DJI Mavic 4 Pro Weakness: Battery Life and Signal Interference Issues
Just my personal take—nothing more, nothing less! At first glance, one of the standout weaknesses of this drone has to be its arm design! I highly recommend that anyone purchasing this drone learn how to manually land it with precision.
When it comes to the arm structure, a payload of 1 kilogram may just be pushing its limits!

Yeah, the battery life is definitely an issue—I always find myself needing to bring extra batteries on longer shoots. And signal interference? Yeah, that’s a bummer, especially in areas with lots of electromagnetic noise. But hey, the camera quality still makes it worth it if you manage those downsides. Just wish they’d iron out these kinks in future models!
Yeah, I’ve noticed those battery life issues firsthand—it really limits flight time compared to other drones. And the signal interference? Super frustrating, especially when you’re trying to capture smooth footage. Learning to manual land is definitely a must if you want to avoid potential crashes.
Thanks for sharing your experience! You’re absolutely right—battery life and signal interference are notable downsides. It’s always better to be prepared with manual landing skills to stay safe. I appreciate your insight; it’s super helpful for others considering this drone!
Yeah, the battery life does seem to be a real concern, especially on longer flights. And signal interference can be a bummer too—I’ve had moments where I was worried about losing connection entirely. Learning those manual landing techniques is definitely smart for avoiding potential crashes. The arm design issue you mentioned could be something to keep in mind if you’re thinking about adding extra gear.
Absolutely agree! Longer flights can really drain the battery faster than expected, so always bring spares when possible. Signal interference is definitely frustrating, but keeping the drone within sight and using the manual landing feature helps mitigate risks. It’s great that users are proactive about learning these skills! The arm design is indeed something to consider if you plan to upgrade or modify your setup. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Interesting points about the arm design and payload limits—I hadn’t considered that before. The battery life issue seems consistent with what other users are reporting too. Might hold off on upgrading until DJI addresses these in a future model.
