DJI Mavic 4 Pro Release Date, Rumored Upgrades, and New Features

From both pricing and weight considerations, the Mavic Air 4 series is set to fully replace the original Mavic Pro upon its release. Following this, the Mavic 4 Pro will exclusively target the semi-professional segment. I suspect that the Mavic 4 Classic might not even make an appearance, as it would feel rather out of place when compared to the sleeker and more versatile Mavic Air.

Beyond the expected leaps in image quality, battery endurance, and transmission technology, there are a few sticking points I hope the new series addresses:
1. An integrated 4G module; with the Mavic 3, attaching the 4G bracket makes folding the drone impossible. In contrast, the Mavic 3 Pro’s strap design conveniently accommodates the 4G module.

2. A remote controller that can be stored without needing disassembly; constantly taking it apart and putting it back together significantly slows down preparation times.
3. Built-in electronic ND filters; the physical ND filters included in previous models rarely saw use, mostly because I’d only remember I needed them after already being airborne.

4. Simultaneous multi-battery charging; with 95Wh batteries and a 240W PD 3.1 charger, charging batteries one by one is no longer practical or efficient.
5. Detachable backpack straps; when packing a smaller bag into a larger one, those fixed straps can become a major nuisance.

Based on recent leaks, it appears that improvements have been made to address points 1, 2, 3, and 4.
