Setting a new benchmark for camera drone performance, if you can buy it
New triple-camera unit has greater range of motion than before
It can shoot 100MP stills and 6K 60fps HDR video
DJI also announced the RC Pro 2 controller with a 7-inch rotatable display
DJI has unveiled the Mavic 4 Pro, an upgraded triple-camera drone for advanced pilots seeking a versatile and high-quality aerial photography experience.
We’ve already tested the Mavic 4 Pro with the new RC Pro 2 remote controller that was announced at the same time, and it’s quite simply the most impressive prosumer camera drone we’ve ever used – see our in-depth Mavic 4 Pro review.
It updates our previous favorite camera drone, the DJI Mavic 3 Pro, with a new 28mm main camera that packs a Micro Four Thirds-quality sensor and lens with an adjustable aperture, and delivers 100MP / 25MP stills and 6K 60fps HDR video with up to 16EV dynamic range.
Then there’s the 168mm telephoto camera with updated 1/1.5-inch 50MP / 12.5MP sensor, plus the same 70mm mid-telephoto camera with 1/1.3-inch sensor and 48MP / 12MP stills. Both of those telephoto cameras shoot 4K 60fps HDR video, while all three cameras can shoot 4K slow-motion video up to 4x, complete with D-Log color profiles.
The cherry on the camera cake is the versatile camera unit and gimbal, which can continuously rotate 360 degrees on the roll axis, plus it offers a 160-degree tilt range with an unmatched 70-degree upward tilt for new perspectives.
