DJI Mavic 4 Pro: Specs, Price, License Rules & Review

If you’ve been waiting for a drone that treats serious aerial photography as a baseline rather than a goal, the DJI Mavic 4 Pro deserves your attention. Released on May 13, 2025, it packs a 100MP Hasselblad camera and 51 minutes of flight time into a foldable frame designed for pilots who actually use their gear week after week.

Camera: 100MP 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad · Video: 6K/60fps HDR · Flight Time: 51 minutes max · Top Speed: 90 kph · Storage: 64GB onboard

Six specification pillars define what DJI built with the Mavic 4 Pro — and where compromises were accepted to hit the price point.

Is the DJI Mavic 4 Pro good?

For pilots who measure a drone by what they can actually shoot rather than marketing benchmarks, the Mavic 4 Pro delivers arguments worth taking seriously. The 100MP Hasselblad sensor captures details that most competing drones at this price bracket simply cannot match, while the addition of a 48MP medium telephoto and 50MP standard telephoto gives creators three distinct focal lengths without swapping lenses. According to DroneXL’s long-term review, the three lenses — 28mm wide-angle, 70mm medium telephoto, and 168mm telephoto — cover scenarios from landscape sweeps to compressed architecture shots that previously required a heavier setup.

Long-term performance

• Infinity Gimbal enables 360-degree rotation for creative angles impossible with previous generation
• Dual Native ISO Fusion technology improves low-light performance
• RAW stacking of up to 5 frames for enhanced dynamic range

Do you need a licence to fly the DJI Mavic 4 Pro?

In most jurisdictions, the Mavic 4 Pro requires registration due to its advanced capabilities and sensor size. Pilots in the United States must register drones weighing 250g or more with the FAA, and the Mavic 4 Pro’s 95Wh battery suggests it exceeds this threshold. Always check local regulations before flying.

How much is a DJI Mavic 4 Pro drone?

Pricing varies significantly by region and configuration. The base kit starts at £1,879 in the UK and AU$3,099 in Australia, according to TechRadar’s pricing breakdown. US buyers face a more complicated picture: the base model reportedly starts at $2,699 through third-party retailers, though DJI officially stated the drone would not be available in the US at launch on May 13, 2025, according to PetaPixel’s market analysis.

Standard vs combos

The Fly More Combo adds £580 in the UK and includes two additional Intelligent Flight batteries plus a 100W USB-C Power Adapter. European pricing starts at €2,189 for the 64GB 4G Combo, though these figures come from tier-3 sources and may vary.

The 512GB Creator Combo commands £3,209 in the UK and includes a 240W power adapter alongside the expanded storage — worth considering if you shoot extensively in the field without access to cloud backup.

How far can a DJI Mavic 4 Pro fly?

The O4+ transmission system enables up to 30 km of ultra-long-range 10-bit HDR video transmission, according to Best Buy’s product specifications. Top speed reaches 90 kph (60 mph), matching the verified facts from manufacturer sources.

Distance range

Real-world range depends heavily on interference, weather conditions, and local regulations. The 30 km figure represents theoretical maximum under optimal conditions — most pilots will see practical ranges of 10-15 km in typical environments.

Top speed details

At 90 kph, the Mavic 4 Pro matches its predecessor’s speed while adding significant camera improvements. Sport mode enables these speeds, though obstacle avoidance is disabled in this configuration.

What are the DJI Mavic 4 Pro specs?

The spec sheet reads like a professional cinema rig condensed into a foldable frame. The headline feature remains the 100MP Hasselblad 4/3 CMOS sensor, capable of 6K/60fps HDR video and 4K/120fps slow motion when paired with the Hasselblad and medium telephoto cameras.

Camera and battery

• 100MP Hasselblad wide-angle (28mm equivalent)
• 48MP medium telephoto (70mm equivalent)
• 50MP standard telephoto (168mm equivalent)
• 95Wh battery delivering up to 51 minutes flight time

Weight and design

Official weight specifications remain undocumented in current sources. The foldable design maintains the Mavic series’ portability while accommodating the triple-camera array. RC 2 includes a 5.5-inch 1080p display, while the Creator Combo’s RC Pro 2 offers a foldable 7-inch screen.

The implication: DJI prioritized camera performance over weight reduction, likely positioning this as a professional tool rather than an ultra-portable travel drone.

Why is the Mavic 4 Pro not on the DJI website?

DJI officially excluded the US market from the Mavic 4 Pro launch on May 13, 2025. Despite this, US retailers B&H Photo and Adorama began accepting preorders, creating a workaround for American buyers. The exact reasons for the exclusion remain unclear — industry observers point to ongoing regulatory considerations affecting DJI’s US distribution strategy.
