There already is a video camera. Choose from a range of mounts, including L.

If it's using the Hasselblad colour science and menu system I would find it odd if under DJI brand rather than Hasselblad.  Plus it makes much more sense as a prosumer camera under Hasselblad, and they already have the design language to follow.  a boxy smaller version of the X2DII.

So has Hasselblad, in effect, joined the L-mount alliance?

No. The L-mount alliance consists of Leica, Sigma, Panasonic, Leitz, DJI, Samyang, Astro, Black Magic, Sirui, and Viltrox.

My comment was tongue-in-cheek, but doesn't DJI own Hasselblad? Though I assume that the bit of DJI that has joined the L-mount alliance is a different subsidiary company to Hasselblad - i.e. a sibling has joined, not the parent.

The L mount is probably not suitable for MF (throat width 52mm vs 61/65mm); therefore, it does not make sense for MF manufacturers to join the alliance.

We will find out if and when Leica launches a S4 with L-mount (as discussed in this thread).

Not when; if. I think a new  S mount would need an adapter for L lenses. Leica would not want to hamper their lens design by specifying a too restrictive mount. Don’t forget that they would have to shorten the register distance dramatically, from 50 mm to something like 15. That alone would call for a wide throat on an MF sensor, more wide than the present S one.

It will be interesting to see how they market this - DJI FF camera to compete in the lower-mid range or a Hasselblad FF camera to compete in the mid- high range. I imagine based on the rumours, it will most likely be at the level of the Samsung S9 / Sigma BF with a EVF, which makes it very attractive [and the camera those who want an EVF M may also be swayed to - like me....].

Leica has just launched its Hektor range of cine lenses with multi adapters for different camera mounts. DJI's Zenmuse X9 is designed to be used with interchangeable lens mounts. It's a trend.

Maybe Leica will do the same with the S4: a body plus a series of adapters for different lenses.

Maybe they will go like Fuji and skip the full frame. An APSC Hasselblad so I don't need to worry about my CL breaking? TFIC but... The more camera manufacturers join the alliance the better.

But it would make sense if Hasselblad were to launch a FF “Baby X2D2” with an L-mount.

I would not picture DJI-L as another Panasonic. ROI would be questionable given Panasonic and Sigma already cover most ground.

Maybe high end Drone or Robot oriented photography system?  Imaging a HB on Drone or on Robot, AND a LL on Drone or on Robot!
