DJI Releases Mavic 4 Pro with 100MP Camera
The DJI Mavic 4 Pro is the latest addition to the company’s professional-grade camera drone lineup, offering a significant upgrade over its predecessor, the Mavic 3 Pro. Central to the new model is a redesigned body with a 360° rotating “Infinity Gimbal,” allowing for full rotation and up to 70° of upward shooting. This new gimbal design improves aerodynamics and removes the traditional hanging structure, aligning the camera more closely with the drone’s body.
“When we launched the previous model this was the first drone with a triple camera combination allowing content creators to switch between shot composition with just one tap,” said Ferdinand Wolf, Product Experience Director at DJI. “The Mavic 4 Pro’s innovative 360° rotation Infinity Gimbal goes one step further and offers even more shooting options. We’re really looking forward to seeing how people experiment with their shots and the cinematic possibilities that this opens up.”
The Mavic 4 Pro retains a triple-camera system but introduces several enhancements. The main camera features a 100MP 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad sensor with an adjustable f/2.0–f/11 aperture. It can record video in up to 6K at 60fps HDR and supports 4K slow-motion at up to 120fps. The second camera is a 70mm medium telephoto lens with a 48MP 1/1.3-inch sensor and f/2.8 aperture, also capable of 4K120 recording. The third camera, a 168mm telephoto, features a 50MP 1/1.5-inch sensor and f/2.8 aperture, supporting 4K at up to 100fps. All three lenses support 10-bit D-Log, D-Log M, and HLG colour profiles and HDR video recording up to 4K60. Dual native ISO and RAW frame stacking up to five images enable better low-light performance and improved image quality.
Here are 3 sample pictures shot with the 28mm, 70mm and 128mm, taken from DJI’s website:
The Mavic 4 Pro includes six fisheye low-light sensors and front-facing LiDAR, enabling omnidirectional obstacle detection, even in light as low as 0.1 lux. The Mavic 4 Pro also features upgraded ActiveTrack 360°, which allows the drone to track subjects through complex environments, including low-light conditions and partial obstructions. It can detect vehicles at distances up to 200 meters and maintain focus on subjects even if temporarily blocked.
The drone supports flight times of up to 51 minutes and has a top speed of approximately 90 km/h. Its new O4+ transmission system offers a live 10-bit HDR video feed at distances up to 30km and total transmission range up to 41km, with increased resistance to interference in dense urban environments.
The drone comes in three configurations. The base version includes 64GB of internal storage and the RC 2 remote controller. The Fly More Combo adds two extra batteries, a 100W or 240W charger (depending on the version), a charging hub, and a shoulder bag. The Creator Combo includes a 512GB SSD, the upgraded RC Pro 2 controller and additional accessories. The RC Pro 2 remote features a 7-inch Mini-LED screen supporting vertical rotation, HDMI output, and 128GB internal storage. It can record audio via a built-in mic or when paired with the DJI Mic series and has a battery life of up to four hours. Additional accessories include the Parallel Charging Hub, which can charge three batteries in sequence and then in parallel, or act as a power bank with up to 100W output.
File transfer capabilities have also been improved: users can now access footage without powering on the drone using USB-C or via Wi-Fi 6 for up to 80MB/s transfers using DJI’s QuickTransfer function.

The Mavic 4 Pro is priced at $2,699 for the standard model, $3,549 for the Fly More Combo, and $4,649 for the Creator Combo. Although it is FCC-certified for sale in the United States, DJI has opted not to release it in the U.S. market momentarily, likely due to ongoing tariff and regulatory considerations. The drone is available in other markets including the UK and EU, with regional pricing varying by configuration.
