    This is the one. Although, as I said, I can't be certain that their stock will remain exactly the same as what I got. But it's a small amount of cash so worth a punt I reckon!
    Great thanks I will order one and see!

    Looks like I've been refunded the full amount - I initially opened the dispute because I hadn't received the goods with only 24hr to go and looks like seller has refunded under that issue rather than the counterfeit one - so avoids having to pay the x2 extra. I'm not going to complain! NOTE for anyone disputing - once it's escalated the system doesn't notify you by email if AliExpress responds so you have to keep logging in & click on dispute button to check what's happening (AliExpress communication doesn't appear in the buyer/seller messages list). That's why I was waiting so long for response - they had responded, asking for more info, shortly after I escalated the dispute. Good luck to all with your disputes :-).

    The seller has just got back to me with this message:

    Hi friend

    I got almost word for word the same spiel. I replied that I was worried that it wouldn't take the SJ4000 batteries so I would prefer to claim a refund under the AliExp Guaranteed Genuine warranty. After this they came back with the offer of $50 or free replacement with the real SJ4000 if I cancelled the dispute. I was tempted with the latter but realised I'd have no protection once I cancelled the dispute so decided to take the GG track. I think it was the seller and not AliExp who refunded the money and closed the dispute.

    Got mine last week, im a bit disappointed tbh. Now i didnt expect the best quality. 1020p seems to be 720p at best and a bit grainy. Motion is pretty poor. Battery life is quite bad too. It also doesnt tighten very well on my bike. Im only getting roughly 1hr from it. It is worth its price and no more i feel. I think i should have sprung for a go pro.

    here is the recent reply I have gotten:

    Sorry for the inconvenience.
    If you could believe us once again, we could offer the following suggestions :
    1 you could get the full refund if you return our item, I guess you could return it to our Germany warehouse, then it would be cheap.
    2 if you keep it, we will refund you 50 USD. (Our manager said we could undertake this loss for giving you nice experience) As you know, it would take about 60 USD for the fake one.
    3, if you need the original item, and you do not want to return, you could just pay another 30 USD, and we will resend the original one for you. We have changed the supply of this items.
    Waiting for your confirmation.
    Best wishes.


    so what happens if I let the dispute go to aliexpress?

    Yeah, again I got the same response. Just let it go to AliExpress as they will give you a full refund due to you not receiving the item advertised.

    The shop I dealt with had just changed supplier also.

    Btw, my dispute was closed on Thursday morning and the money was back in my account on midnight Friday.

    Back on to your credit card surely....since you would have bought through a credit card. Well that's what I did, and where my money was returned to.

    USD 85 with the coupon 6B84AE


    Beware some Ali/eBay sellers are selling clones of the SJ4000.
    I can confirm mine from Banggood was legit.
    Massive user thread here http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2090990

    Ordered this one , Looks like it's in cutoms according to the shipping info.
    anyone know how long it'll take to clear? will they send a letter out to the address with the added charges or will the postman be looking for them?

    Did you go with the default shipping or change/upgrade to ship via Netherlands?

    Tracked Standard shipping , I didnt upgrade though perhaps that would have been a good idea :o

    Edit:

    Just rang customs there , need to email on receipt to see if theres any charge , I guess i'll have to pay the VAT and a Handling charge by anpost , would this have been avoided going through netherlands? :/
