DJI Mavic 4 Pro GPS

First launched globally on 13 May 2025, the Mavic 4 Pro is now available in Australia. Australian retail pricing starts at approximately $3,099 for the base kit (with the DJI RC 2 controller). Higher-tier bundles (Fly More, Creator Combo) cost more, with the 512 GB version listed at around $5,359. 

In terms of imaging, the Mavic 4 Pro introduces a triple-lens camera system headed by a 100 megapixel 4/3″ CMOS sensor in a wide-angle “Hasselblad” format. Complementing this are a medium-telephoto 1/1.3″ sensor and a telephoto 1/1.5″ sensor, offering framing flexibility from wide sweeping landscapes to tighter telephoto shots. Video capture goes up to 6K at 60 fps on the main camera, and 4K up to 120 fps on the telephoto lenses. A standout feature is the so-called “Infinity Gimbal” which supports full rotation (roll, pitch, yaw) enabling vertical-orientation shooting (portrait mode) as well as the standard landscape. 

On the flight-performance side you’re looking at a maximum flight time rated at about 51 minutes under ideal conditions. The maximum speed is also improved compared to predecessors, reported up to roughly 90 km/h in Sport mode. The transmission and control systems are likewise refreshed: improved video link range (in some markets up to 30 km) and enhanced obstacle-sensing (omnidirectional) even in lower-light conditions. 

In practical usage, the foldable form factor remains familiar to the Mavic line: arms fold in for transport, allowing easier portability for field work. Weight is approximately 1.06 kg (1063 g) for the aircraft body. The build quality and finish are designed to suit serious users: from the controller to the gimbal assembly and sensors, this is clearly positioned toward advanced hobbyists or semi-pro users.

Control and integration features are also upgraded. The DJI RC 2 controller (or higher-tier RC Pro 2 in the Creator bundle) features a bright, tiltable display making outdoor use in sunlight more viable. Storage-wise the base version comes with 64 GB of internal storage; for users pushing codec and workflow demands, a 512 GB version is available. 

As with any advanced drone, practical considerations apply. The expanded capabilities—higher resolution sensors, multiple lenses, faster speeds—mean that post-production demands (storage, computer power, editing software) can increase accordingly. Also, while 51 minutes is a headline figure, real-world flight time will vary with wind conditions, payload, temperature and flight mode. Further, while the foldable design aids transport, you’ll still want good case/packaging protection for field use given the number of sensors and moving parts.

From a regulatory standpoint in Australia you’ll of course need to comply with the local Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) rules for remotely piloted aircraft, especially given this drone’s size, weight and performance envelope. If you’re planning professional or commercial use, further licences or registration may apply.

In summary, the DJI Mavic 4 Pro brings a significant leap in aerial imaging, flight time and flexibility. It is very well-suited to someone who wants or needs elevated capabilities in a single portable platform—whether that’s for creative video work, high-resolution stills, or advanced aerial applications. If you like, I can pull together a full specification table (metric units) and compare how this model stacks up against its predecessor or its main competitors.
