A new leaked video appears to show DJI’s upcoming Mavic 4 drone being tested inside the company’s building, according to posts shared by Jasper Ellens and Igor Bogdanov on X.
The Controversial Leak
The video, which appears to have been captured by flying a DJI drone around DJI’s building, shows what looks like a Mavic 4 and M4 Pro being tested inside. This unorthodox method of obtaining product information has sparked debate within the drone community.
“This is the most obvious example of DJI planting its own leaks as I’ve ever seen,” posted Gabe Shakour, questioning the authenticity of the leak. “You’re telling me someone flew a drone around the DJI building long enough to look in every window until they found the one that had a Mavic 4 in it?”
Product Details
According to Igor Bogdanov’s analysis, the footage potentially reveals several upcoming DJI products:
- DJI Ronin 5D
- DJI Mavic 4
- DJI RS 4 Mini
- An unidentified drone camera
Industry Response
Jasper Ellens, a known DJI leaker, suggested that previous leaks like “boxes at bestbuy and clear pics from early Chinese users” were more likely examples of planted information. He added cryptically that understanding the source of leaks reveals that “they despice [sic] DJI.”
Well hello #Mavic4. Someone searched the DJI building long enough to have a peek at the developers. First we see the big lens #M4pro getting charged up and later in the video there appears to be the normal M4 on a stand. Interesting. Cheers Jasper pic.twitter.com/tSf9VxXiaA
