I have the Mavic Mini and Mavic Air, both of which you've seen JM. The mini is a good, low-cost option, and the Mini 2 is out now which bumps the video up to 4k and some other improvements. Flight time is around 25 minutes, range is pretty much LOS. The Air (also an Air 2 out now) is great, takes great video and photos, flight time is around 25-35 minutes and range is allegedly 10 km, which is technically a violation of FAA regulations (supposed to maintain visual contact with the drone). The return-to-home feature is nice if you lose signal, although it is not a pleasant experience the first time, waiting to see if the $1,500 you just spent is actually going to return like it's supposed to, or if it's headed out over the Atlantic.
The DJI Mavic Enterprise is available with a thermal camera, for about the price of a decent used sedan. I'd love to have one, but I also like living inside the house.
One of these days when the weather is warmer, we can meet up and you can try flying them and see if you like them. I bought both with the "Fly More" kit, which includes 2 extra batteries and some other goodies that are very nice to have. Both will charge off USB-C, and it's pretty fast, you can pretty much fly constantly since by the time you go through the 3rd battery, the first is already charged.
Any other questions, let me know. Both the wife and I are going to get our licenses, her so she can use it at school, and me so I can make money doing it. Even if you make a few cents off Youtube videos of your drone flying, the FAA will come down on you to get a license. The Mavic Air has to be registered with the FAA, the Mavic Mini is 1 gram under the limit so that one doesn't have to be. All current decent-quality drones will not let you fly until they're registered.
