Hi Just enquiring about a drone and it was bought in Iceland , copy & paste from the seller : I bought it at the DJI store in Reykjavik , it has the EU plug for the charger does anyone know if this is all good for the Uk or is it a no go , or will I only have to buy the lead that goes into the charger , I know are drones are not made in the uk but thought maybe a voltage difference with the charger 🤔  
Many thanks

You’ll need a figure 8 lead:

That’s all.

It will be suitable for 220v / 240v

So no worries once you replace the lead.

I use EU plugs all the time with no problem at all. The lead would only have 2 wires and the plug would only have 2 ROUND pins instead of 3 SQUARE pins. It wouldn’t matter which way round you put the pins in as there is a Bridge Rectifier’ inside the charger which will correct the polarity. The charger should tell you what the voltage is anyway. If the pins were FLAT then I would be more cautious.

Thanks for your comments / help , the drone is from that shop in Iceland ( but the drone is in the uk ) where Ian from London got his replacement when he sadly melted his mini 3 😰 , it includes the receipt etc.

Only if you buy something that is made for 110V you have an issues. You can always check the voltage used in any specific country at [Full list: Plug, socket & voltage by country - World Standards](https://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plug-voltage-by-country/)

the label onthe charger states what it’s input voltage range, should say 110v - 240v

indeed - but for that you need to check - my point is that it will work on 220 / 240v by default.

Adapters are available for round or square pins, this particular one is rated 110-240V 12.6V 500mA and came with the powered patch antenna. It doesn’t matter which way it’s plugged in as the internal circuit does it all. I bought the adapter from our local Wilkinson Store…

Nearly all chargers are switch mode power supplies SMPS these days so are good for a wide input voltage and frequency input. Just check the label.  
As other said good to go with a lead change or adaptor to UK 🙂
