    I use a phantom 4 pro, picture quality is pretty good & it's a lot of fun to use. Haven't used a mavic though. You are restricted a bit on areas to use them, most NP etc don't allow drones. I mainly use mine on the coast

    I fly a mavic pro. Have previously had a Phantom 3 and other cheaper models. Love the mavic. I alternate between using it for images and videos. It shoots RAW which I don't believe the mini does. Other than that I think range and speed are the biggest differences.

    I have a Mavic Pro. My advise is go for the Mavic Pro or Mavic Air. Check out some features comparison charts. There are plenty online.

    If you want to use drones I would recommend identifying your key areas you wish to use it. There are a number of laws surrounding drone use, and pending where you want to use it may suit different weight categories. Sub 250g opens up a lot more possible areas to fly legally, however will be slower and not generally have the same stability.
