DJI Mavic 4 Pro: the new king of the skies for image makers
DJI continues to assert its supremacy in the world of professional drones with the launch of the Mavic 4 Pro. A true concentrate of technology, this model pushes back the limits of what the Mavic 3 Proalready considered a benchmark. With record autonomy, a new camera system and even more advanced intelligent functions, the Mavic 4 Pro is aimed at the most demanding aerial videographers and photographers. Let's take a closer look at what this new generation brings.
High-powered cameras for exceptional images
The Mavic 4 Pro is equipped with a triple camera system completely redesigned. Its main Hasselblad camera now features a sensor 100 megapixel CMOS 4/3The 28mm f/2-f/11 lens offers a wide aperture range to adapt to all lighting conditions.
At its side, a medium telephoto lens of 48 MP (1/1.3″ CMOS sensor) offers a lossless 70mm optical zoom, ideal for aerial portraits and distant subjects. Finally, a long-range telephoto lens of 12 MP (1/2″ CMOS sensor)allows optical zoom up to 7x thanks to a 166 mm focal length, perfect for capturing distant details without getting too close.
Video quality that lives up to professional expectations
The drone makes it possible to record 6K at 60 frames per seconda quantum leap from the 5.1K at 50 fps of the Mavic 3 Pro. It also supports 4K at 120 fps and 1080p at up to 200 fps, for smooth slow motion. D-Log, HLG and D-Log M color profiles are available, and the Cine version integrates the D-Log M color profile. Apple ProRes 422 HQ codecand internal storage space for 2 Tofor maximum-quality footage without the need for external SD cards.
Autonomy and new flight performance
Another major evolution is its autonomy. The Mavic 4 Pro reaches up to 52 minutes flight time thanks to a battery of 6654 mAh. That's nearly 9 minutes longer than the Mavic 3 ProThis makes it the longest-lasting consumer drone in the DJI range. Its transmission range has also been considerably extended: thanks to the new system O4+the drone can transmit its video stream in 4K at 30 fps up to 40 kmalmost doubling the capacity of the Mavic 3 Pro.
Safety and control: even smarter
In-flight safety is no exception. The DJI Mavic 4 Pro is equipped with an even more powerful omnidirectional obstacle detection system. It combines visual sensors with a LiDAR for ultra-precise 3D mapping of its environment and smoother, more responsive avoidance trajectories.
Another remarkable new feature is the Infinity Gimbal. It allows a vertical inclination of -90° à +80° and a rotation 360° on the roll axisThis opens up unprecedented creative possibilities for vertical or panning camera shots.
