DJI Mavic 4 Pro: Extra Flight Time Comes with EU Weight Restrictions

DJI’s upcoming Mavic 4 Pro drone will offer an impressive 52-minute maximum flight time but may face regulatory challenges in Europe due to its weight, according to reliable DJI leaker <a href="/ru/”https://twitter.com/ositalv”/">OsitaLV</a>.

Weight and Regulatory Implications

The new flagship consumer drone is expected to weigh over 1 kilogram, potentially creating complications for European pilots operating under <a href="/ru/”https://dronexl.co/legal”/">current EU drone regulations</a>. This weight classification would place additional operational restrictions on users compared to sub-900-gram models like the <a href="/ru/%e2%80%9dhttps%3a//dronexl.co/%d0%b1%d0%b5%d1%81%d0%bf%d0%b8%d0%bb%d0%be%d1%82%d0%bd%d1%8b%d0%b5-%d0%bf%d1%80%d0%b5%d0%b4%d0%bf%d1%80%d0%b8%d1%8f%d1%82%d0%b8%d1%8f/dji/dji-mini-4%e2%80%b3/">DJI Mini 4 Pro</a>.

Extended Flight Capabilities

Despite the weight concerns, the Mavic 4 Pro appears set to deliver unprecedented flight endurance with up to 52 minutes of flight time and 48 minutes of hovering capability. This significant improvement over its predecessor suggests substantial battery and efficiency optimizations.

Release Timeline

The drone has now entered the Key Opinion Leader (KOL) evaluation phase, traditionally indicating a release window roughly one month away. These selected testers will put the drone through comprehensive real-world testing before its public launch, following DJI’s established product rollout strategy.

We are wondering if the drone maker will offer a lower-capacity battery option for the Pro to keep the weight under EU regulatory thresholds, which would increase its appeal in European markets. DJI has experience with region-specific adaptations, having previously released the SE JP in – a modified version weighing under 199 grams to comply with local regulations.

  1. There is no need for them to release a smaller weight drone, The Mavic 3 pro is a fan favourite everywhere in Europe, and that is already over the 900g.
    Yes people want to fly in built up areas and such, but more often then not, while the drones may be C1 and legally allowed to operate closer then C2 drones, the reality is that local regulations often stop drone flying anyway, or seriously prohibit it, so it doesn’t matter what weight drone you have, also this drone is bordering prosumer market at its price point, now you are venturing into GVC licences or EU equivalent, these allow for operations in built up areas due to advanced training.
    I personally want the full specced mavic 4 and no smaller battery configuration should it become a thing, only DJI will know how the Mavic 3 pro did in the UK/EU to decide if a mavic 4 lite is worth it
