The DJI Mavic 4 Pro is here — and yes, you can finally get it in the U.S. (from the right sellers)

Usually when DJI drops a new drone, I’ve had it in the air weeks before the announcement. That wasn’t the case with the DJI Mavic 4 Pro, which launched back in May.

With most of DJI’s consumer drone launches — including recent product drops such as the DJI Neo, DJI Flip and DJI Air 3S, I have it a couple weeks before everyone else. I test it, fly it and really get to know it so I can publish a full review for you the moment the drone is announced. (And yes, I send it back to DJI after about a month of testing.) I want you to know if it’s worth dropping big money to be an early-adopter of DJI’s newest products!

But the DJI Mavic 4 Pro launch was different. When it was announced in May, the drone wasn’t available in the U.S. market — and according to DJI at the time, there was no clear timeline for when (or if) it would be.

The good news? These days, U.S. drone pilots CAN finally get their hands on the DJI Mavic 4 Pro. It’s now shipping from major U.S. retailers including B&H Photo and Drone Nerds.

After months of uncertainty, the DJI Mavic 4 Pro is now available for purchase and shipping to U.S. customers through authorized retailers. You can buy it now from:

  • B&H Photo – $2,700 for the standard DJI Mavic 4 Pro
  • Drone Nerds – Also stocking all configurations

While you still can’t order directly from DJI’s U.S. website, these authorized retailers have solved the availability problem that plagued the May launch.

Why the delay? Politics and tariffs The reasons for the initial unavailability were complicated, and DJI wouldn’t say outright why the Mavic 4 Pro couldn’t ship to the U.S. at launch.

Tariffs were certainly one of the issues at play. But perhaps more critically, politics, trade tensions, and increased scrutiny over Chinese tech products all factored into the mix. You may recall the issues with the DJI Air 3S getting delayed in U.S. customs — some readers still reported difficulties getting that drone months after launch.

I’ve heard from sources at DJI that the U.S. remains a critical market for them, and they’re committed to bringing products here when they can. The workaround through third-party retailers isn’t ideal, but it means U.S. pilots can finally access what might be DJI’s most impressive folding drone yet.

Mavic 4 Pro: an aerial camera built for cinematic storytelling

The Mavic 4 Pro promises to unlock aerial creativity in totally new ways. On paper, it’s DJI’s most ambitious folding drone yet. Here are some key DJI Mavic 4 Pro specs:

  • A 100MP Hasselblad main camera
  • Dual telephoto lenses (70mm and 168mm)
  • An all-new “Infinity Gimbal” that rotates 360°
  • Up to 51 minutes of flight time
  • 30 km HD transmission range
  • Improved low-light obstacle avoidance

The standard DJI Mavic 4 Pro is selling for €2,099, including tax. That price in euros converted to U.S. Dollars would be about $2,400. But of course, it’s not being sold in the U.S. Though, B&H Photo does have it for pre-order in the U.S. for $2,700. However, it’s unclear when it’ll ship.

Triple camera system

As was the case with the DJI Mavic 3 Pro, this drone has a triple-camera system. With the 4 Pro, you’ve got the following three focal lengths in one drone:

  • 28mm (wide) with the 100MP Hasselblad 4/3 CMOS sensor and variable f/2.0–f/11 aperture
  • 70mm (medium tele) with a 48MP 1/1.3″ sensor
  • 168mm (long tele) with a 50MP 1/1.5″ sensor and optimized gimbal stability

Each camera supports 4K/60fps HDR video, while the Hasselblad goes up to 6K/60fps HDR and supports 10-ray starbursts for artistic effects. All three lenses feature Dual Native ISO Fusion, RAW frame stacking, and consistent color profiles via 10-bit D-Log, D-Log M, and HLG.

Pro-level video options

  • 6K/60fps HDR video (Hasselblad main cam)
  • 4K/120fps slo-mo (main + medium tele)
  • 4K/100fps (telephoto lens)
  • Up to 16 stops of dynamic range

The 360° infinity gimbal

The new 360° rotation Infinity Gimbal is perhaps what makes the Mavic 4 Pro stand out more than anything.

Ut enables full 360° camera rotation and 70° upward tilt. For photographers who like the style of in-camera Dutch angles, you can make it happen. You can also just take higher-quality vertical shots. That’s because you now have full-resolution vertical capture, rather than the old style of just cropping a horizontal image.

Again, I haven’t flown it myself, but I’m particularly excited to see what creators outside the U.S. do with this.

Safer, smart, longer flights

As I predicted in my DJI Mavic 4 Pro wishlist piece, this drone has longer battery life than both the DJI Air 3S and the Mavic 3 Pro. Here are some key specs:

  • 51-minute max flight time
  • Top speed of 90 kph (56 mph)
  • Range: up to 41 km (25.4 miles)
  • Transmission: 30 km with O4+

It’s also smarter about obstacle detection, especially in low light, thanks to six fisheye sensors, dual processors, and real-time mapping that enables return-to-home even without GPS.

And for filmmakers? ActiveTrack 360° now works in low-light and can track subjects through obstructions like trees or bridges.

RC Pro 2 Remote

Alongside the drone, DJI is introducing the RC Pro 2, which also offers some mega improvements to the flying experience beyond the drone itself.

  • 7-inch Mini-LED screen (rotates for vertical video)
  • Built-in mic + DJI Mic support
  • HDMI port
  • Up to 4 hours of battery
  • 128GB internal storage

Evidently it also powers on immediately when you open it, which seems pretty slick.

Fast charging and smart batteries

DJI Mavic 4 Pro Parallel Charging Hub

With the 240W Power Adapter, you can charge one battery to full in 50 minutes or use the Parallel Charging Hub to charge three simultaneously in 90 minutes. It also turns into a 100W power bank for your other devices.

Storage and transfer

The standard drone version includes 64GB onboard storage, while the Creator Combo takes things up a mega notch. It comes with 512GB high-speed storage and support for ALL-I 4:2:2 video encoding.

DJI’s QuickTransfer lets you wirelessly transfer files at 80MB/s without even powering the drone on — just wake it from the DJI Fly app.

How to get the DJI Mavic 4 Pro in the U.S.
