As a long-time drone expert, I was lucky enough to be trusted with a pre-production version of the DJI Mavic 4 Pro. To be clear, DJI get no editorial control over what I write in my review, but I have had the advantage of spending a lot more time taking the new flagship drone out on missions before the official release date.
It's been a longer wait since the Mavic 3 Pro, which I reviewed in April 2023, but this is a more serious tool than most folding drones and so the line isn't replaced with the frequency of the consumer models. This new version brings some significant upgrades to the camera, including 6K video from the main camera, and the ability to tilt the camera for some very different creative effects.
