When your drone and all of the gear that comes with it is your livelihood, a single accident can leave you short on cash, unable to work and restricted by downtime.
DJI has today launched Enterprise Shield, a coverage program that provides peace of mind to commercial pilots with fleet coverage, overnight replacements and support across the company’s professional product range.
DJI describe Enterprise Shield as “a new customizable drone protection service plan designed to meet the diverse needs of today’s commercial drone operators.”
DJI Enterprise Shield covers the Chinese manufacturer’s line of enterprise products, including broad accident coverage, repair and replacement services, free shipping, rapid delivery, and the option to share coverage across a fleet of enterprise products.
“Professional drone operators rely on DJI systems to complete their missions with high performance and minimal downtime, and they have told us they want that same level of reliability and flexibility in an aftersales solution,” said Jan Gasparic, Head of Enterprise Partnerships at DJI.
“This was the inspiration behind DJI Enterprise Shield – a plan that gives our enterprise customers the peace of mind they need to focus on their missions.”

DJI Enterprise Shield
DJI Enterprise Shield coverage will be available in two tiers. It provides coverage for a range of the company’s enterprise products including the Matrice 200 Series drones and the Zenmuse Z30, X4S, X5S, XT and XT2 payloads.
The coverage lasts for one year from activation and has pilots’ backs in several accident scenarios. These include pilot error, signal interference, and water damage.
Enterprise Shield Basic
Enterprise Shield Basic covers two product replacements for damaged DJI drones and payloads (with the exception of XT and XT2) covered by the plan within the one-year coverage period, at a small corresponding fixed fee. Free two-way ground shipping is used when sending products in for replacement.
Enterprise Shield Plus
Enterprise Shield Plus covers unlimited repair services and product replacements to damaged drones and payloads within the coverage amount selected by the customer. Free two-way overnight shipping is used when sending products in for replacement.
The plan also covers free repair services for DJI’s Zenmuse XT and Zenmuse XT2 thermal camera payloads. DJI will provide operators with the option to use a replacement device on loan for these payloads while their original product is under repair. Enterprise Shield Plus also provides the option to share coverage across multiple DJI products, helping commercial drone operators protect an entire fleet using one plan.
How Can I Get DJI Enterprise Shield Coverage?
You can sign up for Enterprise Shield today, providing you are a DJI customer in the United States, Canada, or Mainland China. Enterprise Shield only provides services in the country or region where it is purchased.
