When I first got my Spark, and I was learning, there was more than a couple of times that obstacle avoidance saved my ***. I can’t imagine the new pilots reaction to not having this feature on a starter drone.
Most service plans have two steps:
Repair - Same unit repair
Replacement - Part replacement new or refurbished part. (Part being entire drone)
New Replacement is usually only for confirmed extreme circumstances if at all.
Anyone who has the expectation of retail new replacements for any plan...
Ordered my SunnyLife hood at the end of December. It should be here in the next week or two. The other one as mentioned blocks too much - mostly noticed in panos. I hope I'm right in thinking the other will work without this issue.
