I've got the P2 so it's time for an upgrade. I love what I'm seeing with the p4pro. But the Mavic is really portable. My P2 case is one of those gigantic plastic trunks. I've got a back pack but it's not ideal. Really the P2 is just not portable and the P4 looks like more of the same. You can't easily take it with you hiking or on the Jet Ski. Basically it's flying out of the back of your car.
The Mavic is so small you could tuck it in the front of your jet ski (with enough padding so it doesn't get smashed up) or stuff it in your back pack. So that's a huge plus for the Mavic. And it's a bit cheaper.
Clearly the P4Pro is the superior drone in the specs department. But I always say "The best camera is the one you have with you". I've taken a pile of great pics with my 5MP Google Glass simply because I have it with me . I can just wink to snap a quick hands free pic. My daughter's 20lb Nikon with the huge lens, tripod and gigantic case takes way better pictures but she never has it with her.
On the other hand, what's the point of a small drone if a gust of wind sends it spinning away and you never see it again?
Perhaps the Mavic is the better drone because you are more likely to have it with you? Or is it not really up to the job?
What do you guys think? I'd also like to post this in the Mavic forum but I see it's read only at the moment. Any Mavic owners care to weigh in?
