So after what feels like an eternity, I now have the Osmo Pro X5 setup with everything, including the DJI focus remote....and it is being held to ransome by the wait for the Osmo Pro/RAW adaptor cable.
As usual, the quoted 5-7 business days has since passed, and my cable hasn't shipped.

Yet the DJI site are still taking payment in full, claiming 5-7 days shipping.

Am I just habitually unlucky?

Has anyone had their Osmo Pro/RAW adaptor cables shipped?

Guess I'll answer it myself.....NO!!!

The same lame excuse has become laughable now....

Is that only celebrated on the mainland?

I'm in HK....like you, and it's not such a big deal here. It would have been cool to catch.

Okay..... the first batch (and it definitely is the first batch) is being shipped today.

Myself and all the other guys on here that jumped as soon as you said it was available, have all received shipment notices, to arrive this coming Thursday.
By the way, were you referring, in your last post to that boat race through Victoria Harbour last Thursday?

Thanks for your feedback.
You know, your shipment was dispatched from SZ, China, so I mean the mainland in China. In Mainland, the national holidays for the Dragon Boat Festival this year is from 9th to 11th of this month.

Enjoy your trip in China!

Last week I ordered a z-axis with 30-40 days shipping, I figured I'd have it by thanksgiving, much to my surprise the next day I got a shipping notice? Go figure.

Got mine today, it had been on order about a month.  Doesn't work but it might be the X5 as it just points straight up with a solid green light (with the latest firmware loaded in the root dir on the SD card).  It was hard to fit into the handle, I had to press down on it just above the lock to get the lock to engage.  I will update later once support gets back to me on the problem.  
Update:  After chat w/support I will be sending in the X5 along with the adapter.  When I got the X5 back in December I was not aware there was no way to use it without the handle so the camera has never been used before.  Will update once I have any info from repair depot.

Result!

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. That's beyond lucky!
I've received everything now, with the X5 adaptor and the Osmo Pro/RAW cable waiting for me at home in London. I'll be home on Friday morning, with a pretty chilled out Father's Day charity event to cover on Sunday.

Focus peaking is my next gripe, but other than that, it's happy days!
