With all the drones I own, and wanting to get some footage in Hawaii, it was hard to decide what to take with limited packing space. Here's what I settled on...

I really want to do some FPV. So, Avata 2 seems an obvious choice. However, I came up with a better overall solution after finding a hard case specifically for the Neo, but with space for Goggles 3, MC3, and RC2. While the camera isn't as good, I ultimately went this route because it gave me very similar (if not slower) FPV flying, either sticks or MC3. I have the other flexible options with the Neo for simple selfie shots with our friends as we travel around Oahu, and there's limited phone control if I need it. Yes, I'd much rather have the Avata 2, but the versatility of the Neo is worth the compromise. And, the camera does pretty well in bright sunshine, which is the conditions I'll be using it in any way.

However, I expect I'll want to take some much better stills, and perhaps some video, during the early and late golden hours. Remember that this new case holds to RC2 as well? Packing the Mini 4 Pro in my suitcase and bringing one plus size battery, I'll have that covered. Takes so little space folded up. What a great design.

This is one of those times I'm grateful to be a DJI Fanboy, with so many options to choose from. The Neo continues to impress me with its utility. For anyone considering a similar situation, here's the case I got from Amazon...
