I have a Mavic 2 Zoom, my first UAV ever. I really like it, and got my Part 107 so I can use it at work, looking for towers in the distance from potential internet customer locations in the boonies of Ohio and West Virginia.
In my case, having the zoom lens where I can go to 96mm zoom via the video camera, then do screenshots with my iPad mini to show heading, height and what altitude is needed to clear trees is irreplaceable.
However, it was also expensive, over 2K with everything.
I bought a Mavic Mini so I could just go up, see how high trees are I must clear to get LOS to a tower and I'm not risking a ton of money to quickly do that.
Plus, I bought a 15" Milwaukee Contractor's bag - with a solid plastic base - that holds everything related to flying the Mini, including it of course, so it is a breeze to just grab that thing and take it with me daily out the door.
I am glad I got one. I put Pgytech folding landing gear on it, and I'm good to go in minutes anytime I want to now.
Take off and land it on my outstretched hand, it doesn't even get dirty.
