It does look like that's what it is although it could be the extreme cold??



Yep, just the gallery, you could try VLC player too. Are you sure the card is genuine, there's a lot of fake Samsung out there.

Came in a pack with holographic foil but who knows. What card you reccomend?

This is a decent card for the money

I use these guys as they're based in Ireland and most cards have a lifetime guarantee

Wherever you find them cheapest. It seems that the majority of battery purchases for both Xiaomi and DJI are being hit with customs of 25-30euro including the processing fee.

Really annoying. I'm awaiting one from gearbest from the black Friday sale. I'll let you know how I get on. Still not bad for 59 Euro

Mine was 88 on tomtop, ordered the 30th November and came 2 days ago. No customs charge. Now all I need is for drone to arrive!

Anybody received it yet that ordered in November ?

Ordered mine on the 28th November and was shipped on the 3rd December. It said the start of January for estimated delivery when I ordered it

Well spare battery from Gearbest finally arrived today after 5 weeks, got hit €25.28 customs bringing the price to €91. The battery itself did come in an original box but the buttons are not gold like on the 4k one. I assume it's just a battery for the previous version drone so should be fine with this one.

I'm not sure that it is. I've seen mention that they are not compatiable, and some have hacked them to work. I don't know how accurate any of that is. I didn't read much about it, so perhaps a quick google would find out.

Edit. If it's the one links a few pages back, the part number matched the one on the 4k one I have, so it must work. I didn notice the pics were of the older one, but assumed it was just a simple photo mistake.

Edit 2. Seems they may not have been, but a firmware update fixed this.

tedpan

Yeah, both batteries have the same power output and can be used on either version of the quad, thanks to an update.

Still no news on my battery delivery

Any deliveries??

I ordered one on the 23rd from Gearbest but it only shipped on the 8th December (two hours after I requested that the order be cancelled). I had been sending them messages almost every day prior to that which they mostly ignored.

The tracking info hasn't updated either.

I will be going shopping if it doesn't arrive by Xmas eve.

Yeah, cancellation is not something Asian companies seem to understand understand..

That's normal, but due to Christmas, it's gone nuts. I'm waiting for several deliveries, finger's crossed things start arriving this week..

Julez

Got a new update on my delivery today "2017-12-13 14:55:08 Parcel is leaving Hong Kong Airport". Not sure it that's good or bad. I'll need An post to have it tomorrow or at the very latest Wed for any chance of pre-Christmas delivery.

I ordered on 12th Nov. Complained numerous times after tracking was showing "Waiting for flights" for 3-4 weeks

I put in a paypal dispute last week, as it was due for delivery in 5-10 business days with the shipping method i picked.

Checked the tracking just now, it only left Hong Kong on 15th Dec. So they shipped as soon as I raised a Paypal dispute

2017-12-15 "Parcel is leaving Hong Kong Airport"-

RossieMan

You've absolutely no chance of getting that before mid January tbh.

For Jules btw.

Anyone have any of these for sale by any chance?

At least we'll have a new toy to look forward to in January ☺

Which courier company delivered the new battery?

Was that with Gearbest? Mine came from Gearbest and was shipped via Sweden. The thing that I am fairly confident triggers the customs is the labelling. On mine was a label with a 'gift' checkbox checked, even though it specifically stated on another label that the origin country was Sweden! The 'gift' label is always a giveaway. No such labelling on the drone itself. How much did it end up costing you? I have an urge to maybe get another 2, but would be great to avoid customs next time!

RonTon

Anyone see a good price for a spare battery ? Ment to order earlier but just been putting it off ,see one on TOMTOP for 100$ including delivery ,can’t see on GB at moment,maybe out of stock..
Cheers fellas

Yep, the battery was on offer for 59eur with a discount code for black Friday. 2euro shipping. So 61eur in total no gift labels this time and it stated that there was a lithium ion battery inside on a big white label.

Wish I'd bought more now, 3 will do I suppose
