Drone question. Mavic Pro vs Karma which one and why

[Xstreamws]

All I'm considering a NEW drone either a DJI Mavic or GoPro Karma. I really like this class of drone for its portability ease of use, battery life etc. I'm sure if 10 people chime in I will get 10 different answers but I really want to hear it from you guys which one and why. Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Dji mavic. To me it wasn't even a question. The mavic just has so many more features that make it worth it, follow me, tracking, battery warning and return home stuff that isn't quite there in the karma. Also the mavic is a lot smaller when folded up. I've had mine in some strong winds and it didn't budge.

The only thing with the karma is you get a GoPro and a steady cam which would be pretty cool!

I have the Karma, and have played a lot with mavic.
My opinion, If you only want the drone get the mavic. If you are already heavy in GroPro world or are looking to use it for things other than just flying go Karma.
I like both, ended up with Karma bc I wanted the camera and have a lot of GoPro stuff already.

We are very heavily invested in GoPro, and rely on it for personal and professional use.

We love the HERO 5, it is an amazing camera. We also really like the Karma stick and all the other GoPro accessories. Overall, the Mavic is the better UAV platform for now, and is what we use for highly portable aerial. The GoPro camera platform gives you a little more flexibility if you want to do color grading, etc. GoPro footage also has a specific look, depending on how you set things up.

The Mavic and all its accoutrements (other than charger) are actually in the pic below in the little Pelican case. It is super portable.
