Seemingly in the same day, all the leakers jumped on to share the latest leaks of DJI’s yet-to-be-announced Mavic 4 Pro. So let’s break down what people are saying and just how packed DJI’s new flagship really will be.

DJI leaker Igor Bogdonov shared the first look at the DJI Mavic 4 Pro‘s Fly More Combo, a staple bundle from the company that provides the drone and everything you need for long flying sessions. This is the first leak of its kind for the Mavic 4 Pro; leaked product shots are a good sign that the release is coming soon.

Thursday, the Florida State Senate took up SB 1422, a bill to restrict drone flights over critical infrastructure and allow individuals the ability to bring down drones using “reasonable force” if they are flying over their property. However, the body substituted the less controversial House bill, passing it unanimously and sending it to the Governor.

A new Florida bill that is set to be voted on by the state’s Senate could put drones flown in the state at risk of being shot down or brought down using “reasonable force” if a person believes their privacy is being violated and the drone is below 500 feet.

This week DHL began holding shipments being imported into the United States of values over $800 due to US tariffs. With DHL being a major logistics company for shipments out of China, some drones could be affected.

With spring officially here, you may be thinking it’s time to finally get into or serious about this drone flying thing. However, there’s a wide range of drones you could purchase from the leader of the pack, DJI. Some are due for upgrades and others have various versions, so which DJI drones should and shouldn’t you buy?

Also, read the ending to have a better chance of not getting stuck with long delivery delays.

Drone delivery might still feel futuristic in many parts of the world, but in one Irish town, it’s already part of everyday life. Manna Aero, a Dublin-based startup, is now completing up to 80 autonomous deliveries per drone a day and it’s not just grocery runs or takeout orders. In one case, a customer even had a hot coffee dropped off by drone.

A new bill that was quietly introduced in the Senate this month could reshape how, where, and even if you can fly your drone in the U.S. Introduced as the Drone Integration and Zoning Act (S.1249), the bill seeks to allow local governments the right to regulate drone flights below 200 feet.

It has been a quiet few weeks on the Mavic 4 Pro leak story, minus a few videos of the drone out in the wild, which are old news at this point. But the previously rumored release date should be near, right? I mean, we’ve only been waiting for this drone to finally hit store shelves for several months at this point. Well, I hate to break it to you, but it seems like you’re going to have to wait a little bit longer for DJI‘s new flagship camera drone.

As someone who shoots a lot of mobile video — whether it’s for YouTube, social media, or just testing the latest gear — I’m always on the hunt for tools that can help me create better looking footage. We recently got our hands on the Hohem iSteady M7, a 3-axis smartphone gimbal designed to bring pro-level stabilization and tracking to your smartphone setup. After using it for a few weeks, we think it might be one of the best smartphone gimbals we’ve seen yet.

PolarPro has entered the camera bag chat with the addition of its RoadRunner camera bags in various sizes and designs. The company was gracious enough to send over a few samples for us to try and share our thoughts with you.

It what might be the craziest redesign in DJI’s product history, the latest leak shows product images of the bundles the Mavic 4 Pro will come with. Included in the “Creator Combo” is a newly designed RC 2 that reminds me a lot of the old Phantom 4 Pro flight controllers from back in the day.

Unlike what we expected to see from our assumption of electronic ND filters, per a leaked Mavic 4 Pro store listing, the electronic filter coming from DJI will snap onto the front of the massive camera payload like previous models. This was one of the few first details seen in what will be one of many early released store listings for the Mavic 4 Pro.

It’s been several months since DJI’s Mavic 4 Pro hit the FCC database, and from what we can tell, we could be seeing a release in late April if leakers are correct. However, some now think the drone will be delayed, but why?

Known as Zips, Zipline’s “Platform 2” delivery system takes a step forward to bring drone delivery to the home, a dream of all drone delivery companies on the market. Will this be the one that finally succeeds? MKBHD dropped a video this week checking out their testing site, showing how the new system works.

In a world where access to GPS on the battlefield can win or lose a fight, Maxar is working on a solution for when having it just isn’t an option. Called Raptor, the product uses satellite mapping to build a 3D globe that can serve as an alternative to GPS.

Laws regulating the purchase and ownership of drones have skyrocketed over the last couple of years thanks to movements to ban Chinese-made drones from the US. The popularity of drones has also added other regulations, like where you can and can’t take off and land or where you can operate one from. However, Connecticut might have one of the most restrictive, and potentially unconstitutional, laws not in the works, but passed!

The next product in DJI’s Power lineup, the DJI Power 2000, has appeared in the FCC database. While details about its features are still limited, the launch is expected to occur soon, as the FCC listing typically signals an imminent release.

The Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) announced earlier this month its partnership with drone show company Nova Sky Stories to bring a fleet of 10,000 drones over the skies of Abu Dhabi. This will mark it as the largest fleet to ever perform a drone light show.

It looks like we have a new leaker coming onto the scene, and they have some wild claims about what the Mavic 4 Pro will be able to do. While it seems like we should take this with a grain of salt, it looks like we have our first price leak for the Mavic 4 Pro, and yes, it will likely be more than before. But was that really a shock?
