Did you buy DJI care refresh?

[Deacon Strange]

When buying my drone I looked at it, but ended up not getting it as I figured it was more likely to crash and lose my drone than crash it where I could find it....

I tend to do a lot of flying over water, specifically the sea as I live on the coast and love going for shots out over the cliffs.

Silly I know but I understand that if you cannot send the drone in, DJI care refresh can't do anything for you.

Now I've been flying for 6 weeks and keep hearing the flyaway stories, which do worry me, though so far *knock on wood* I've had no issues.

That said, I was pointed to a company that will insure your drone incase it is lost, stolen or damaged and will pay to replace it or repair it. Sounds like a good deal to me for only £7.99 a month.

They are called back me up:
Flexible monthly insurance for £7.99 | Back Me Up

Has anyone else had any dealing with them? Checked out the reviews online and they seem legit. So I've signed up with them anyway, can't hurt.

Got a £5 discount on the first month's premium too with the code SARGEANT075

This wasn't meant to sound like an ad btw.. I have no affiliation with the company besides having taken out a policy.

This insurance seems to be for UK resident only.
If you loss it, you need to report the loss to Police, so fly at reasonable location

How is the policy so far? Can you cancel after a month or so?

I've tried finding insurance (also in the U.K.), and this is the first company I've seen offering it. I took out care refresh - which seems like a good deal really. I feel safer going with DJI for some reason.

Where's the photo from? Thought it was Robin Hoods Bay at first, but it's too flat.

I got the full refresh package from DJI. Feel more comfortable flying with it than without it. Have heard of cheaper insurance companies but cheaper isn't always good. As for recovering I have been asked the question about losing it in the ocean and how would I recover it.... would ask a local scuba group going out and give them a location with $50. Would be a fun challenge for them too!
