Precisely! That, to me, is the "Mavic Killer" that the P4 still retains if you're trying to make video rather than use a drone as an accessory while hiking/backpacking/etc... a nice large screen that fits into the RC. I actually use an iPad Air2 so I can have the most screen real-estate I can and still have the device fit on the RC bracket. I really love being able to see the details of the shot the drone is getting without squinting!
I personally think that DJI freaked out when the Karma was announced. My theory is that they had the Mavic (and likely it's follow-on) developed - or nearly so - and threw their marketing plan in the trash when they got some feedback on the market's reaction to Karma. I'd never buy a Karma - simply because I don't like the fisheye "Go Pro" look for the video I take. However, for a large number of potential customers, that doesn't matter. In rolling out Mavic in a knee-jerk reaction to Karma, I suspect DJI really hacked off a ton of dealers who had just purchased an inventory of P4's and are now looking at selling them at break-even or at a loss because the vast majority of the customers will want a Mavic. Similarly, they hacked off a bunch of P4 owners who DO use it in a way where Mavic's smaller size would be a real plus.
We don't have $750 P4's today... but I suspect we will soon. If everything they say about Mavic is otherwise true, looking at its specs, it's a folding P4 in pretty much every respect. If I didn't have a P4, I'd take a really hard look at the Mavic and except for the device-holder on the RC, I'd probably give the remaining nods to the Mavic. Dammit!
I would be surprised if there weren't aftermarket mounts out soon, if not out already, to attach a tablet to the mavic controller. Not sure how balanced it would be with an Air2, but only time will tell how good or functional/ergonomic those mounts will be.
