With DJI the list is not that long right?
1 Mavic Mini (probably not for you)
2 Mavic 2 Zoom or Pro (depends on what you want, for video the Zoom might give you more options because you can create that '50mm' effect)
3 Phantom 4 Pro (more weight, but a bit better in image quality if you believe the studio comparisons)
4 Inspire series (best for almost everything, but expensive and huge)

Thanks for your advice, Montfrooij. I've narrowed down my list to the Matrice 200 platform. Though it has short flight time, it meets all of my other criteria. The Inspire won't handle some camera options I would need!

If double camera setup is not a requirement, opt for single configuration and TB55 batteries. This will provide approx. 30 min flight time with ability to swap cameras accordingly to a mission type.

Thanks Matt, makes a lot of sense. CG would not be so critical! Good advice.
