DJI Mavic 4 Pro Now Available on Walmart Through Third-Party Sellers Amid US Restrictions

The DJI Mavic 4 Pro, a triple-camera drone launched on May 13, 2025, has appeared for sale on Walmart.com via third-party vendors, providing US pilots an alternative route to obtain the device despite its absence from official DJI channels in the country. This development follows its global rollout earlier this year and comes as enthusiasts navigate import challenges.

DJI Mavic 4 Pro’s Advanced Features Set New Standards

DJI equipped the Mavic 4 Pro with a 100MP 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad main camera that supports 6K/60fps HDR video and offers 15.5 stops of dynamic range for detailed captures. The triple-camera system includes 28mm, 70mm, and 168mm focal lengths, enabling wide-angle shots, portraits, and telephoto imagery. Pilots benefit from features like Dual Native ISO Fusion and RAW stacking up to five frames, which enhance image quality in varied lighting.

The drone’s Infinity Gimbal allows 360° rotation and 70° upward tilts, facilitating dynamic movements for aerial storytelling. Flight time reaches 51 minutes, ideal for extended scouting or time-lapse work. Safety features include omnidirectional obstacle avoidance and 0.1-lux night vision, supporting confident operations after dark.

Transmission relies on the DJI O4+ system, delivering 10-bit HDR video up to 30 km (18.6 miles). The included RC Pro 2 controller features a 7-inch Mini-LED display and collapsible design for quick setup.

US Availability and Pricing Dynamics

US consumers cannot buy the Mavic 4 Pro directly from DJI’s official store due to escalated tariffs on Chinese-made drones and customs restrictions over supply chain concerns. Tariffs have risen to as high as 170%, though temporarily capped at 30%, making official imports costly.

Third-party sellers have stepped in, listing the drone on Walmart.com. Options include the Fly More Combo with the DJI RC 2 controller and three batteries for around $3,190 USD, while the base package with one battery sells for about $2,590 USD. Similar listings appear on Amazon, where prices can reach $4,099 USD for combos, reflecting hefty markups from global rates.

This raises questions about warranty coverage, as imports from sellers in neighboring countries like Canada or Mexico may not qualify for full DJI support, and buyers could face customs delays or additional fees.

Implications for Professional and Recreational Pilots

Building on that, the Mavic 4 Pro’s capabilities appeal to professionals needing high-resolution imagery for surveying or filmmaking, while recreational users gain from its extended endurance and ease of use. However, regulatory shifts in the US, including potential drone bans, could influence long-term ownership and operations.

The Mavic 4 Pro’s advanced collision avoidance and return-to-home functions, independent of GPS in some modes, address safety trends amid increasing airspace regulations. Economically, the markups—stemming from tariffs—may deter budget-conscious pilots, pushing them toward alternatives or waiting for policy changes.

This availability on platforms like Walmart expands access but underscores broader industry tensions between innovation and trade barriers. Drone operators should verify seller credibility and comply with FAA rules when flying the Mavic 4 Pro in US airspace.
