DJI Mini 4 Sparks Curiosity with Leaked Photo

Drone enthusiasts are buzzing with anticipation as a new photograph reveals what could be the DJI Mini 4. This captivating glimpse emerged earlier today when Jasper Ellens posted this photo on his Twitter account.
What captures immediate attention in the leaked photo are the vertical feet on the front two arms of the drone. This feature is familiar to anyone acquainted with the DJI Mini 3. Interestingly, the Mini 3 Pro lacks these feet, fueling speculation that we might be catching a sneak peek of the DJI Mini 4 during a product test flight instead of what would be its more capable brother, the DJI Mini 4 Pro.
Drawing comparisons from the Drone Industry, one can’t help but note a resemblance to the Parrot Anafi AI in the design of the Mini 4. Notably, the two obstacle avoidance sensors, proudly positioned on the left and right front corners, bear a striking similarity. Crafted to be wide-angle and slightly aimed sideways, these sensors promise to guard the mini drone against unexpected collisions.
Furthermore, the rearward-facing obstacle avoidance sensors are nestled on the back of the forward ones, which could hint at a near-360-degree obstacle avoidance feature.

With the DJI Mini 3 Pro’s launch just over a year ago, it raises the question – are we ready for a successor already? If so, what innovations would make the DJI Mini 4 a worthy successor? Enhanced obstacle avoidance? A leap in low-light photography and videography capabilities?
