I bought the Xiaomi Mi 4k drone when it was on sale (promo code) at gearbest.com, and then went through a cash back site and paid with a cash back credit card to get it down to about $300. Then I bought a 2nd battery when it was on sale for $40. Flight time is about 25 minutes. Video quality is better than Phantom 3, and slightly worse than Phantom 4. The Mavic probably just edges out the Mi 4k in video quality depending on who you ask and your criteria.

The main strength of the Mavic is portability. It packs down to nothing, which makes it more likely to be carried when going on excursions.

Plenty of Youtube reviews out there, so I'll stop before this becomes a wall of text.
