DJI's latest teaser for a product event on May 13 looks to be the long awaited Mavic 4 drone. We're seeing a picture of the drone which has been leaked by a number of the most reliable DJI followers and a rolling video effect, which would represent an exciting new feature for the flagship drone.

We can't say for sure this is the Mavic 4, but the first comment I saw on the video was 'Mavic 4' and no one had done anything to correct or delete it!
In both the YouTube and X (née: Twitter) accounts, the same date and time: May 13 at 1:00PM GMT / 8:00 EDT.
What else can you see in the clip? A three-camera front, sporting the Hasselblad logo, almost identical to the one seen in the leaked images, and with a close-up on what is either a mechanical, or - at the very least - a five-leaf aperture adjustment.
Only the main camera is next to the Hasselblad logo – the two smaller cameras (presumably equivalent to the Mavic 3 Pro's 3x and 7x cameras) might, again, not be 'Hasselblad' quality.
The 'tennis ball'-like design that leads to the ability to rotate, which has been well-trailed by leakers, including the usually-reliable Jasper Ellens.
Quick question: who actually asked for a DJI remote that could do #portraitmode (vertical screen)? Or is this something @DJIGlobal thinks we want to have, just like the 360 degrees turning gimbal? Cheershttps://t.co/0M3wA2eKv8 pic.twitter.com/aYxw5lVrKFApril 27, 2025
Another expected spec is a significant amount of internal memory – leading some to suggest that drones might not need memory cards any more.
We should know more, including the price and final specs, by lunchtime on May 13.
