The DJI Mavic 3 is certainly a great drone, but it's already three years old and a recently leaked image purportedly showing the DJI Mavic 4 suggests that a newer model is on the way in the not-too-distant future.
This leak comes from @Quadro_News on X (via Notebookcheck), a tipster with a solid track record of DJI leaks. The image shows what appears to be a redesigned camera housing for the Mavic 4, right next to a DJI Mavic 3 Pro.
We can't tell too much from the image, but @OsitaLV on X has spotted what appears to be 90-degree tilt capabilities for the camera, potentially giving users even more flexibility when it comes to capturing the perfect footage. It looks like there are potential sensor upgrades here, too.
What we don't have are any indications of camera specs. For reference, the Pro version of the DJI Mavic 3 also seen in this image offers a 20MP Hasselblad Four Thirds main camera, plus two telephoto cameras.
DJI Mavic 4 Release Date
👉Bro, Mavic 4! We haven't forgotten about you. Look how it folds. There's a difference#dji #djimavic4 pic.twitter.com/oTKoGGkHzNSeptember 21, 2024
The next question is when we'll see the launch of the DJI Mavic 4. The company has already launched the compact DJI Neo this year, as well as the GoPro rival, the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro, and all signs point to the DJI Mavic 4 also being released in 2024.
That would make for a very busy few months for DJI, but perhaps with the shadow of a US ban on DJI looming, the company feels it needs to release as much hardware as it can before any sort of restrictions are put in place.
The only real DJI Mavic 4 leak we've seen before this one also included an image of the camera setup, though we're still largely in the dark as to what kind of specs and capabilities these cameras will have.
Meanwhile, we've seen several leaks surrounding the DJI Air 3S mid-range drone, which hint at major camera improvements and show the drone in flight. This is another model that could appear in the coming months.
