I was filming from the passenger seat of my car when I got disorientated as to where my drone was and flew it the wrong way into a tree (Not that there's a right way to fly into a tree) my Mavic 2 pro was destroyed I've claimed on my crash protection from drone world (there was only one week left, I've since renewed for another year) two weeks later was offered the full value of what I paid for it against a replacement drone (the Mavic two pro is no longer available] so I got the Mavic 3 and paid the difference
After having my mini 2 for just three weeks I hit a branch whilst flying sideways, I received a brand-new replacement from drone world nine days later ...........
Was filming my friend's Mavic mini with my Mavic 2 pro when they collided, they were both destroyed when they hit the ground. My friend didn't have crash protection, but I did and put in a claim, and after looking at the footage drone world agreed to give me a new drone
I was flying my Mavic mini (a very windy day) when I noticed my battery was getting very low, and I couldn't get it back to my garden, the drone landed 100 m away on a tree and then crashed to the floor, it was totally destroyed, I received a brand-new replacement from drone world!
I was attempting to catch my drone on my boat when it hit the VHF antenna and crashed into the cockpit, over R9000 worth of damage paid for under crash protection thank you drone world
My Mavic 2 pro hit a wire and broke an arm and propeller when it hit the floor I claimed on my crash protection, and received my drone back with a new arm and propeller 14 days later, I've since extended my crash protection for another year
I was trying to catch my drone on my balcony when a sudden gust of wind blew it against the wall and when it hit the ground it broke the camera, I received my drone back 2 weeks later with a brand new camera fitted.
I was filming my friend doing jumps on his BMX, when the bike hit the drone (Mavic mini) I had the option of a new Mavic mini or pay the difference and get the mini 2........ I paid the difference and got the upgrade
I don't know what happened but I lost control of my Air2 s and it hit the side of my house (totally destroyed) received a brand-new replacement 2weeks later thank you Droneworld
