Hasselblad is the Swedish camera name on DJI’s flagship drones, and the partnership is closer than a badge: DJI holds a controlling stake, which is why the camera work is integrated rather than licensed.

What it contributes is colour science and calibration rather than a different sensor — a claim that sounds like marketing until you compare footage from a Hasselblad-branded Mavic against DJI’s non-branded cameras. The difference lives in skin tones and gradation, not in a specification you can quote.

Where you meet it is the flagship line. The Mavic 4 Pro carries it, and our nine-month long-term review is the most honest account we have of what that camera is like to live with. The Mavic 3 generation carries it too, in an airframe that has since gone to work everywhere from glacier mapping to live-fire exercises in Latvia.

The branding has never extended across DJI’s whole range, and that is part of what separates the flagship tier from the Air and Mini lines. Every Hasselblad story lands in the feed below.

Frequently asked questions

What does Hasselblad actually contribute to a DJI drone?

Colour science and calibration rather than a different sensor. That sounds like marketing until you compare footage from a Hasselblad-branded Mavic against a non-branded DJI camera — the difference shows in skin tones and gradation, not in a spec sheet number.

Which DJI drones have Hasselblad cameras?

The flagship Mavic line carries the branding, including the Mavic 3 and Mavic 4 Pro. It has never extended across the whole range, which is part of what separates the flagship tier.

Does DJI own Hasselblad?

DJI holds a controlling stake, which is why the partnership is closer than a typical licensing arrangement and why the camera work is integrated rather than badged on.
