DJI Mini 4 Pro
The DJI Mini 4 Pro is DJI's most capable sub-249g drone, the first Mini to feature omnidirectional obstacle sensing and the new ActiveTrack 360 subject tracking that follows moving targets through complex environments. At 249g it is FAA registration-exempt for recreational US fliers, yet delivers 4K/60fps HDR video and 20km O4 video transmission — specs that rival drones twice its weight. The 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor produces 48MP stills and cinema-quality video. True Vertical Shooting rotates the gimbal 90° for native portrait video, ideal for social content. ActiveShots intelligent flight modes include Hyperlapse, MasterShots, and QuickShots. Flight time is 34 minutes standard (45 minutes with the Intelligent Flight Battery Plus). The RC-N2 controller pairs with a smartphone for a lightweight, compact kit.
DJI Mavic 3 Pro
The DJI Mavic 3 Pro is the flagship consumer drone, featuring three cameras — a 4/3-inch Hasselblad CMOS main camera, a 1/1.3-inch 3x medium tele, and a 1/2-inch 7x zoom — providing a complete focal length system from 24mm to 166mm equivalent. The 4/3-inch Hasselblad sensor delivers DJI's highest color accuracy with the Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution (HNCS). APAS 5.0 omnidirectional obstacle sensing and Advanced RTH guarantee safe autonomous flight. The 43-minute flight time and 15km O3+ transmission provide professional-grade range. 4K/60fps is available on all three cameras. D-Log M and HLG color modes support professional workflows. A DJI RC screen controller is included.
