DJI Mini 4 Pro

DJI is rolling out a new firmware update for its latest sub-250-gram drone, Mini 4 Pro, today.

Drone pilots in the European Union who are frustrated with the 120-meter altitude limit built into DJI’s latest Mini 4 Pro operating system now have a chance to soar considerably higher using a firmware update – though they’ll need to take action fast and be certain they’re ready to stick with their decision.

The DJI Mini 3 Pro has proven to be an incredible li’l drone, which means the new Mini 4 Pro has to work extra hard to justify why it’s worth the upgrade.

World-leading camera drone maker DJI has unveiled its new sub-250-gram Mini 4 Pro ($759), a product whose official rollout is generating excitement among company fans despite the abundance of revealing images and specs leaked on it over the past few months.

We spoke too soon. Just when it seemed like scooping DJI with its own teaser for the September 25 Mini 4 Pro release couldn’t be topped, yet another leak about the not-merely-rumored drone now provides additional, crystal-clear photos of the craft in bucolic settings.

To get an idea of just how deep online sleuths have gotten into drone giant DJI’s product development kitchen, after weeks of sharing detailed photos and specs of the company’s rumored Mini 4 Pro, leakers have now beat it to the punch yet again by uploading the teaser for the unveiling event ahead of schedule.

So, DJI has just filed paperwork with the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a new drone joining the Mini series. The official release of DJI Mini 4 Pro onto the FCC database indicates that the tech giant’s latest sub-250-gram drone could hit the market as soon as this month!

The official launch date is definitely getting near. Photos of a DJI Mini 4 Pro retail box have leaked online, revealing the purported drone’s biggest features and specs. Here’s what we know so far…

This week on the Weekly Buzz discussion, we delve into the recent surge of unexpected leaks. We finally have some details about the Air 3, and there’s even a peculiar rumor circulating about a Mini 4.

Yesterday, we came across a few leaked photos that purportedly showcase new DJI drones. While it’s expected to see more photos of the Air 3 as we approach a possible announcement, the photos of a potential Mini 4 came as a surprise. Especially since the release of a new Mini drone would deviate significantly from DJI’s typical product timeline.
