Dà-Jiāng Innovations Science and Technology Co., Ltd (Chinese: 大疆创新科技有限公司; doing business as DJI) is a Chinese technology company headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong. It manufactures unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), also known as drones, for aerial photography and videography, gimbals, flight platforms, cameras, propulsion systems, camera stabilizers, and flight controllers.
According to an article in The Economist in 2015, DJI is the leading company in the civilian-drone industry.[3]

A possible scenario:
Move all production to low cost Asia, if it isn't already there, and leave all development, research and marketing in the "first" world where the market is.
Perhaps a Hassi managed by DJI wouldn't have quite the same mystique it once did (like rosewood handles) but it would have the production capacity to meet demand for a MF that real people could actually afford.
