I sold my Inspire 1 Pro when I heard about the Mavic 2 Pro. The 10 bit color sold me as I had the hardest time making the 8bit video from the X5 match the stuff I was shooting with the C200 and C300mk2.
I just got back from a trip to the Bahamas and I couldn't be happier with how the drone worked out. First of all it's super small and doesn't require a massive pelican case like the Inspire. This alone was enough to sell me on the Mavic. I was even able to bring the Mavic with me on simple little scouting runs and it took no time at all to set it up and fly. This would never have been possible with the Inspire as it's too **** big and takes to much time to setup. Because it's so easy to setup I was able to fly twice as often and get twice the footage and photos that I normally do. The added flight time (almost 30min) was great too. I was able to stay airborne and direct shots much longer than I could with the Inspire. Oh, and I was also able to carry more Mavic batteries with me (4 total) as the Inspire I can only travel with three batteries total due to airline flight restrictions.
Some other great things about the Mavic:
I just couldn't be happier. Here's some images from the shoot. I've skimmed through the footage and it looks great too. I'll post that stuff once the campaign launches.

Some other great things about the Mavic:
- It's also super easy to launch and catch in your hands in sketchy conditions like boats.
- Intelligent flight modes and quick shots are awesome!!! They make difficult shots super easy to pull off.
- Hyperlapses are dope.
- Camera is totally superior to the x5.
- Did I mention how small and lightweight it is. My god, this thing has changed how often I fly on shoots now.
- Internal storage saved my butt one flight when the mSD card was left in laptop bag.
