DJI Mavic 4 Pro Announced with Longer Range

Shenzhen-based technology giant DJI has officially announced the launch of the Mavic 4 Pro, a new flagship drone aimed at professional aerial videographers and autonomous robotics applications. The announcement was made today during a global digital press conference, marking a significant upgrade in the company's compact drone lineup. The Mavic 4 Pro is touted for its extended operational range and enhanced AI-driven flight capabilities, positioning it as a key tool for industrial survey and cinematic production.

At the core of the Mavic 4 Pro is a newly developed transmission system that pushes the maximum video transmission range up to 20 kilometers in open environments. This represents a notable increase over the previous Mavic 3 Pro series. The drone features a dual-sensor camera system, combining a 45-megapixel medium telephoto lens with a 1-inch main sensor, allowing for superior low-light performance. Furthermore, the device incorporates an omnidirectional obstacle avoidance system, utilizing LiDAR and stereo vision to navigate complex urban landscapes safely. Battery life has also been optimized, offering up to 45 minutes of flight time under ideal conditions.

For the Indian market, DJI has confirmed an official launch timeline. The Mavic 4 Pro is expected to be available for pre-order starting next month across authorized retailers and the official DJI India website. The pricing has been set at INR 189,900 for the standard Fly More Combo, which includes the drone, three intelligent batteries, a charging hub, and additional propellers. This pricing strategy aims to maintain accessibility for content creators while positioning the device alongside professional-grade competitors in the Indian aerial robotics sector.

The launch aligns with growing demand in India for autonomous aerial solutions in sectors such as agriculture, infrastructure inspection, and disaster management. DJI's engineering team emphasized that the Mavic 4 Pro's flight controller supports advanced scripting, allowing developers to integrate the drone into larger robotic ecosystems. This makes the device particularly relevant for the "Robotics" focus of the publication, as it bridges the gap between consumer photography and semi-autonomous industrial robotics.

• Transmission Range: Up to 20 km with O4 technology.
• Camera Specs: 1-inch sensor with variable aperture capability.
• Battery Life: 45-minute max flight duration.
• India Launch Price: INR 189,900 (Fly More Combo).

Industry analysts suggest that the Mavic 4 Pro will solidify DJI's dominance in the Indian drone market, especially following recent regulatory frameworks for commercial UAV usage. While the Mavic 3 series remains popular among hobbyists, the Mavic 4 Pro targets the prosumer and enterprise segment with its focus on extended range and reliability. DJI has assured that all software updates will be delivered via OTA (Over-The-Air) to ensure the drone remains compatible with future automation protocols.

As the Indian drone manufacturing ecosystem expands under the PLI scheme, the introduction of advanced international models highlights the competitive landscape. The Mavic 4 Pro is expected to ship globally by the end of the quarter, with India receiving a priority allocation.
