Can someone tell me is the Pro really that much better with video than the Zoom is?

Thanks!

The sensor in the pro is 4 x the size of the sensor in the Zoom.
That does a lot to improve image quality and low-light performance.

Technically it can be. 10bit DLog and HLG provide the opportunity for better grading in post with the larger sensor offering improved low light performance.

A quick heads up if you’re going to buy a Mavic 2, the M2P is going to be 1,379 USD on DJIs website for Black Friday! [emoji1303][emoji16]

I have both. In daytime, its really a tossup. I actually give the nod to the Zoom, because the video looks more impressive with its wider field of view at 24mm, vs the Pro's 28mm. Then the ability to zoom is incredibly useful to get closer to subjects without bothering anyone.

But at night, the Pro video is far much better, not even close. Depends how much night flying you plan to do.

That is a sweet deal

It's also possible the Zoom will be on sale.

Someone said the Tello boost was going to be $99 when just the Tello is normally $99. This announcement says Tello alone will be on sale for $69. So I suspect the preview isn't listing all discounts.
