"Crazy though how much easier it is to fly M4P compared to M2SE. You'd think it would be harder since it is bigger but complete opposite. Its like a hot knife to butter."
"I fly the mavic 4 pro a lot though because we have a lot of pretty high winds at our ranch, and it is very stable in wind."
"the Mavic 4 Pro is so much easier to fly than the Mini 2 SE ... M4P just cuts through the air like hot knife to butter"

"The dynamic range is ridiculous on the mavic 4 pro. I honestly think the advertised 16 stops is pretty accurate. The stacked exposure videos are amazing"
"I kept them because I needed the DLOG and manual camera control and most importantly the adjustable aperture. ... The larger dynamic is normally only with DLOG but DJI has a unknown feature only on the Mavic 4 Pro which is called Daul Gain ISO Fusion or Fusion HDR. This hidden feature on the Mavic 4 Pro is only activated when using DLOG-M with auto everything or Auto ISO. I’ve used this hidden feature and it works great because it lets even the most inexperienced user take professional quality footage and now I only use DLOG-M for personal usage on the Mavic 4 Pro. ... I found that having an adjustable aperture gives me a better control of the exposure on a sunny day and also allows me to control what is in focus for my image. I don’t need to use filters to decrease the light on sunny bright days because I can just use a smaller aperture setting."
"Dual payload lidar and RGB/ thermal zemuse is the absolute GOAT!"

"I have the Mavic 4 Pro Creator Combo with what’s called Enhanced Transmission which the drone and controller comes with 4G/LTE modules that basically give you unlimited range. ... I’ve tested the range and it gives you full control of the drone anywhere you have cellular service."
"The 4G/LTE enhanced transmission will bridge the connection until Ocusync re establishes connection preventing RTH."
"There’s also the longer range of control and where I live. ... I have the version of drone with Enhanced Transmission Control which uses 4G/LTE giving us beyond visual line of sight capabilities which is also allowed for us. ... Even the regular drone has the new O4+ transmission system which allows you to fly over 10km away in CE mode."

"Mini 4 Pro is best for on-the-go use, and is extremely light and about the size of a wide angle lens. ... M4P is my travel drone"

"The Creator Combo has the H.264 ALL-I, built in 512gb SSD, additional camera settings not available on the regular version and the biggest thing I needed the most is the upgraded controller RC Pro 2 which has a much bigger and brighter screen for my old eyes."
"The biggest thing I needed the most is the upgraded controller RC Pro 2 which has a much bigger and brighter screen for my old eyes. ... The thing about The RC Pro 2 is you can control your drone without your hands blocking any part of your screen and the CPU is way faster than the RC 2."
"I’m getting older so I also needed the bigger screen controller. 😬 ... Because I’m older and can afford it. I got the Mavic 4 Pro Creator Combo because I really needed the larger screen size controller because my eyes aren’t what they used to be."

"And yeah, the results definitely showed some quirks. especially with the Mavic 4 Pro on POI turns and slight altitude inconsistencies. ... Even small barometric or GPS differences made the Mavic 4 Pro “dip” where the Mini 4 Pro stayed level."
I want a mavic 4 pro. My mavic zoom is getting tired lol.
If you really love photography, get the Mavic. If you really love FPV, build a custom FPV quad. If you love both, get both. If you only want one drone, a hybrid between those two, get the Avata2.
I just bought mine in Europe and brought in with me . Got me a mavic 4 pro creator edition for €2900 with the tax free. Cant beat it
Get a (used) Mini 4 Pro, or Air 3(S) to start and try - if you like it: Mavic 4 Pro
If money is not an issue, the mavic4 pro with the triple Hasselblad camera is the best option.
I got the Mavic4 Pro on Ebay from Japan a few days ago. No tariff. I will be watching for this too. I need a sub 250g unit.
Comparing a Mavic 4 Pro to a FreeFly unit is ridiculous. We have no professional, non-enterprise equipped drones in the US. VTOL fixed wing isn’t DJI’s domain, it’s professional/consumer drones, so you’re comparing apples to oranges. I agree, FreeFly systems are great, but a Mavic 4 Pro is more than capable enough for a lot of application, at a less than $5k price point. It can do photogrammetry, mapping, waypoints, has a very impressive multi-camera payload, etc. All of that to say, it’s not MEANT to be used specifically for one use case or another - DJI’s drones are a jack of all trades, and depending on the model, they can also be a master of one particular use.
This is how I dumb it down in my head. Mini, Air 3- equivalent to mobile phone camera quality. Air provides better wind resistance. Mavic 3/4- roughly equivalent to mirror less. Inspire- roughly equivalent to DSLR.
I bought mine off Amazon. But it came from DJI because I’m in Canada. The nice thing if you get a Canadian unit is they are FCC. They have the longer range.
I got the Mavic 4 Pro creator combo from Amazon.
Picked up a Mavic 4 Pro over the holidays for a really good price
