With all the talk about what drones DJI will be releasing in 2025, plenty of us are probably looking at our bank accounts trying to figure out how we’ll afford a Mavic 4 Pro or Mini 5 this year. However, it’s important to remember every so often that it’s the skill of the pilot, not the drone, that makes for great drone shots.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been going on for four years now, and just as the Spanish Civil War was a testing ground for tactics eventually used in World War II, Russia’s invasion has served as a testing ground for how drones will play a role in potential future wars (that we hope never happen). The U.S. Army has already begun taking notes and implementing changes to its brigade structures.

If there is one thing I know about DJI product releases, it’s that they are always heralded by a frenzy of leaks. That seems to be happening right about now with Jasper Ellens’ new leaks on the features, shells, and cameras of the yet-to-be-announced Mavic 4 Pro.

Connecticut-based Aquiline Drones is launching a new nationwide campaign to support cities struggling with graffiti tagging. After developing the solution with the Washington State Department of Transportation, it’s time to take its paint-spraying drones to the market to “Make America Clean Again.”

Spain’s Ministry of Defense announced this week that it has chosen the US drone manufacturer Skydio and its X10 drone to supply its military for UAV operations. The value of the contract is €18 million ($18.7 million).

February was a packed month of various DJI product releases and updates, but what’s next on the horizon for the drone maker? Well, it might just be that—actual drones. Here’s what we’re expecting to release soon.

It was a busy month for DJI fans as the company announced four new products and a frenzy of new features for its various platforms. In case you need a recap, here’s everything new from DJI for the month of February.

As larger heavy-lift VTOL UAV technology evolves, it’s becoming more and more likely that the US Navy will be at the forefront of drone use of this size in real-world applications, reducing costs to taxpayers and decreasing the risk to service members needed to transport supplies between ships and shore.

Today, DJI has officially unveiled its third-generation DJI Dock, a drone-in-a-box solution for enterprise pilots. The notable feature this time around is the official support for vehicle mounting, allowing you to take your automation wherever you need to be.

It’s hard to believe that DJI didn’t release the Osmo Mobile 7 last week as a replacement for the budget Mobile SE. With similar pricing and feature omissions from its bigger brothers, is the Osmo Mobile 7 the new king of budget smartphone gimbals?

Today, DJI announced the new RS 4 Mini, its latest full-feature camera gimbal for smaller cameras and smartphones. Announced with the RS 4 Mini is the new Intelligent Tracking Module that, once connected to the gimbal, can add basic ActiveTracking and gesture control to any camera.

Tuesday, DJI announced the new Osmo Mobile 7 Series, two gimbals to replace the Mobile 6. Both offer new features and compatibility with DJI’s new Multifunctional Module. Below are a few differences between the old Mobile 6 and the new Mobile 7 and 7P gimbals.

A leak has showed up showing what is believed to be a promotional graphic of the yet-to-be-released DJI Mini 5 Pro. While there could be doubts if it’s a real image, it does have one potential feature that correlates with another leak, which might just mean the other, much more exciting features could be true!

DJI has announced details for its next product release with an event called “Roll With It.” According to leakers, the event will release a new gimbal, the RS 4 Mini, which will feature the vision-only based side of DJI’s Focus unit.

For the last year, we’ve been on the edge of the fear of losing brand new DJI drones if the United States bans them from being imported. We’re also on the backend of the company’s third generation (give or take) of its main lineup of camera drones: Mini 4 Pro, Air 3S, and Mavic 3 Pro. Will these drone replacements make it to us?

A potential first leak of the DJI Air 4 has surfaced that shows the potential successor of the mid-range drone is in the works. It also shows potential changes that echo what is being done on the upcoming Mavic 4 Pro.

The DJI Mavic 4 Pro has been rumored to be coming for months now, but there is still no sign of it coming out in the near future. However, the latest leak shows potential final production Mavic 4s in the process of qualification tests.

We are 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.

Leaks are in the air as we likely near another release of DJI’s flagship drone line, the Mavic 4. Amazon also had a big week, but not in a good way; its drone delivery operation is on pause as it works on issues with its MK30 drone.

DJI Flip purchasers have shared issues with getting their drones through customs and into the United States, echoing similar issues experienced after the Air 3S launch in October. It appears that this issue has not gone away and seems it will likely not go away any time soon.
