Spark
Pros
  • fast deployment
  • great for orbit selfies because of Activetrack
  • video quality looks still cinematic far away
  • never fails even under 25mph+ winds in Sport mode

Cons
  • photo quality isn't too great far out
  • video feed is garbage compared to the better drones
  • low battery life

M2Z (Mavic 2 Zoom)
Pros
  • Uses all 24mm
  • sharp images
  • great for inspections, the optical zoom makes it feel you are 10x closer and the image quality is sharp when observing material close by that other drones cannot reach
  • faster and quicker than the M2P, does not tilt at high-speeds and quick maneuvers, insane range, works everytime
  • long battery life

Cons
  • Night time usage is pretty garbage due to the sensor size
  • slow deployment, unfolding arms carefully and removing the gimbal cover

M2P (Mavic 2 Pro)
Pros
  • 20MP 1"
  • amazing night time image captures nearly every time, sits stiller than most drones
  • best colors due to Hasselblad Natural Colour Solution
  • long battery life

Cons
  • can only do 4k30 not 60
  • crops in than the other drones
  • sharpness at range even at +3 is still not that great
  • gimbal tilts at high-speeds and quick maneuvers

P4PV2.0 (Phantom 4 Pro V2.0)
Pros
  • 20MP 1" Mechanical shutter
  • Uses all 24mm
  • C4K60
  • Sharpness at range is always there
  • best for mapping
  • 2x Compass 2x IMU for reliability
  • long battery life

Cons
  • does not sit still most of the time, night shots at most of the time a miss
  • have to install and remove 4 props prior to launch and packing
  • takes a long time to get GPS lock, have to do the GPS process all over again when turning it off and back on

Inspire 1 Pro (X3)
Pros
  • fastest drone DJI offers
  • props don't come in at 60mph+ after it has stabilized
  • it's size and look
  • ability to mod the firmware to suit your needs above what was offered by DJI from the factory
  • Option to swap to a Z3 and a thermal XT (Inspire 2 cannot do)
  • very fast GPS lock
  • amazing at long-range sweeping shots

Cons
  • most susceptible to magnetic and compass interferences while in flight more than the later drones though it corrects itself in a few seconds or less
  • 4 props to install and remove prior to launch
  • low battery life

The smoothness of the Inspire 1 Pro (X3) watching it on the Note 10 after I modded the firmware is incredible!!!  DJI is incredible.  I still have my drone behavior back in 2013-2015 where I wanted to make my own to do this but I couldn't get the settings and hardware right so I gave up.

More like a bash quad, a Mavic Pro.

The newer versions have limits against breaking 500m but the older ones you can do it by changing a few parameters, it's just you would lose signal w/o some kind of booster.

The Inspire is just on another level.  I got it as a 3rd person quad but it's performance after turning the settings makes it more ideal than all the other drones I have in certain situations.
