I asked, and the agent verified it was insured for the full amount shown on the receipt copy I gave her. And that was an eBay receipt! No problem insuring with SF in Florida. I've had several drones insured with multiple agents over a period of the last six years. It's NOT specific to...

The DJI RC firmware v01.00.0300 appears to be part of a broader update cycle for DJI's Mini and Mavic series, though specific details for the Mavic 4 Pro RC firmware under this version are still emerging. Based on related firmware notes and community reports, here’s what’s likely included or...

I disagree that the bag is "worthless". Are there better options. Sure. I find the bag entirely adequate and well thought out. I would prefer and more solid closing mechanism, but the clasp works OK. Pretty nice to have something upon receipt to store everything in. Just my .02

This one also looks reputable. Great eBay ratings: Pardon Our Interruption... (click that weird link . . . it goes to the offering on eBay) It may not be the cheapest on eBay, but they have a great reputation.
