What's the difference between mavic pro2 and a platinum?

Hi folks, im in the possession of a platinum..... in what way it differs from a pro2?

The Pro 2 is a bigger, more recent drone with some later technology.
But the big difference is that it has a much more advanced camera, with a sensor 4 times as big and a controllable aperture.
These are important features for people serious about their photography.

I have both, and l have experienced the differences first hand.

Here are my big ticket differences...
1) The M2P has a much more stable flight, especially in wind. Also, the flight controls are much more smoother and responsive regardless of the S-curve settings between the two aircraft. I think the IMU in the M2P is far more sensitive.
2) The M2P provides for a more accurate gimbal movement with numerical inclination feedback.
3) The M2P has a significantly more robust waypoint, and POI capability, incorporating the camera gimbal functionality. It also has other programming capabilities and functions beyond the MPP such as optical POI.
4) The M2P gimbal system is far more stable and less prone to wind influence. The MPP gimbal system is weak, exposed and prone to damage and failure.
5) There are far more cameras and sensors on the M2P the prevent collision.
6) As @Meta4 mentioned, the camera functionality is far more advanced, especially for low light conditions for capturing pictures. The variable aperture adds an additional capability for capturing video at the correct shutter speed within an appropriately selected ND filter.
7) The M2P camera processor has additional technology for capturing video in Hybrid Log Gamma, a high dynamic range 10-bit color profile. And then uses an HEVC codec for compression. If you are into videos like I am, this is great for creating HDR videos that Youtube will process with the Dolby Vision meta data.

Do you get the feeling that I prefer the M2P? However there is one aspect of the MPP that I prefer over the M2P. The MPP is hackable. I have altered my flight characteristics by reducing the Pan rate to 2 and the decent rate to 22 mph. So my MPP is simply a "flyer" rather than something I depend on for video/pictures.

Thanks for this information guys......i almost regret buying one. But i still love my drone for making good footage....i hope to post some after my trip to Norway. Thanks again....
