If it is true, I would say ouch for the recent Air 3 owners. Always good to get a new drone in the lineup but for me, I pass on Air service and wait for the next Mavic 4? Oh and let's not forget about FPV2.

All the speculation about new drones coming out from DJi makes me wonder what the new Air 57 will look like, cheers Len

My Controller 3 says that it works with the Avata 2 and FPV2. So yea I am exercising rare patience

I read an article just yesterday talking about an Air4 being released before a Mavic 4 and why DJI will do that. Will be interesting to see...

i know where you have read that, its from dronexl.co
that article its just a clickbait, there are just assumptions not based on any info

for anyone is interested in be up to date about future dji drones i will put here a little guide

most of real leaks in the last years come from asian and russian leakers
why? because the rest of the world have no info connections with dji

so dont read any article, dont watch any yt video if they dont have any new product image and/or its not from an asian or russian source

usually you will see leaks from western sources only when the release date of the product is very close and the stores have it in stock

here are some of the most active leakers lately

The main DJI leakers say it's fake.

Air 3 was released 9 months ago, this smartphone release scheldue of uncooked drones goes nowhere but to burn out the hobbysts, specially now that we are on the diminishing returns phase on anything drone related.

For example, it took more than a year for the M3 firmware to be completely polished, and it still lacks the Hasselblad camera profiles for the DNGs, and I'm sure the Air 3 is far from being polished, let alone a new Air 4.

DJI needs a japanese competitor to settle the things, but due to the lack of interest in drones and the worldwide overlegislation around them, that seems pretty unlikely.

Now that the M3 don't emit RID/Aeroscope I'm going to stick with it until something <900g with more optical zoom or bigger main sensor gets hacked, and that can be 2-3 years from now easily. If it breaks I'm just going to pick another M3 second hand unit and install the hacked firmware.

DJI will never cannibalize their Mavic sales by giving the Air series three cameras….

In those fake photos, it is very clear that they just stuck a Mavic 3 Pro ND filter to an Air 3 using some sticky tape and called it an Air 3S

My prediction is that going forward, at least for the near future (next 5+ years), the Mini will have one camera, the Air will have two cameras, and the Mavic will have three cameras.

@davidarmenb @DARKSeifer @mavic3usa for a cleaner and more informative topic can we delete all the posts about the fake pics?
the posts from #7 to the last one have to go, including this one
theres nothing much to read about some fake pics
if you agree just delete your posts

 

[Droning on and on...]

I say delete every post that doesn't contain real info about a future Air 4 model.

IOW, delete the thread.

DJI released the Air 2 in April 2021 and the Air 2S in April 2022, so it's conceivable that they would release a follow-on to the Air 3 in a year, which would be July/August of this year.

The length of time between the Mavic Pro and Pro 2 was 23-24 months.

The length of time between the Mavic Pro 2 and the Mavic 3 was 39 months. However, DJI released the Mavic 3 Classic just 12 months after the original Mavic 3 and they released the Mavic 3 Pro just 5-6 months after the Mavic 3 Classic.

DJI Mavic - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

So it's not inconceivable that they would release a newer Air drone this summer or the second half of the year.

Maybe they got access to 1-inch camera modules with adjustable aperture and mechanical shutter around the time they released the Air 3 so they could integrate the new components.

Just depends on where the sales are, whether they've slowed down since the last couple of releases. Probably the Mini 4 Pro and Avata 2 will sell pretty well for 12 months after release.

But it could be that sales of the Mavic 3 Pro and Classic have slowed down since a year ago.

Air 3 has been out 10-11 months now.

I'm certainly hoping to see something new since I've held off, still hanging on to my Mavic Pro 2.

I have an Air 3 and would consider getting an Air 4 if they put a better primary camera and it works with the O4 controllers I already have. I wouldn't mind one bit if it used the same batteries as the Air 3. A refreshed camera wouldn't add much weight and the flight times shouldn't drop by much.

And when a Mavic 4 Pro is released, I would get that too. I have had the need a few times for the higher telephoto lens.

 

[Droning on and on...]

@MotoSavy that would be a tough one. 1" main sensor and keep the 1/1.3" telephoto. Even though I just got my A3 and have pretty much only test flown it, I'd strongly consider upgrading.

I think O4 has some shelf-life right now, so I'd expect anything coming out in the next 12-18 months to be O4, and support added to the current RC2 and N2 controllers. And any of the more expensive gaggle (RC Pro? Smart?) that support O4 now.
