l wonder how long it will be before I can order some batteries. They are some online but for ripoff prices, has anyone managed to purchase any ?.

I had the same issue. Was stuck in NZ and Australia with one battery with no option to buy one at the local stores. Now I see plenty of them in our local Canadian store.

Appear to be in stock at Maplin.

Ordered 2 from DJI yesterday, awaiting shipment information.

Cheers guys I will have a proper look when I get back home.
