Hi..not sure where you are but i got my Solo and free battery from Best Buy in the Chicago area in just under 1 week, just recently..1st week of July At this store, I had to ask for the free battery...it was not advertised. Also ordered a 3rd batter last Thursday and it is supposed to be in the store in about 5 business days.. Best Buy has them... keep asking for the free battery. They should still give you one until BHPhoto stops free battery offer. I think BB is a little dishonest that they don't offer battery up front, especially on their web page.
Just took the bird out and some how changed a setting on the gopro ....................................................... Really wish the other battery comes in soon! I called best buy to see if they had any in stock because I was just going to buy another.
