Yorkshire UK | Mavic Pro is probably still best all round buy on a budget and prices have dropped now the Mavic 2 is out. That's because it is much better but probably has featuresyou don't exactly need.
Major improvements in the Mavic 2 are: Stronger gimbal and camera, in fact the whole thing feels more substantial so more likelyto survive minor crashes. Significant increase in battery life Quieter, especially compared to Phantoms - similar to ProPlatinum Optical zoom feature (on M2 Zoom only) - surprisingly useful and effective Better video and stills all round especially with Pro version which has larger sensor similar to Sony RX100 series. Much better low light performance video and stills
Drawbacks: Rather more expensive but cost is similar to Pro when it came out two years ago. Batteries are also more costly and hard to find at present. They do last longer so you might get by with two rather than three .Unproven new design. Though outwardly similar to mature Mavic Pro so much is new that issues may arise in real life and refinements will be made over time.
