How much wind can the DJI Mavic 4 Pro handle? DroneChecker marks it Do Not Fly above 43.2 km/h (27 mph, 12 m/s) in sustained wind or gusts, with a Caution line from 33 km/h (21 mph) sustained or 36 km/h (22 mph) in gusts.
DJI's current top-of-line consumer drone, released May 2025 with a 100MP Hasselblad sensor, a 360°-rotating gimbal and double the transmission range of the Mavic 3 Pro it replaced.

Manufacturers publish one figure: the maximum wind speed a drone is rated to resist. The Do Not Fly line above is based on that figure for the DJI Mavic 4 Pro. The Caution line is DroneChecker's own margin below it, because a drone flown right at its limit has nothing left in reserve.
Two speeds are checked separately. Sustained wind is the steady average; gusts are the short peaks above it, and they are what tends to push a small drone around. A day with a calm average but strong gusts can be harder to fly in than a steady breeze.
The camera and transmission upgrades are the headline news, but wind resistance is unchanged from the Mavic 3 — it isn't automatically safer to fly in poor conditions just because it's the newer, heavier drone. Check the exact thresholds the same way you would for any model.
With the same wind rating as the Mavic 3 and a much longer transmission range, the Mavic 4 Pro tends to go further from home, so wind matters at the far end of a flight as well as at take-off. Wind can differ noticeably between where you launch and where the drone ends up, especially across a valley, a coastline or a ridge.
If the forecast sits close to the Caution line, treat it as the ceiling for the whole flight, not just the launch. Look at the gusts as well as the average, and leave a battery margin for the flight back.
