Mavic 4 Pro overview

Camera

The Mavic 4 Pro features an advanced triple-camera system, combining a Hasselblad wide-angle lens with medium and telephoto options.

Each camera is engineered to deliver exceptional image quality, from sweeping landscapes to detailed zoomed-in shots. All three lenses support Dual Native ISO Fusion, enhancing dynamic range by blending high and low ISO settings for greater detail than traditional sensors.

Additional features like high-resolution RAW stacking (up to five frames), Free Panoramas, and Subject Focusing across all cameras take creative flexibility to the next level.

Let's take a closer at these cameras...

• Hasselblad 4/3 CMOS: Features a 100MP 4/3 CMOS sensor and Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS) for rich, true-to-life colours. The re-engineered lens and adjustable f/2.0–f/11 aperture deliver exceptional clarity, even in low light.

• Medium Tele: Equipped with a 48MP 1/1.3-inch sensor and a 70mm equivalent focal length, this camera offers a sharp f/2.8 aperture and excels at creating compressed perspectives—ideal for portraits and dynamic tracking shots.

• Tele: Powered by a 50MP 1/1.5-inch sensor with a 168mm equivalent focal length and wide f/2.8 aperture. Its advanced gimbal algorithm ensures stable, detailed long-range shots, perfect for isolating subjects or capturing expansive panoramas.

Gimbal

The Mavic 4 Pro features an Infinity Gimbal, allowing full 360° rotation for fluid, dynamic camera movements. Capture dramatic Dutch angles or create gravity-defying shots straight from the drone—perfect for reimagining aerial storytelling.

With a 70° upward tilt, you can frame mountains or architectural structures from bold new perspectives, opening up creative possibilities not seen in traditional drone footage.

Flight Performance

The Mavic 4 Pro delivers precise, reliable flight performance with advanced tracking and obstacle avoidance systems designed for complex environments.

ActiveTrack 360° has been significantly upgraded, now offering smooth subject tracking even in low-light settings such as twilight or illuminated cityscapes.

It can maintain focus on a subject even when partially obscured—like behind bushes or standing on a bridge—and detect vehicles up to 200 metres away with directional awareness.

This makes it ideal for cinematic vehicle tracking and professional-grade filming scenarios.

0.1-Lux Nightscape Omnidirectional Vision gives the Mavic 4 Pro full awareness in every direction, even in challenging low-light conditions.

Equipped with six high-sensitivity fisheye sensors and dual processors, the drone can detect obstacles while flying at speeds up to 18 m/s, using ambient street lighting.

When flying in extremely dark environments, the forward-facing LiDAR system continues to support obstacle detection and emergency braking, ensuring safe navigation even when GPS signals are weak or visibility is limited.

Together, these features provide a sharp, responsive flying experience that enables more confident and creative missions—whether you're weaving through tight urban spaces or filming high-speed vehicle scenes.

Flight time and transmission

The Mavic 4 Pro offers extended flight time and improved range, giving you more flexibility and confidence during every mission.

With an aerodynamic design, 95Wh battery, and efficient propulsion system, the drone delivers up to 51 minutes of flight time and a top speed of 90 kph, covering up to 41 km (25.4 miles) on a single charge.

This allows pilots to comfortably complete tasks such as time-lapse recording, panoramic photography, and long-range scouting without interruption.

The Mavic 4 Pro clearly leads the range category, offering more flight time and coverage than its predecessors—ideal for professionals who need to maximise airtime and efficiency.

The Mavic 4 Pro is equipped with DJI’s next-generation O4+ transmission system, delivering ultra-long-range 10-bit HDR video transmission of up to 30 km (18.6 miles). This system uses advanced algorithms to ensure stable, high-quality feeds even in signal-dense environments like cities or industrial zones.

O4+ is also optimised for multi-drone operations, offering strong resistance to interference and supporting reliable performance during coordinated flights.

Power Up Fast, Get Ready Faster

The DJI Mavic 4 Pro is built for speed and efficiency, getting you airborne in less time.

Simply unfold the aircraft to power it on. Thanks to advanced flight path memory, it can automatically update the home point even without GPS.

The DJI RC Pro 2 controller (more on this later) also powers on when extended, allowing you to start flying straight away.

Charging is more efficient than ever, with the DJI Mavic 240W Power Adapter and Parallel Charging Hub fully charging one battery in 51 minutes or three in 90 minutes. It prioritises the lowest battery first before switching to parallel charging for maximum efficiency.

The hub also doubles as a 100W power bank for fast-charging devices on location. With its power accumulation feature, you can combine remaining power from multiple low-charge batteries into one—ideal for squeezing out more flight time in the field.

Introducing RC 2 Pro

Lets take a look at the top features:

• 7-inch high-bright Mini-LED rotatable display

• Screen syncs with gimbal for instant vertical shooting

• Auto-deploying collapsible control sticks

• Powers on when extended

• 4-hour battery life (matches drone batteries)

• Built-in mic and DJI Mic compatibility

• Enterprise-grade multibeam high-gain antennas

• 128GB internal storage

• Built-in flight simulator for training and practice

The DJI RC Pro 2 is built for seamless control of the Mavic 4 Pro, featuring a 7-inch high-bright Mini-LED display that rotates and syncs with the gimbal for instant vertical shooting. It powers on when unfolded and includes auto-deploying control sticks for quick setup.

With a 4-hour battery life to match the drone, 128GB internal storage, and multibeam high-gain antennas, it offers strong video transmission and long sessions.

A built-in mic supports DJI Mic connection, and the onboard flight simulator helps new pilots build confidence before takeoff.

Plus, it's not just compatible with the Mavic 4 Pro, you can also use it with the DJI Air 3S, Air 3, and Mini 4 Pro.
