Billy Kyle reviews the DJI Mavic 4 Pro, highlighting its improvements over the Mavic 3 Pro, especially in camera quality, flight performance, and safety features. While praising the upgrades, he shares frustrations with the Infinity Gimbal’s limitations. The video discusses the new camera’s capabilities, the drone’s speed, flight time, and obstacle avoidance technologies.
Camera Improvements
The Mavic 4 Pro features a significantly upgraded camera compared to the Mavic 3 Pro, with a 25 MP to 100 MP photo capability, 6K video at 60 fps, and a quad bear sensor that provides improved image quality, dynamic range, and clarity. The drone’s three fixed focal lengths offer enhanced optical zoom, making it a top choice for both photo and video shooting.
Infinity Gimbal Design
The newly designed Infinity Gimbal allows for 360° rotation for creative shots like Dutch angles. However, the gimbal limits vertical movement, making it difficult for portrait shots and normal shooting angles while also affecting flying speeds.
Flight Performance
The Mavic 4 Pro excels in flight speed, capable of reaching 60 mph and has impressive vertical speed. It offers extended flight times, with a maximum of around 51 minutes and effective battery management, allowing for longer shooting possibilities.
Obstacle Avoidance and Night Flying
Improved obstacle sensors enable the Mavic 4 Pro to see in low-light conditions, enhancing flight safety. The drone can now effectively handle nighttime operation, a significant upgrade from previous models.
Battery and Charging Options
The new battery boasts a capacity of 95.3 watt-hours and offers various charging options, including fast recharging capabilities. Users can charge multiple batteries simultaneously, which significantly reduces downtime.
Remote Controller Upgrades
The new RC Pro 2 controller features a brighter display (up to 2000 nits) and improved ergonomics, enhancing the user’s experience and comfort during flight.
