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.

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.
