fpv drones have been around for a few years now but if you're not a hobbyist
you're not good at soldering everything is broken and everything needs to be fixed
and if you're indecisive you're going to be paralyzed by the millions of choices because
there's just so many fpv parts to choose from why are there so many different types
of drone batteries and that's why dji has finally made an fpv for fools like us we
can all fly this fpv relatively easily that is until you flick on manual mode
fortunately or unfortunately for me i had purchased dji care refresh for the dji fpv
which entitles me for two replacement drones and this is my experience when sending the damaged
drone into the dji service center for repairs i have had a few unlucky crashes with my dji drones
all totally not my fault of course exhibit one dji mavic air crash this into a side of a building
after losing wi-fi signal at that time i didn't have dji k refresh and to repair it cost me 270
dollars exhibit 2 dji mavic mini crash this into a pool and it may or may not have been my fault
probably is and this time i did have dji k refresh and to replace it only cost me 60
dji sent me a brand new replacement drone and a brand new remote controller so based
on these two very very traumatic experience i kind of think that having a dji care refresh is
kind of worth it for your dji drones especially if you're clumsy like me but after sending my dji
fpv into repairs and after getting a quote back i'm not so sure anymore let me explain
to replace your dji fpv outright will cost you 1199 to replace it using the dji care
refresh program will cost you 419 of course you will have to be enrolled into the dji refresh
program which will cost 319 dollars which actually means the replacement will cost 738
after the dji service center had assessed the damage on my drone they gave me two options first
is to repair it for 284 dollars or to have it replaced using my dji k refresh program
for 419 guess which one i chose i chose the repair option and dji sent me a brand new drone
anyways from my previous experience repairing the mavic air dji also sent me back a brand new mavic
air instead of having it repaired look i'm really grateful that dji does this instead of sending me
back a banged up drone that has just been repaired but the point here is that if it's just cheaper
for me to just send it in for repairs then to have it replaced using the dji k refresh program
what is the point of having a dji care refresh program anyways it would have just cost me 284
to get this brand new replacement drill and if i were really good with electronics and
i had a lot of time to burn i could have gone to alibaba to look up some parts and learn how to
repair it myself for a lot less so at the moment i still have roughly nine months left on the gi
care refresh program and that's a lot of time for a lot of things to go wrong especially when
i love flying this drone a lot doing a cockscrew dive mid-air is probably the closest i will get to
doing skydiving and if i do accidentally smash it into smithereens or crash it into the ocean
maybe perhaps then the repair bill would cost more than the replacement fee and maybe perhaps then
the djik refresh becomes worthwhile anyways let us know what you think of the dji k refresh program
do you have it what's your experience like let us know in the comment section below and
