Editorial summaries
DJI Mavic 4 Pro
DJI's Mavic 4 Pro is the 2025 flagship consumer/prosumer camera drone (Hasselblad triple-camera gimbal, 360-degree rotation, extended range and flight time on OcuSync O4+), announced May 2025. Two verified-vs-claimed points define its consumer story. First, on availability: it is not officially sold in the United States at launch due to the US import/regulatory situation, and is available in Europe and other markets, so there is no official US consumer price on DEPLOY's record. Second, on autonomy: the Mavic 4 Pro is broadly autonomous-capable (subject tracking, obstacle sensing, return-to-home) but is typically operator-piloted, not a self-flying autonomous aircraft. Aggregator framing that calls consumer DJI drones 'autonomous' overstates the verification posture: the operating mode is operator-piloted with autonomy-assist features. It is at production maturity (shipping outside the US).
Parrot ANAFI Ai
Parrot's ANAFI Ai is a 4G-connected professional micro-UAV quadcopter (launched June 2021), marketed as the first 4G-connected robotic UAV, with the Air SDK for onboard autonomous-mission code. It is a professional/commercial drone from the European (French) maker rather than a defense system. Its autonomy is operator-deployed: the Air SDK lets developers run autonomous-mission code onboard, but the aircraft is flown and tasked by an operator, not fully autonomous. DEPLOY records no reviewed consumer price on file; it is at production maturity.
