The price is irrelevant because this is will be purchased with government dollars. This drone is not for you and me; it is intended to be used against you and me.
Just read the actual product page. They are targeting military, law enforcement, and surveillance applications. These guys have a heading on their product page titled “paramilitary,” for fuck’s sake.
These are more like https://half-life.fandom.com/wiki/City_Scanner
…For now.
Can’t hold back spending taxpayer money when shopping for tools to keep the taxpayer down. /s
Economies of scale is most definitely at play here as well.
TL;DR - They’re making a lot less of them (compared to DJI) so they have to charge more per unit.
That does NOT justify 6x more.
“A fine price to pay for freedom!”

Does freedom take apple pay?
The U.S. version certainly does.
Nearly 5k!!!
Holy cow.
To be fair Dji makes drones for gov agencies etc as well like the Dji matrice 4t thermal, priced similar to this but yeah AI, thermal cameras, 3d mapping etc.
Taking design cues from the flying dildo, I see.
This looks like a self inserting butt plug and I want one.
That’s the true cost of decades of protectionist demagoguery disguised as “national security”.
DJI gets designated as a threat to national security
What a deal!
