 MP effective pixels, up to 4K/60 HDR or 4K/100 |
Notably, the camera module is capable of rotating (as seen in the teaser video above), enabling vertical shooting — a feature beneficial for social media content creators. More specifically, the new DJI drone’s gimbal is anticipated to offer extensive movement, with a pitch range from -90° to +70°, and roll movement up to 175 degrees. This flexibility allows for unique aerial perspectives and more dynamic footage.

The Mavic 4 Pro is further expected to feature a 6,654mAh battery, allowing for a maximum flight time of approximately 51 minutes. Design enhancements include more aerodynamic propellers and an advanced cooling system, contributing to longer flight times and better performance in various conditions. Omnidirectional obstacle detection is also to be anticipated, including a forward-facing LiDAR sensor.
The DJI Mavic 4 Pro is expected to retail at approximately $2,250, with the official launch set for May 13, 2025. The drone will likely be available in various bundles, including Fly More and Creator combos, offering additional accessories like batteries, propellers, ND filters, and a cellular dongle.
