How many are getting DJI Care Refresh with their M2P?

[wco81]

Curious about what percentage of forum members are getting it.

Does the higher prices of the newer products make it more or less of a value to get?

State Farm on all my drones.

Homeowners insurance?

Would they cover say loss or damage of drone from losing signal or other common drone mishaps?

 

[Bigbird48]

yep state farm better then refresh

It's my first "proper" drone and since I'll definitely be putting some miles on it in potentially less than ideal conditions figured it might be better to have a little extra cover while I work out what the limits are. No regrets, even though I don't generally go for external warranties, etc. because the odds should level out in your favour. Once that expires though, I'll just be relying on my regular photography equipment and liability insurance policy for any mishaps, etc.

I got refresh and refresh+.
Latter gives you an extra year, one extra refresh and extends warranty for the entire total refresh period.
Besides, they were discounting it 10%.

I had iRefresh on my Air, wasn’t going to bother with the M2P until I started watching that 48 hour countdown go by [emoji23][emoji23] needles to say I went for it in the end, the pressure was to much to handle

It's a PAP and you dont need a carcass to return to them like you do with Refresh.

Insurance??

 

[wco81]

Hmm, wasn't familiar with that kind of insurance, otherwise I would have put it up as a choice in the poll.

should have done a little research first State farm has been talked about plenty here on the forum

In my experience, most "homeowner's" type insurane policies will cover things like camera gear and drones within reason, although it's worth checking if they have any specific requirements and (as normal for insurance) what is and is not covered by the policy. Sometimes you have to declare additional items like that up front, provide serial numbers, etc., but even if you do it's usually pretty straightfoward to get them added to the cover.

Homeowners generally only covers loss from fire theft and the like and liability though my umbrella policy doesn't cover drone liability..State Farm is a bargain!Not available in Massachusetts.All risk camera insurance is about $1.30/$100/year.I've been searching for similar on drone but found nothing yet.Just a guess but if I were State Farm I'd stop doing that $ 60 deal.

 

[Bigbird48]

Why would you stop doing a 60 dollar deal. if Thousands of drone owners have it and they pay out 5 or 10 claims their making good money, just like most all insurance, they take in more then they pay out. Unless of course you have CA fire Insurance Prayers for those in the fire zone.

I totally got it- it's like Apple Care... and I'm a complete n00b with drones, and I live in a pretty heavily wooded area in Portland, OR- almost inevitable that I will crash it at some point!

 

[CanadaDrone]

I'm not going to bother - I fly over water too much. If I lose it it's most likely gone for good.

My Visa gold credit card covered my crash in full. Membership benefits. Check your card!

That's surprising.

It would be one thing if there was some manufacturing defect which caused the crash.

 

[Brad Ruff]

State Farm for my drones too. [emoji1303][emoji4]

 

[NorthGADronePilot]

I have State Farm insurance on my drones. I don't trust DJI any further than I could throw them so I'd never consider getting Care Refresh anyway.

Insurance??

I would have to say this seems to be the biggest reason not to get Refresh.
I would think that there is a high chance an incident could result in a lost drone.
If Refresh doesn't cover that then I'm going with State Farm.
