If the Mavic 3 Pro was a tool that took the looks both in design, in battery and photography, as in the images it produced, the arrival of the next generation, The Mavic 4 Pro, elevates the ribbon. And a lot. We go in parts.
We are facing a drone that is very close to All the characteristics we see in military environments (due to stability, speed and autonomy) and cinematographic for the quality of their images. With just over a kilo of weight, its triple camera system, signed by Hasselblad, is the star of the set: 100 mp images and 6 k videos.
Before embarking on the in -depth analysis, we must stop in two “viewpoints.” Based, the Mavic 4 Pro comes with 64 GB of internal storage and a microSD card slot, but if the creator combo is purchased, the memory is triggered at 512 GB. To this we must add the RC-2 command and additional batteries. The latest is an interesting aggregate, but the command is An additional additional for fans, taking into account its flight capabilities. It is enough to say that the synchronization is perfect, so much that if we turn the 180º control screen and turn it into vertical, the drone cameras adapt to this format automatically, a huge advantage.
With regard to design, the DJI Mavic 4 Pro does not differ much from its predecessor, in its colors or in its profiles. Of course, its weight confers the EU C2 label, which means that You can’t fly the drone to less than 50 m of people.
Good detail of DJI to provide protective covers for propellers, so that they do not get hooked on the transport bag. In fact, the simple gesture of deploying the four arms of the propeller ignites the drone: Goodbye to the On.
As for flight autonomy, we talk about a substantial improvement: it has gone from the 28 km of the Mavic 3 pro to 41 km away. Can reach 6,000 meters high and fly almost an hour without the need to “repost”. And all this reaching a speed of more than 90 km/h … with winds of up to 40 km/h. That said: a combination of the best in the world of military and cinematographic drones.
That said, we go to the cameras. Like its predecessor, the Mavic 4 Pro is equipped with three cameras, but with significant improvements in the resolution. The first is a 100 MP Hasselblad camera already adds A teleobjective double system composed of an average teleobjective of 70 mm and a 168 mm teleobjective. The Mavic 4 Pro uses a 1/1.3 -inch sensor for 48 MP photos with middle teleobjective and a 1/1.5 -inch CMOS sensor for 50 MP photos with teleobjective.
The Hasselblad camera is able to record video at 6k/60 fps, slow camera to 4K/120 fps and also vertical video at 4K/60 fps. The three cameras can capture video at 4K/60 fps.
Having three cameras with different focal distances, zoom ranges and shutter speeds provides enormous flexibility and that was visible not only in conventional shots, Also in the Night, where not only its resolution surprised, but also its ability to avoid obstacles.
We finally have the battery. If we have The three batteries of the creator combo, we have for more than two and a half hours of flight. The interesting thing is that the combo this comes with a charger for the three batteries, but not any, but an intelligent one that prioritizes the battery charge with the lowest level. And, on the most complex stage (the three batteries to zero), it takes 90 minutes to replace them to the fullest.
Verdict
No, it’s not a drone for anyone. Its price is from 2,000 euros and with the complete package it rises to 3,500 euros. That said, it is the best drone for photography and video below 10,000 euros. If content creation, the filming I photography is something serious, the Mavic 4 Pro is the best option.
