I thought I just read they do cover water damage, we just ordered our Mavic pro. Hope to see it next week.

Educate me on drones.....

Just left their site, and it shows the DJI coverage as covering "accidental water damage is covered", not sure what that may interpret to, but some sort of water damage it covered. How long did it take to get the drone delivered?
I might need to call them I guess. And I bought mine from a dealer online on Thursday I think and received it today.
I'm skipping over all the replies and going from the OP to this:
My nephew had a $100 drone several years ago that had a "return to home" feature, and would automatically land when the battery got low, AND it would auto-correct itself if you just let go of the controls. So you couldn't really crash it unless you flew it into the ground. If you get in trouble, just let go of the controls and it stabilizes and starts slowing its rate of decent.
(I don't know the model or brand. It was several years ago. It was a physically pretty big thing-- each of the 4 propellers was about 4" diameter, and the entire aircraft was probably 20" wide.)

The DJI Phantom 4 is the one we have. This is our first drone and it's pretty damn incredible. My 13 year old flies it and it puts a big smile on her face every time. We've been taking it slow and it just about flies itself.
My question is what are the intended areas? If it's your daughter and an open space and she handled the cheap one essily.....your call.
I have the P4. You can fly it in some pretty gusty wind. You can use any tablet. I use an android based 10 inch horizontal $75 tablet.
Be sure to download B4UFly app and use it.
Keep it in GPS mode and most do fine. There is only one company that I know of that makes guards that do not disable the sensors.
Most of the newer high end drones have a "return to home" feature. Our Beebop II has it, as well as the Mavic and Phantom 4 and Pro4. These also have avoidance sensors in the front to avoid obstacles, some even have them on the side and rear. The big thing is the flight time and camera resolution. With the DJI products having a better camera than the Parrot Beebop II. These bad boys can fly to altitudes of 5000m and about 40 plus m.p.h. forward, and hover for a long time. My son has made some really cool video which he has posted to youtube, I think I have an earlier post with a link. I will use his skills to video homes I have listed for sale as well.
The drone world is amazing and improving daily, it's so cool to be able to use these flying cameras, the possibilities are only limited by the pilots own imagination.
Great Targets, especially when idiots like to use them to irritate people in their own yard and property, they will do it twice,
THE FIRST AND LAST TIME, THEY EXPLODE NIZE....

Now that you have to register the larger ones with the FAA and they have tail numbers, I think shooting at them would probably be a bad idea.
