    I hit a power line with my P4 and went into a lake on Aug 6th. Filed a claim with SF & sent them my flight log on the 7th, adjuster called me on the 8th & said my check for a replacement would be mailed that day. He said if I ordered a replacement, be sure to add it to the policy for coverage...

    Insurance

    The policy in NC is $60 year for $3000 coverage, no deductible, covers theft, crash, fly away's. You can put many other things on the policy. I have my P4 & accessories, my Nikon DSLR & accessories, my firearms, jewelry, etc.... They will not cover your tablet you use with the drone unfortunately.

    Got insurance for my Phantom 4

    For everyone calling State Farm and checking on insurance, make sure you ask for a "Personal Articles Policy". They do not have a "Drone Insurance Policy". They basically consider the drone a flying camera. My agent had to check to verify the drone was covered under the policy. Look on their...
