Pro, Zoom, or None ... that was my question.
It helped that I already have a Phantom 4 Pro Plus that I love and am still learning about and getting better as a pilot and a photographer.
After looking at all the advantages in the Pro camera, I had to admit that the whiz-bang features were either (a) something I'd rarely use, or (b) something I already had on my P4P+.
I'm a very careful (probably too careful) pilot, and since I tend to keep my distance, I've wanted a zoom feature ever since I got my P4P+.
I've also wanted more portability, as my daughter's boyfriend flies a Mavic Pro and I'm always envious of his little carry bag as I'm hauling around my enormous Pelican Case that protects my P4P+ and all the extras I carry with it (landing gear, 5 batteries, charging station, controller, etc.).
Bottom line:
My Mavic 2 Zoom gets here on Thursday. I'm VERY excited.

Bottom line:
- I wanted better portability to bring my drone to more family events and cool Oregon locations.
- I didn't think the Pro camera features were something I'd be good enough to leverage any time soon.
- I've always wanted a zoom feature.
- I'm very comfortable with the high-end features (and camera) in my P4P+.
- I'm financially blessed to be able to keep my P4P+ ... buy the M2Z ... and still afford groceries.
