The DJI Mavic 4 Pro drone features a brand new 100MP Hasselblad sensor and large CMOS dual tele cameras housed in an Infinity Gimbal with 360° rotation, a 51-minute maximum flight time, improved Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing and 30km HD Video Transmission.

 

The new DJI Mavic packs incredible resolution

Three cameras on one drone

The Mavic 4 Pro has an advanced triple camera system with focal lengths of 28mm, 70mm and 168mm, enabling shot capture from expansive wide-angle landscapes to detailed telephoto close-ups. All three cameras boast Dual Native ISO Fusion, seamlessly blending the benefits of high and low ISO settings and RAW stacking of up to 5 frames, along with features like Free Panoramas and Subject Focusing to facilitate high consistency image quality.

The main 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad camera utilizes a brand new 100MP sensor and supports the renowned Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS) for exceptional colour fidelityA versatile f/2.0 to f/11 aperture allows for clean low-light filming, while also rendering eye-catching 10-ray starburst effects.

Equipped with a 48MP 1/1.3-inch sensor and f/2.8 aperture, the 70mm medium tele camera delivers enhanced image quality due to its new image processing engine. The 70mm focal length can be used to create compressed perspectives which highlight subjects, ideal for dynamic portraits and footage with orbital camera movements.

Powered by a 50MP 1/1.5-inch sensor and a wide f/2.8 aperture, the 168mm tele camera leverages a specifically optimized gimbal algorithm tailored for its telephoto optics to deliver unparalleled image quality and stability in long-range aerial photography. Its extended reach dramatically reduces depth perception and creates a flattened perspective that isolates subjects with remarkable clarity. Combined with Subject Focusing, capturing breathtaking close-ups becomes effortless. Additionally, it captures incredibly detailed Free Panoramas, revealing expansive skylines when zoomed out and intricate cityscapes when zoomed in.

Pro grade video

While all three cameras support 4K/60fps HDR video recording, the Hasselblad main camera goes even further, offering 6K/60fps HDR video and an impressive dynamic range of up to around 16 stops1. The medium tele and tele cameras offer dynamic ranges of 14 stops and 13 stops respectively.

For those looking to add dramatic tension and visual impact by slowing things down, both the Hasselblad main camera and the medium tele camera support 4K/120fps video recording, while the tele camera records in 4K/100fps.

Consistent colour reproduction across footage is ensured with all three cameras featuring 10-bit D-Log, D-Log M, and HLG colour profiles.
