DJI Mavic 4 Pro 512G° - All-Intra
comes for free with the Inspire 2 or INSPIRE 3
The Mavic 4 Pro drone is equipped with a Hasselblad M4/3 CMOS main sensor camera with a 28mm wide-angle focal length. It’s a beautiful bird with 2 other independent lenses.
The 70 and 168mm focal lengths are even better than those of its predecessor, the M3pro. They’re invaluable for inspection missions, but also for taking shots that would be impossible with a wide-angle lens! This drone is also ideal for confined spaces, indoors, in the city, or as a complement to ground-based cameras.
It can also be fitted with a VR360 Insta360 X5 camera, at no extra cost.
A major innovation: the gimbal rotates through 360°, enabling 6K vertical shots to be taken, as well as 70° low-angle shots!
Focal lengths available on Mavic 4 Pro :
- 28mm on M4/3 sensor in 6K 24/25/50/60p
- 70mm on 1/1.3-inch sensor in 4K at 24/25/50/60p

Discover the different EASA scenarios valid from 2026 in France and Europe: Specific STS-01, STS-02, Open A1, A2 (urban or populated area) & A3 in France.
It is important to note that the former French DGAC scenarios (S1-S2-S3) are no longer authorised and that drone pilots must have obtained either CATS for flights in the Specific category (STS01 & STS02) or BAPD for one of the three Open categories, namely A1/A3 and A2 for flights in populated or urban areas). Our pilots have obtained all these diplomas and qualifications!
IMPORTANT: Each scenario requires the use of a class-approved drone for that scenario (C0 to C6). We mention this class on the specifications sheet for each of our drones.
New Drone Regulation from 2026 in France & Europe
Our drone pilots hold RPCT and RPCC A2 & A1/A3 licences.
Our drones are certified in the following classes: C0, C1, C2, C5 and Unclassified.
Drone-Pictures offers its drone services in the following scenario categories: STS-01; A2; A1/A3.
For flights in the STS01 specific operational category, the drone pilot must hold a CATS licence and operate a class C5 drone, always within visual line of sight. This scenario allows flights in cities or populated areas, by day or by night, with a drone weighing less than 25 kg equipped with a parachute kit and a circuit breaker, such as our Inspire 3.
Flight in agglomeration and populated area
VLOS
Drone Classe C5
For flights in the STS02 specific operational category, the pilot must hold a CATS licence and operate a class C6 drone. This scenario allows for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) or visual line of sight (VLOS) flights in unpopulated areas only, with a drone weighing less than 25 kilograms, and over a maximum distance of 1 kilometre if the pilot is alone (up to 2 kilometres if there is an aerial observer) stationed every kilometre.
Flight outside populated area and agglomeration
BVLOS & VLOS
Drone Class C6
For flights in category Open A1 (Open), the pilot must hold the A1/A3 permit and operate a class C0 (<250gr) or C1 (<900gr) drone, always in sight. This scenario allows flights outside urban or populated areas, during the day only, with a drone of less than 900 grams like our FPV drones Avata 2 and Neo 2.
Flight outside populated area and agglomeration
VLOS
Drone Class C0 ou C1
For flights in category Open A2 (Open), the pilot must hold the BAPD A2 and operate a class C2 drone (<4kg), always in visual line of sight (VLOS). This scenario allows flights in urban or populated areas, during the day only, with a C2 drone such as our Mavic 4 Pro, Matrice 4E and Mavic 3 Pro drones.
Flight in agglomeration and populated area
VLOS
Drone Class C0 to C2
For flights in Open category A3 (Open), the pilot must hold the A1/A3 license and operate a class drone C0 (<250gr), C1 (<900gr), C2 (<4kg), C3(<25kg), C4 (<25kg) or Classless (<25kg), always in sight. This scenario allows flights outside urban or populated areas, during the day only, with any drone of less than 25 kilos, more than 150m away from residential, commercial, industrial, or recreational areas.
Flight outside populated area and agglomeration
