Key Features Revealed

According to OsitaLV’s posts, the Mavic 4 may incorporate several notable enhancements:

• Simultaneous display of flight assist live image and map using the VIO camera
• RTK support for enhanced positioning accuracy
• Mavic 4 Cine Premium variant with 2TB on-board SSD
• Main camera featuring 14 stops of dynamic range
• Advanced dual controller system similar to the M30 series
• Triple-eye visual positioning system
• Optimized gimbal with -90° to +80° tilt range

Professional-Grade Capabilities

The inclusion of RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) support particularly stands out, as this feature has traditionally been reserved for DJI’s enterprise-focused drones. This high-precision positioning system could make the Mavic 4 an attractive option for professional surveyors and mapping specialists.

The impressive 14-stop dynamic range camera system suggests DJI is targeting professional cinematographers and content creators who demand superior image quality in challenging lighting conditions.

Storage and Control Innovations

The mention of a 2TB on-board SSD for the Cine Premium variant represents a significant storage upgrade for professional users who need to capture loads of high-resolution footage without frequent media changes. Although, DJI will hopefully have found a way to speed up data transfers so that your Mavic 4 can return to the skies sooner. The DJI Mavic 3 Cine with the 1TB internal storage took way too long as Philip Bloom pointed out here in this video.

DroneXL’s Take

The potential inclusion of RTK support in a Mavic series drone could represent a significant shift in DJI’s product strategy. While traditionally featured in enterprise models like the Matrice 300, bringing this technology to the Mavic line could democratize professional-grade capabilities. The advanced visual positioning system, coupled with the extended gimbal range, suggests DJI is focusing on inspection capabilities that were previously limited to their enterprise offerings.
