Buying call

Buy the Mavic 2 Pro only if you find one cheap and want a 1-inch camera with aperture control: reviewers praised its superlative 4K video, 20MP raw stills, adjustable aperture, all-around collision sensors, quiet and stable flight and compact folding design. Skip it if you want current features, because newer DJI drones beat it. 60fps is limited to 2.7K, internal storage is small, and noise creeps in at higher ISOs.
