DJI released its new flagship drone, the DJI Mavic 4 Pro, last week. Equipped with a triple-lens camera, the drone is designed to give creators the versatility to capture almost any shot — from expansive wide-angle landscapes to detailed close-ups. The drone features a 100-megapixel Hasselblad main lens, large CMOS dual telephoto cameras, and an innovative Infinity Gimbal with 360 degrees of rotation. The 28mm Hasselblad lens utilizes a new 100-megapixel image sensor, promising enhanced resolution and image quality. It offers a versatile aperture range from f/2 to f/11, enabling clear night photography with dramatic starry sky effects. The 70mm medium telephoto lens, equipped with a 48-megapixel 1/1.3-inch sensor and an f/2.8 aperture, is optimized for high-quality human portraits. The 168mm telephoto lens, which features a 50-megapixel 1/1.5-inch sensor and an f/2.8 aperture, is ideal for stable, detailed, long-range aerial photography. All three cameras incorporate Dual Native ISO Fusion technology and can stack up to five RAW frames to boost overall image quality. The cameras support 4K/60fps HDR video recording, and the 28mm Hasselblad main lens is capable of capturing 6K/60fps HDR videos. DJI claims a dynamic range of up to 16 stops for the main camera, while the 70mm and 168mm lenses deliver 14 and 13 stops, respectively. Additionally, the 28mm and 70mm cameras offer 4K/120fps video recording, whereas the 168mm telephoto camera supports up to 4K/100fps. All three cameras record in 10-bit D-Log, D-Log M, and HLG color profiles. One of the new, standout features of the Mavic 4 Pro is the Infinity Gimbal. It is capable of full 360-degree rotation and 70-degree upward tilt, letting users capture sweeping views of mountains, buildings, and other grand scenes. Flying the Mavic 4 Pro is safer and easier thanks to its six low-light, fish-eye sensors and dual processors. The drone offers omnidirectional obstacle avoidance in low-light conditions at speeds of up to 18 meters per second. It also incorporates real-time vision positioning and map construction technology, enabling it to memorize flight paths and return home without GPS. The drone boasts improved low-light performance and can keep moving subjects in sharp focus, even when partially obscured. Impressively, it can detect vehicles from up to 200 meters away, making it a compelling choice for automotive cinematography. Alongside the drone, the DJI RC Pro 2 remote controller features a bright 7-inch mini-LED display with four hours of battery life and 128GB of built-in storage for recording high-quality video. The standard DJI Mavic 4 Pro comes with 64GB of internal storage, while the Creator Combo version increases this to 512GB. The Mavic 4 Pro promises flight times up to 51 minutes and can transmit 10-bit HDR video from distances of up to 30 kilometers. (SD News) |
