    Operating P4 in Rain

    Last year, 2 weeks after I bought my first drone, P3 Std. I lost control and it flew away almost 1 mile away. It was just before sunset. That entire night it rained. After learning about the flight log I could see where it started to descend when the battery got low. The next morning I went...

    Can someone suggest a good DJI Phantom 4 backpack for air travel?

    I have the ProCraft Backpack. It's a bit large, but I like it because it fits all of my batteries, Mini-iPad, Controller and all accessories. Plus it can be carried on airplane. Very nicely made, lots of storage pockets and padding.

    Drone Insurance is Real :)

    Seems like $60 is the minimum, regardless of property value, however, you can also add all drone accessories, extra batteries, bag/case and other personal property items. I was told the cost is $1.25/ hundred dollars of items listed value. Some people add their SLR Cameras to the same policy.

    Drone Insurance is Real :)

    FYI State Farm offers the insurance in Wisconsin. I had the same experience as most others. Agent didn't know about it, immediately called underwriting and that was it. I've had the insurance for about a month or two now. I also do not have any other insurance with them. I think I'm better off...

    P4 is on its way!!!

    Geeno, I'm in Wisconsin. The Drone insurance is relatively new. Many State Farm agents aren't aware of it. They started offering it in January of this year. The agent I called never heard about it either. They called the underwriting department and first found out about it. I don't know if it's...

    P4 is on its way!!!

    My understanding is that the insurance covers 100% for anything other than a mechanical malfunction. It does not cover any Liability for damage to property or persons. Attached is a page from the policy. See attached photo Losses Insured And Losses Not Insured, item 6. You could call any State...

    P4 is on its way!!!

    How would you know that it was a battery/motor/etc. malfunction if you couldn't retrieve it? When I took out the insurance my agent said it would not be covered if there was a mechanical malfunction. I just received the actual policy last week. I'll look through it and see what the verbiage reads.

    Best cases?

    Check out the ProCraft Backpack especially if you have several batteries and accessories. A little big but very protective for all traveling.

    P4 is on its way!!!

    The insurance doesn't cover mechanical malfunctions, but still a good deal. All you need is Model/ Serial Number and receipt of purchase. Be sure to list all of your additional accessories, case, etc. They will all be covered with State Farms minimum premium of $60/year. I've read some people...

    Compass Error

    I had the same problem. I deleted and reinstalled DJI GO app. Never had the problem again. I also recalibrated the IMU after reinstalling the DJI GO app. Good luck!
