DJI has released the DJI Mini 4 Pro drone camera, which it describes as ‘the ultimate companion for adventure enthusiasts’. The drone is equipped with a 1/1.3-inch 48MP sensor featuring Dual Native ISO Fusion. It also has a 24mm-equivalent f/1.7 lens, and can shoot RAW photos and 4K/60p HDR video.
The drone can also shoot slow-motion 4K footage at up to 100 frames per second. Other video features include enhanced noise reduction algorithm in Night Shots mode and True Vertical Shooting, a special mode optimised for social media and smartphone video. Like the DJI Mini 3 Pro, the Mini 4 Pro weighs just 249 grams (8.8 ounces) and so can be legally flown in many countries and regions, including the US where its sub-250 weight means it does not need to be registered with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
