Key facts

Price

~$2,199

Type

Consumer camera drone

Camera

Hasselblad 5/1.25 CMOS

Retail price

$2,199 (standard with RC 2); $3,889 (Fly More Combo with RC Pro)

Camera cost (est.)

Hasselblad 4/3 CMOS 20MP — in-house via DJI subsidiary Hasselblad; camera module estimated at $80-120 (based on Mavic Air 2 teardown ratios applied to higher-end sensor)

Gimbal

3-axis mechanical stabilization, in-house DJI design

Motors

In-house DJI brushless motors (propulsion semiconductors are sole exclusive DJI-designed parts per Fomalhaut)

Battery

In-house DJI LiPo 3S, 5000 mAh; BMS ICs supplied by Texas Instruments (external)

Flight controller

In-house DJI flight controller + image processing SoC

Est. BOM cost

~$350-450 (extrapolated from Mavic Air 2 $135 BOM at ~18% of $749; Mavic 3 Pro at $2,199 retail × ~18-20% = ~$400-440)

Est. gross margin

~80%+ on hardware (BOM ~18-20% of retail); net margin ~40% company-wide after R&D, software, distribution

iFixit teardown

iFixit has repair guides for DJI Mavic Air 2; Mavic 3 camera teardown documented on MavicPilots forum. Camera assembly is most expensive repair component

Company revenue (2024)

CN¥50 billion (~US$7B) reported; Wikipedia lists CN¥80B (US$11.5B) for 2025

Net profit margin

~40% (2024 report) — nearly double Apple's, exceeding Hermès and POP MART

Market share

~70% global consumer drone market (90%+ as of June 2024 per Wikipedia)

Vertical integration

DJI designs/manufactures cameras, gimbals, motors, batteries, flight controllers, and propulsion systems in-house. 70%+ of BOM is in-house. External: battery management ICs (Texas Instruments), RF amplifier/noise cancellation chips (Qorvo), GPS receiver components (smartwatch-grade), camera sensor components (smartphone-grade)

BOM-to-retail ratio

~18-20% component cost vs retail price (vs 30-35% typical for smartphones). DJI produces drones at roughly half the materials cost of competitors

Key external suppliers

Texas Instruments (battery management ICs), Qorvo (RF signal amplifiers, noise cancellation), commodity semiconductor suppliers for 80% of 230+ components (shared with smartphones/PCs)

In-house components

Flight controllers, gimbal systems (3-axis mechanical stabilization), brushless motors, camera modules (Hasselblad-branded via DJI subsidiary), batteries (Li-ion/LiPo with integrated BMS), propulsion systems, image processing SoCs, OcuSync transmission systems

Teardown source (Mavic Air 2)

Fomalhaut Techno Solutions (Tokyo) + Nikkei Asian Review, Sept 2020. 230 components, 80% commodity/off-the-shelf, total parts cost ~$135 for $749-$799 retail drone

Teardown source (Inspire 1)

Advanced Structures India (ASI), should-cost analysis using xcPEP. 350+ parts, 184 features mapped, manufacturing cost ~₹1,63,052 INR (~$2,000), 80% of cost from electrical/electronic components

IP portfolio

185+ UAV-related patents in Japan alone (3x nearest competitor). Software, R&D, and patents drive retail premium over low hardware cost
