What's the difference with the warranty?

The main difference between DJI Care Refresh and the standard warranty is that all kinds of defects are covered. This means even damage you caused yourself. The manufacturer's warranty only covers defects the drone already had when you purchased it. Think about mounting or manufacturing errors that cause malfunctioning of your drone. Is this the case, you're entitled to free repairs or a replacement drone. But if you fly your drone into the water or hit a wall with it, the warranty won't cover the damage.
