If you are wondering about what else can you do with your drone, this is what I did DIY:

Spend a week of converting my drone into a remote-controlled cable cam system.
This is my first generation DIY cable cam. The second generation is under design

Hopefully DJI will not enter into cable cam market :-)

In fact, just had the second thought. As you can see from my DIY video, I used half of my drone kit to do the cable cam work. If DJI can just utilize half of the Mavic mini, use its foldable arms, but just two arms, and the 3 axle gimbal + the camera, that will be a perfect weight for the cable cam! User just setup the wiring themself and everything will be done!

Thank you. This was my first version. I made another light version 2 and quality was much much better:
