I am equipping new guys for my next month trip, so I plan to add a drone to record my journey, but for a long time,  I can not decide which brand drone to choose.

In general, there are 4 options currently，but who can help me make a choice. HELP ME!!!



option 1：Autel Evo    USD $1,030  https://www.diagmart.com/products/autel-robotics-evo-drone-foldable

option 2：MAVIC PRO PLATINUM USD $999  https://store.dji.com/product/mavic-pro-platinum

option 3： Mavic 2 Pro  USD $1,499

Hi, thanks for the inquiry. We're sure that our valued DJI forum members would provide their best recommendation to help you decide to purchase the drone. You may consider using DJI drones comparison via this link: https://www.dji.com/products/comparison-consumer-drones for you to check the differences of your DJI products. Thank you for your support.

I only see three options?

Most will depend on your budget and your 'needs'.
I can't speak about the autel as I have zero experience with them.

If you need the 'best' low light / dynamic range performance and have a big budget, the Mavic 2 Pro is your best choice.
If the budget is a little less, the Mavic 2 Zoom is a perfect alternative with a huge advantage over the M2P (it can zoom!)
This is giving you something unique because you can keep a bit more distance and still get your subject framed
The low light performance + dynamic range might be a little less, but if you mainly fly in daylight conditions you probably won't notice that a lot.

And for the budget option : the Mavic Pro Platinum is (still) a very capable drone. I have the Mavic Pro and used the extra cash to buy the fly more combo.
Never looked back since.
Ok, the camera is not as good as the M2P, but still I can get very decent images / footage with that bird.

Good luck with the choice!

There is not the 'best' drone
You should buy a drone depend on your need it for and budget just like what as Montfrooij said on #3  

I have to agree with Maddox. I would figure out what I would use the drone for and then find the drone for the price. If the new drones are out of your price range, look at refurbished drones DJI stands by their refurbished equipment.

Great tips though I'd go for the M2P for those three

Its totaly depend on your need and requirement.

For budget go for Mavic platinum ,for amazing video go for the mp2

It will be based on your need and requirement. I am having the best drone with camera which captures pictures and video footage with high quality.

Get a Mavic Mini, Mavic Air, or Spark

For the optimal performance for professional use, browse models that achieve high altitudes, have the highest-resolution cameras and remain level despite wind resistance. The photographs and video captured from drones upload easily to your computer or tablet.

I suggest you watch this video first before you choose. https://youtu.be/9Xje3cqnG-Q  The guy here takes you through a bunch of drones and basically all the drones are very similar.

Personally I love Feichao Mini Drone Quadcopter M9 because it is lightweight and portable.
