Hello and good day moggie999. Thank you for choosing DJI and thank you for reaching out. Both the DJI Mavic Pro Platinum and the DJI Phantom 4 Pro are great consumer drones. I will be posting a link where in you can compare both the overviews and specifications of these drones and other DJI consumer drones as well. I hope this can help you. Thank you.

The camera in Phantom 4 is better than Mavic pro platinum.

It all depends on the level of video and image quality you are looking for. If your getting paid to create videos then you might want the Phantom 4 Pro. If its strictly hobby flying then the Mavic will suit you just fine. If you go to YouTube you can do a search for Mavic and Phantom comparisons and you can see the difference for yourself. You can also just watch some footage on this forum from the Mavic and Phantom side and see for yourself.

I used to have the P4P and now have the Mavic 2 Pro. My main change was the compactness of the Mavic compared to the P4P. Its nice to have a smaller footprint with the Mavic. Good luck and welcome to the forum.
