Mavic is very far ahead in terms of functionality compared to Phantom 5, given that Phantom 5 does not exist. If you compare Mavic 2 Pro to Phantom 4 Pro, then the only arguable advantage the latter has is the mechanical shutter. No problems with stability, and despite being lighter the smaller aerodynamic cross-section actually helps Mavic to fight the wind. Not sure what advantages P4 has against Mavic wrt ease of use. I sold my P4P and got Mavic 2 Pro and consider that a big upgrade.

Quite false. Although the resolution isn't different, the camera sensor in the phantom is twice the size and has better optics on it. In terms of photography, it's a no-brainer.

We still use a Mavic however due to the ability to upload a CSV of coordinates and camera angles, which is a much better fit for the photogrammetry we use it for.

I am hearing that often from Mavic Pro users, but both video quality and stability in stronger winds is lacking comparing to P4 series. It's good you are happy, many people like me aren't.
