Curiosity: DJI Mavic 4 leaked with one Sony camera attached on it

Share

Our reader Wojciech noticed that on the latest leaked image of the DJI Mavic 4 you can see two cameras attached on it. UPDATE: One is a Sony camera and one is a Lumix camera (not two Sony cameras like reported before).

In the past, some companies have been caught using professional cameras to “simulate” the image quality of their products (see this recent example from Panasonic). An unethical behavior that I don’t think is being used by DJI. More likely they indeed think the new DJI Mavic Pro 4 image quality is very close to Full Frame cameras? What do you think about this?
