The Mavic 4 is expected sometime in 2025 and more and more leaks from the most reliable triumvirate have shown a design that appears to feature a "tennis ball" camera housing. Wait – there's nowhere to attach ND filters... but there's a very good reason for that...
You can sense the date is getting closer as some of the wild speculation seems to be dying away, while other – very interesting – specs seem to be settling. No longer, for example, is anyone talking about the sensor getting bigger than the 4/3 CMOS (anything larger would, as industry watcher Joseph Blake points out in his video, seriously threaten to cannibalize the Inspire 3).
