Do We Even Need a Mavic 4? - DJI Air 4 Early Rumors

Still going strong with the Air 2S. Especially now it has a C1 label

Billys next video in a week; “yes, you will need this new drone.,,Air 4!’

I’m going to wait for the Air 57

I bought my Air 3 in February. I find it hard to believe that DJi would give up on the Air 3 after less than a year. But if it happens it happens. I’m happy with my Air 3.

Great wishlist! Speaking of swappable payloads, I don't know if it would be technically feasible to design a Mavic with interchangeable cameras with, say, a thermal camera as well. So instead of having to buy 1 Mavic 4 + 1 Mavic 4 Entreprise + 2 RC Pro 2, one kit with multiple camera options would make so much sense? Cheaper and less resource extensive.

Love this video Billy, especially incorporating the wish lists of all the other industry professionals.

Awesome wishlist Billy, and video. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍

This may be more relevant to the Air 4 than the Mavic, but i really would like DJI to catch up with Skydio in tracking. As a solo motorcycle creator, this is really important to me. I still have the Air 2s because it can use Litchi and track via GPS. I really hope a better active track comes, but seems like no one really even wants it.

I love how you caught me in 4k while driving. Got me. Now that I've watched the video I agree with a bigger sensor or the ability to swap lenses and have a really sharp telephoto lens.

Internal ND filter

Yo- thanks~you shared incredible dji~ take care~

I tend to fly in the morning or at dusk when the lighting is best. If I could have one new feature it would be to have an integrated anti-collision beacon on the top of the drone and the ability to manually turn it on and off. (It'd be nice to also be able to turn the navigation/status lights on and off manually as well like you can with the landing light on the M4P.)

How about a better obstacle avoidance, how about follow the remote when in active track, how about a update home point button, how about a minimum altitude setting and a setting for automatic recording at lift off

Hey Billy you had the same idea as me with adding a small battery. I would love to see a small internal battery built in to the drone so you can hot swap external battery really quick without having to shut down the drone. I had this idea ever since I saw the big drones with dual batteries which makes it easier to hot swap the batteries. Thanks for all the knowledgeable videos you post. Your list for new features on the new drone and inputs from the other YouTubers are great ideas.

Great video as usual

Billy, i like the idea of SDK and Mechanical Shutter. As to usbc on the battery, I see no problem as is; just by another charging module. Ive always wanted a beacon on the drones to meet the FAA standard.

We need larger camera sensors.. X7 sensor in the Mavic 4 Pro, MFT in the Air 4, 1” sensor in the Mavic Mini 4 .. that’s all I would want and the accompanying better codecs.. and I still want that “Matrice Ultra”.. a photo and video centric version on the Matrice 30 to bridge the gap between the inspire 3 and the Mavic Cinema.. also with a X7 super 35 sensor and strong resolution/ video features.. Maybe use Sony’s 26mp sensor that is used in the a6700 and Fuji Xt series

The threat of a DJI Ban is making me not want to feed into any of this but, I like everything that has been mentioned. I would also like built in industry standard bright anti collision lights not just a beacon on top but built in strobes on the back and a solid red and solid green (position) lights for night time flying. It’s not a dealbreaker to add the lights but would be cool to have them built in. I use the 7x lens more with my aerial photography than I do with video especially if I want to really compress the shot. I want to be able to set up a Waypoints flight mission from the RC Pro before the flight much like you can do with the Mavic 3 Pro instead of wasting a battery by adding your waypoints on location. Longer battery length would be great too.

Still rocking my phantom 4 pro I bough it the same day of the release. Ill upgrade if they. 1- Lower the price of the flagship (remove expensive prores SSD upgrades) 2 - better dynamic range 3 - Agree for the no need of multiple cameras if they give a single better one with some kind of optical zoom or interchangeable lenses. Dream about a MFT sensor with 14+ stops of dynamic range 12 bit recording to a small NVME drive, internal compressed raw like the GH7

I love my Air 3. Ordered the day it came out and have around 40 flights on it, including one full speed crash into a tree it then tumbled into some sand. Hit hard enough to fold one of the rear arms in and scratch the heck out of my nd filter. Spent like 30mins shaking the sand out which eventually all came out put new props on, and she flew like it never happened! The other big thing is it never complains about wind like the mini 4 pro.
