I'm pretty sure they (sq trade) are still doing it.For a short amount of time, I believe SquareTrade allowed you to insure them.

I don't believe they will cover you. Take your money, yes, cover you, no.I'm pretty sure they (sq trade) are still doing it.

as I mentioned in a previous post, the description of the incident exhibit the exact symptoms of a battery that was not seated properly... ie, not pushed in all the way. We've seen it before numerous times in the P2X's, and since the engineering is the same in the P3, I can almost guarantee that's what happened here. Everyone should add "push battery in all the way" to their pre-flight checklist.
Over 300 Flights on P2 and P3 combined, never hapenned to me, but i'll add this to check list anyway.If it's seated properly in the first place, it won't slip out. I slam mine in every time, then give it a solid shove with the palm of my hand, and make sure the gap is as small as I can possibly make it.
I truly feel for you. I may still be able to find mine, launching a expedition this Sunday to look for it at the bottom of the lake.So I took my new Phantom 3 Professional out to the beach this weekend to get some nice beach and water video footage. I had my battery fully charged and ready to go. When I got to my take off point I made sure and calibrated it and got the Safe to Fly With GPS, so I took off and flew it up and down the beach a few times, 10 minutes into my flight, I had looked and it said 51% battery so since I was flying over water I was being extra careful and wanted to get back before I got under 30% just to be safe, all of a sudden a red signal flashed across the screen "Critically low voltage, the aircraft will land now" I was still about 500 yards or so offshore and maybe a quarter mile down the beach heading back when it said this I immediately started to try to make it back, my FPV went out so I hit the return home button the controller started beeping as if it was working but no Phantom in sight, my stomach dropped and I waited and waited... no Phantom 3 professional returned... So I checked my flight log and it seemed that the battery went from over half charged to nothing in a matter of seconds and went into the water. Has anyone had this type of experience? You can see it went down seconds after the critical low voltage warning, I was being so careful to do EVERYTHING by the book as well. I emailed DJI, we will see what they do for me but I am still sick, I have only had this a few weeks and was feeling very confident about flying it safely. See my attached image of the last screenshot captured.
This right from DJI web site, they have many pics and vid's of it over water.Wow....sorry to hear. That really sucks.....you may not have seen them...but there has been discussions about "breaking in" the battery to avoid errors like you recieved.....
The added bad news is that dji apparently does not approve of flying over water...so this may be a determining factor to what action they take....wish you the best......btw were you able to locate the p3 ?
I don't understand why DJI decided to go their own way on connector technology. There's an absolute plethora of bespoke connectors out there which ensure correct polarity and clamp together securely...!
