Wow, would hate to do that with mine. It almost looks like it can't be reasembled!

Was there anything that said Hasselblad on besides the cover ?

Unless this was a knackered camera, I hope that, if you separated the sensor from the lens unit you took notice of where ALL the shims went!!!! I striped a dead M2P camera, it had been in the sea for a while and there must have been a dozen shims in between the lens and sensor unit.
I assume the M3 will have a similar set up.

Where is the 1/2" CMOS sensor and lens module for 162mm lens?

You can see the green coating on the lens, I suspect that's where everyone's "green dot" lens flare is coming from.

I wondering how much cost the camera alone with gimbal.

$1,000-1,200 US.

You can see here how the combination of coatings produces a lot of green light. It's not a terrible lens, considering it's mission in life and the type of camera build it is. A setup with swappable lenses or completely swapping the gimbal/camera as Autel did with Evo 2 series would have been, uh... expensive! Good thing they kept the price down on these. During development I remember hoping they would create a solid gimbal swap system beyond what Autel had with better data connection for easy, dependable field swapping. I bet DJI has some regret not going that route, vs the mismatched dual setup we have that will always be a bit weird on some level. I realize once they were committed to this design it had to run the course. Right now they would benefit from some deep SmartPhone makers multi-camera design and engineering. It's too late for the Oscar Madison/Felix Unger lenses. They are the odd couple, now and forever.

New plan: Considering the Evolve 2, and all ITS issues. So much potential there. But to outfit it right, I am going deep into Inspire 2 kind of money and possibly beyond. But after $3600 on Evo 2 Pro/V2 Smart Controller that is a long way from where it should be and is getting just about ZERO development cycles, and the M3 at $4200 so far, NOT including another $250 for Care Refurb, with all of the Mavic 3's swing and misses, I need a plan c. Not sure Evolve 2 is the answer, but it could be. The remote build and features alone bury both of my "wait, it will be much better when they fix all the stuff that needs to be fixed!" drones.
