Need to add in direct from Manufacturer, and the suppliers with deals for members, like Flytron…

Thanks Suzanne, we’re looking at retailers though, rather than direct purchasing :slight_smile:

I’ll edit the opening line to be clearer :smiley:

Ah, ok, no worries… What about mail order like Very?

That’s the very first choice on the poll :blush:

AliExpress ? Got some decent bits for the Avata off there - got some bumpers from Amazon and got the exact same ones ( different colour ) for half the price from AliExpress. Have had other bits and bobs from there too - DJI lanyards for controllers / FPV Goggle foam bits for around the eyes - all seem to be of decent quality and for the price you can’t complain

Would not class it as a national retailer that’s for sure.

Wex photo have used for ND filters :+1:t2:

Can you remember what their stock levels were like when you ordered @Kirky ?

Did they have what you wanted in stock at the time?

13

Yes you could not get the ND’s for mav 3 classic original DJI ones from no where, these guys pretty much had them from day one, actually these guys had them DJI did not,
There stock is pretty good when I’ve been browsing the web, wex photo always seem to pop up.

Was in stock .

Good to know, cheers Rich!

I wouldn’t put Amazon and e.g. Currys in the same category. Currys is a physical store where you can walk in and check stock, and return direct to the store if there is a problem. Amazon has none of that touchy feely quality. I got mine at Currys. I haven’t touched Amazon with 10 years of barge poles.
