    Ok so the 4k RC relay went through on the android phone but still have same problem

    I see the camera has a micro usb slot on it - can the firmware be upgraded any other way?

    Camera completely dead now after trying to manually update firmware to 1077

    Just have solid red light - nothing on screen

    Where or what is the code to buy the drone at €277?

    I have opened a ticket with gearbest rob RMA - I would apply for a refund if I got the drone quicker and for a similar price

    Disaster! I really don't know how to resolve at this stage.. Hopefully gearbest will sort this out for you.

    I think the discount code was if you buy from a mobile device. Somebody listed the code in an above post.

    Hope you get this sorted mate..

    Think the default for 64GB is exFAT. Works fine. Yep they ship the drone through the UK and the rest ships through other European hubs. Hopefully it arrives soon!

    They're usually 89e each so it's not the worst if it gets hit, finger's crossed!!

    Yeah, it's a strange one. There's no guarantee even if it ships from Europe as the invoice is from an Asian company.

    Hi guys

    With a drone such as this, would.it be possible to upgrade it in years to come, so add a better battery/camera?

    No. They will come out with a newer model with a better spec. Sell the old one and put the proceeds to the new one.

    Mine has been in status "Packed" for almost a week now. Not impressed. I suspect they are waiting for stock.

    It's really poor tracking, don't worry, it'll be on the way. Has happened to most orders. It will just randomly arrive in a week or two.

    This is currently 303 on lightinthebox with 2-3 day shipping.

    Vat insurance is 6 quid meaning they will refund if you get stung.

    I'm seriously tempted.
