DJI products go transparent – nice! Could we see a see-through drone like this?

DJI Romo.

Gray. That's the color – or, more accurately, shade – that I've come to associate with drones after years and years of flying predominantly DJI drones because DJI own over 70% of the market share. There is no reason for all drones to be a variant of gray; even DJI used to go for a bit more variety (white for the Phantom and first-gen Inspire), and the DJI co-developed Ryze Tello also offered a few options, but time has moved on.

But the new DJI Mic 3 is transparent, as is the DJI robot vacuum seen for sale in China. Wouldn't it be cool to see a drone like that? Is there any reason why DJI hasn't been a bit more creative with the colors of its drones? After all other companies have managed it – Autel might now be pulling out of the consumer market, but it made waves with bright orange drones which shone out like a construction worker's high-vis jacket.
