    SD Card Error After UPDATE TO NEW APP/FW!

    This is a remarkably stupid issue - I’ve just purchased a new Sandisk 64gb card (listed as supported) and after much hassle have used partitioning software to format to Fat32 (since Windows, and the aforementioned tool don’t support Fat32), and the Anafi refuses to offer me an option to format...

    Batteries arrived today - end actual cost ~NZ$190 per battery. All up 9 calendar days from order to delivery. Mix of ordering from parrot.com and shipping through myus.com Cheers Neil

    Lol Bestbuy immediately cancelled my order - they don’t seem to allow international credit cards, nor do the except PayPal accounts out side of US... swapped to Amazon...

    Well, I'm buying some out of the US and using MyUS to deliver. Looks like across two batteries, this will cost me around $175 NZ per battery delivered (assuming weight is more than 500gm hut less than 1kg, and I get charged the 'Dangerous Goods" fee (and that NZ customs doesn't sting me further...

    I’m still exploring options out of Australia - maybe Aus$55 courier - across a couple of batteries that makes the AU170 each...(NZ$178) I see a listing on eBay as well - about NZ$197 each - [Genuine national] ANAFI smart battery P/O 3520410047923 | eBay If DroneLab could get his price down...

    Weird - I search for Anafi Battery on AliExpress I don’t get that listing - only if I search the exact listing name, or close to. Very expensive and not sure I’d trust third party batteries...

    Good information from many! Parrot finally replied and gave me the name of the distributor in NZ - different from the company using parrot.net.nz. Sadly they haven’t supplied anything Parrot for two years and were surprised by my call... Parrot are reconsidering where to direct me...

    Totally agree. Absolutely appalling.

    We can order, but lithium batteries won’t be shipped to NZ - and Australia Post don’t allow the batteries to be mailed. Only option seems to be with someone travelling across the ditch. What’s most frustrating is the JB Hifi in NZ won’t bring them in despite stocking in Australia.
