DJI Mavic 4: New drone, old rumors – when will it finally fly?

If you're a drone enthusiast and have already marked April 24, 2025 in red on your calendar, you've probably checked your batteries three times and refreshed the official DJI website five times by now - to no avail. The DJI Mavic 4 is still the mythical unicorn of the drone world: everyone's talking about it, but no one's seen it yet. What do we know today? A little more than yesterday, but with a touch more cynicism.

If there's any drone that deserves its own Netflix series, it's definitely this one. DJI Mavic 4. In recent months, he has been the target of so many break-ins, “accidentally” captured photos, and “confidential” information that they could have quietly filmed a reality show called Mavic 4 Search. And what's most amusing – it seems like an official launch could happen any day. Seriously – every day you open a phone, there's a 50% chance that you'll find a new box, a new render, or a new "insider leak."

But despite all this speculation and the occasional “reliable” announcement, DJI continues to remain silent as a rock. This creates the perfect mix of anticipation, frustration, and (let’s face it) slightly obsessive forum browsing. So what do we know today? Let’s see…

DJI Mavic 4 rumors and specs:

Rumors, whispers, and "reliable sources" paint a picture of the dream drone:

  • Triple camera (24 mm, 50 mm, 145 mm – or according to other sources 28 mm, 70 mm, 168 mm) – ideal for anyone who wants to capture a view, portrait and detail of a photogenic rock in one go.
  • Recording in 6K – because 4K is so 2023.
  • Larger sensor – promise better low-light shots. Goodbye, grainy nighttime adventures!
  • 52 minutes of daylight saving time – almost enough to capture a sunset once in your life and sunrise in a year.
  • Electronic ND filters – a final farewell to changing filters on the edge of the precipice.
  • DJI RC Pro 2 – an upgrade with a 7-inch screen, for all of you who believe that bigger screen = better frame.

Of course, until it flies before our eyes, all of this remains in the realm of "almost certain, possible."

Price and availability: DJI Mavic 4

According to current information, the base model is expected to cost approximately 2.100 € ($2,250), “Fly More Combo” around 2.980 € (3,200 USD), and the ultimate “Creator Combo” just 4.100 € ($4,400).
Sounds like a lot? Well, if the drone wishes you "good luck" and hugs you when you buy it, maybe it's not that much.

But without official confirmation, these numbers are still in the category best wishes.

Controversy and uncertainty: DJI Mavic 4

As they say in the internet world: “Just because you hear something three times doesn’t mean it’s true.”
Sources argue about key details: some claim that the Mavic 4 has focal lengths of 24–50–145 mm, while others claim that it has 28–70–168 mm. In both cases, the more lenses, the more fun (or more headaches when choosing a shooting angle).

The debate over the accuracy of the entrances is heated, forums are buzzing like propellers, and skeptics recommend caution: “Believe it when you see it, and even then, look twice.”

Currently known (spoken) specifications: DJI Mavic 4

Function Description
Camera Triple system: 24mm, 50mm, 145mm (or 28mm, 70mm, 168mm)
Video 6K recording, larger sensor for improved night performance
Flight time 52 minutes
Charging Three batteries charge in 90 minutes
Gimbal 360° multi-directional movement
ND filters Electronic system without the need for physical exchange
Controller DJI RC Pro 2 with 7-inch screen
Aerodynamics Up to 6x better annual performance than Mavic 3 Pro

If these numbers are true, then the Mavic 4 is not just a “new drone,” but a “new league.”

Availability – still in the fog

If you've been planning a summer drone vacation, it might be time to look at alternatives.
Without an official release, the Mavic 4 is just another bait for those of us prone to impulsively clicking on “pre-order now” buttons.

Controversies: Who to believe?

While some share box images, renders, and “inside information,” others point out that these images often look like they were created by enthusiasts in Photoshop at three in the morning.
Also forums like DJI Forum and Reddit, which is boiling with conspiracy theories: “Mavic 4? No, it's just a Mavic 3 with a fresh sticker!”

Conclusion: DJI Mavic 4

DJI Mavic 4 is currently still a mystery, shrouded in a fog of rumors and speculation.
Although promises of a triple camera, electronic ND filters, and almost an hour of flight time sound tempting, without official information, we still remain in the world of hope and imagination.

In short: We're ready, credit cards are on the prowl – now we're just waiting for DJI to emerge from its mysterious silence.
