Hey,

Wanting to get a few opinions from the forum. My spark went into atti after having gps then loosing signal and drifted in to a tree. It fell from about 30ft up and broke one of the propeller arms. I powered on the drone and the gimball and camera functioned as normal. I didn't notice any other problems other than a small rock in one of the motors but I got it out by tipping the drone upside down. The quote I got has them replacing nearly the whole drone (gimball, motherboard, motor, middle frame). Does that seem right if it powers on correctly and seems to be working other than the broken motor arm?

Here is my quote from DJI

i suggest disputing it.  or filing a claim with your insurance company if you can.     i have contacted my insurance company about converage on a DJi SPark and  DJi Mavic pro they want $30/year payment for the spark with no deductible but no mention if they have a limit or cost increase,  and $50 for mavic pro, no deductible, and there is a claim limit but she didn't know what the limit was..

If it went into atti mode its still flyable u have to learn how to fly and be ready for these situations because sometimes u will lose gps its not a fault of the drone
