DJI has introduced a number of products this year, including a fresh action camera named the Osmo Action 5 Pro, which is currently priced at $349 on Amazon. Besides that, the company has also refreshed its consumer drone lineup with the Air 3S and Neo models. Nevertheless, the Mavic 3 series continues to be the flagship drone of the company, remaining popular more than three years after it was first launched.
New Developments in Drone Technology
Recently, various hints of potential new models have emerged online from well-known leakers. It appears that the Mavic 4 was seen alongside the Mavic 3 Pro. According to the information from those leaks, it looks like the Mavic 4 series may come with a round camera housing, marking a change from the existing Mavic 3 series design.
Insights from Recent Footage
On the other hand, some new footage shared by @OsitaLV, @JasperEllens, and @Quadro_News suggests a different story. The video shows what is believed to be a crashed Mavic 4 Enterprise, highlighting a more rectangular design for the drone's camera housing that protects three lenses. Sadly, there are no further details available about these cameras, but it’s possible to see several sensors mounted on the top and bottom.
Stronger Build and New Controller
Interestingly, the upcoming drone seems to have particularly robust arms, which usually would bend in the event of a crash. Additionally, @Quadro_News has revealed the first image of a new RC Plus controller, named the RC Plus 2. There are a few design changes between the two controllers, although the general layout of the RC Plus 2 resembles that of its predecessor. It’s expected that the RC Plus 2 will be released alongside either the Mavic 4 or Mavic 4 Enterprise, which might also come equipped with bigger batteries compared to the older models. As things stand, it appears that DJI might delay the launch of either drone and their accessories until early 2025.
