Hi all!!
I just sold my Mavic Air Fly More Combo first version and now i'm looking for a new DJI produc.
I use it for two years but at the end I sold it because the poor battery life.
For this year I used the drone for holiday videos and hiking videos, i never liked the color of footage, my friend has a Mavic Pro (1st version) and i prefer that footage.
In the last monts, me and my friend started to use the drone for photogrammetry, we use his Mavic Pro (first version) and my MA.
We use DJI GS PRO app so i need a 100% compatibility drone with this app (for example MA does not support it).

So, i need a buying advice.. I don't want to spend 1k euro for a new drone, my budget is around 700/800 euro.
I'm looking also for a second hand product, maybe on amazon. So the Mavic Pro 2 is too much for me.
My question is... For my use, do you think is better the Mavic Pro first version (maybe the Platinum version) or the Mavic Air 2?
The MA2 is newer than MPro, so maybe it is better to choose a newer product, but i think that doesn't support tha GS PRO.
I checked on dji website and i found this abou the GS PRO App:
DJI GS Pro is compatible with the following DJI aerial platforms and flight controllers:

Mavic 2 Enterprise, Mavic 2 Pro, Mavic 2Zoom, Mavic Pro, Phantom 3 Standard/Advanced/Professional/4K,

Phantom4, Phantom4 Pro, Phantom 4 Pro V2/Advanced, Phantom 4 RTK,

Matrice 200 V2, Matrice 210 V2, Matrice 210 RTK V2, Matrice 210, Matrice 210 RTK, Matrice 100,Matrice 600/Pro, Matrice 200,

Inspire 1/Inspire 2, A3, N3

Compatible cameras:

Mavic 2 Enterprise, Mavic 2 Pro, Mavic 2 Zoom, Mavic Pro, Phantom 3 Standard/4K/Advanced/Professional,

Phantom 4/Pro, and Zenmuse X3, X5, X5R, X4S,X5S, Z3, Z30, XT, XT2 and Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual.



So...

Can you help me with this big choise?
Thanks

P.S. sorry for my english, i write from italy..

As you are in Europe I would consider the Mini 2, because the new EASA rules the <250 grams allows you to fly over people and close to structures where the heavier drones without EU classification are much more limited.

Thank you.
Yes I seen also the Mavic Mini for that reasons, i like that drone, the battery life is very good but it can be used with app like GS Pro with automatic fly?

No SDK yet for the Mini 2 so limited to the Fly app for the moment.

The Air 2, because it came with updated technology if you compare it to the Mavic 2 Pro, also includes slow-motion video, it provides a longer flight time and its battery life is better.

Thank you for your reply.
The flight time and battery life is similar (Pro 1 and Air 2), but now I think that is impossible to find a new battery for Mavic Pro, so I necessary need a Fly More Combo version.
the second reason in favor of the pro platinum is the Cinema color for 4K videos, I don’t know if it is the right words, maybe it calls style.

Thank you.
Do you know if MA2 has the cinema colours? Or the D-Cinelike profile only?
