UK Drone/Accessories Stock

[snowblind]

Hi all,

I'm new to drones and am just about to kick off the FPV hobby. I am aware that there is a semiconductor shortage at the moment and that is likely to be affecting stock levels at retailers. However, virtually every single online UK drone merchant I have tried has virtually nothing in stock. Is this normal?

The only place I can find to buy what I want (broadly speaking, a TX16s w/ ELRS module, Mobula6 w/ ELRS and DJI FPV V2 goggles) is on BangGood, with the items shipping from China (which will presumably take a number of weeks).

Is this just the norm these days? I was a little taken aback.

Thanks.

Snow

It's not uncommon these days. The big name stuff is easier sometimes.

I've bought tons of electronic stuff over the years , mainly CCTV and drone gear but from Aliexpress. Their shipping seems to be very fast. I've had things delivered in about 15 days. Worth trying them too.
