I have been following this thread every day to see if Sphere got mentioned. I was 5th on the list a week ago, if that helps

Congratulations! I ordered a fly more from model flight on the 14th, so hopefully, mine isn't far off.

I chatted with them yesterday, and they said that deliveries from dji were picking up; they had 10 shipping early this week, and another 15 later this week. They said there were 38 people ahead of me.

I had previously ordered from Riseabove (on 16 oct). At the time, they were offering a special to the first 100 mavic orders, so when I placed mine, I assumed that there would be fewer than 100 people ahead of me. However, when I emailed them on 19 Nov, they told me I was 182 out of >400. So, their 'first 100' special was disingenuous. I've emailed them, requesting that my order be canceled.

We're is the best place too buy batteries

If you've ordered through elkfish and were promised they'd be in by the 7th...

rt60 · Dec 8, 2016

I order from riseabove on the 11th Oct. Not the right decision it seem as I think there's still around 100 in front of me. If only I chose sphere or modelflight!

daymn nice, where did you order from?

bakerboy · Dec 8, 2016

Originally, elk fish, but got wind of an unclaimed combo through a small online shop in bayswater, drone shop perth. He had some more come this week but all accounted for

daithi23 · Dec 8, 2016

I got mine from Elk Fish last week. I was about to cancel when they rang to say it was in store. Apparently they ordered LOADS and only got one delivered!

Ordered from Rise Above on 29/9 - order around #32. It shipped last Friday, 2nd Dec and spent a week with Aust Post, delivered at lunchtime today, to Gold Coast. Charged up and flown in the simulator, really good practise. First flight tomorrow.
What are ppl doing for Public Liability Insurance? Verifly not in Australia yet, I don't think.

You don't have much choice if you are flying for fun. insurance is only offered for commercial use and they are very expensive. good luck with your MP. I may see you there one day.
