We love drama! Gives us something to moan and complain about.So far, the Mavic 4 Pro roll-out seems to be very smooth and without drama.
I noticed that myself. But only when carrying the drone in my hand around while on, no gimbal issues when flying though. whatever this is, it was not doing it with previous firmware. Anyone else noticed this?Anyone having problem with the Gimbal stabilization after the update.
Haven't tried it flying yet, but holding the drone and moving around the gimbal jumps slightly(noticeable in video) while making a click sound. Can even feel the jump while holding it.
It's not a mechanical problem/somethign stuck in the gimbal. When sitting on the table all axis and rotation work normally and smooth.
Mavic 4 Pro already has the same Explore Mode as the Mavic 3 Pro, which is now a hybrid digital zoom from 1x to 24x across all three cameras while shooting continuous video.I appreciate that automated change of cameras (not lenses) while recording video. It's quicker and simpler than manually stopping one camera, switching to another camera, and starting that camera. I do miss the explore function on the Mavic 3 Pro.
My poor Air 3S (joking) but I still love that drone!Mavic 4 Pro already has the same Explore Mode as the Mavic 3 Pro, which is now a hybrid digital zoom from 1x to 24x across all three cameras while shooting continuous video.
The aircraft that never received the Explore Mode is the Air 3S, where it would be very useful to Explore from 1x to 9x across both cameras in video. Oh, well.
Thanks for the detailed write-up! On another note, have you, by any chance, noticed those gimbal "jumps" and clicking when drone is on and you carry it around?I noticed and applied a Mavic 4 Pro update today v01.00.0300.
The update — aircraft firmware v01.00.0300, along with new versions for both RC controllers and the DJI Fly app — introduces several features aimed squarely at pilots who value flexibility and cinematic control.
Among the biggest changes is the ability to switch between focal lengths during video recording, both in Normal and Slow Motion modes. This means creators can seamlessly shift perspectives mid-flight without stopping to adjust settings, a clear win for dynamic storytelling. The update also brings dynamic Home Point support when paired with the DJI RC 2 remote controller, which allows the drone to update its “return-to-home” location as the pilot moves — especially useful during long tracking shots or mobile filming setups.
Another major upgrade arrives for vertical shooters. The firmware adds lossless and cropped vertical video recording options in Portrait mode. That means TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts creators can now capture cleaner, platform-ready content without the compromises of reframing footage later. DJI has also thrown in the usual “fixed some known issues,” though details remain vague.
One note for pilots: after installing the update, camera settings reset to default, so you’ll want to revisit your exposure, color, and resolution preferences before taking off again.
