How does DJI’s aerial photography lineup compare?


Looks like it’s almost time for the Mavic 3 Pro to step aside for the Mavic 4 Pro. DJI’s lineup just keeps getting crazier.

Isn’t the Mavic 4 Pro leaked already and coming out soon?

@Indra
There’s a lot of talk about leaks, but until DJI announces it officially, nobody knows for sure. If I had to guess, the release might be late March to April, right before summer kicks in.

Why does DJI keep pushing out so many new products? What’s the rush?

When are they making a Mini 5 Pro? They need to get on it already!

Do you mean the Mini 5 Pro or do you think the Flip is going to replace the Mini line?

I don’t think anyone really gets DJI’s strategy. It’s all over the place—Neo, Mavic 3 Pro—it feels chaotic.

@Taylor
It’s definitely just part of their marketing.

Yeah, I meant the Mini 5 Pro.

I’m really hoping the next Mini has a 1-inch sensor.

Why isn’t the Neo on this list? It’s a solid option too.

I’m sticking with my Mini 3 Pro for now. DJI’s new stuff is cool, but not enough to make me upgrade yet.

Same here, but I’m getting into FPV flying now. If you love drones, trust me—FPV is where it’s at. My Mini feels boring after flying FPV.

What’s with the fake claims of 48MP and 50MP cameras? It’s misleading, especially for a photo comparison.

Is the Air 3S better than the Mavic 3 Pro?

Camera-wise, they’re close, but the 3S is newer tech. The Mavic 3 Pro is still the flagship because of the three cameras. If budget matters, go for the 3S. But if the Mavic 4 drops soon, it’ll probably blow the 3S out of the water. I have a Mavic 3 Pro and a Mini 3 Pro, and both take great pictures. Honestly, gear isn’t everything—skill matters more.

@Vega
I’ve had the Air 2S since it launched, and it’s been flawless. I thought about upgrading to the Air 3, but the 2S has that 1-inch sensor, so I stuck with it. The Mavic 4 rumors are tempting, though. I hope it’s not ridiculously expensive.

The Flip looks just like the Mini 4 Pro but cheaper. Plus, it has built-in prop guards!

We still don’t know its software features. No Remote ID and probably missing MasterShots or QuickShots. Tracking might be iffy too.
