If 3DR was honest about shipments clearing customs last week I would expect B&H to be part of that shipment. So yes, I think they'll have your gimbal this week.

I believe Brian since B&H seems pretty good and honest, my only concern would be whether they recieve that shipment in a couple days. Since all signs are finally coming together like best buy and my email from 3dr as well as your answer and the customs comment from 3dr, I'd say we should have them by next weekend most likley. This is the first time I've seen more than one source have the same answer so that a good sign.

Well, for the people that ordered early 4th, 5th & 6th months have a good chance of being in the front seat. I my self believe, I must wait for other shipments to arrive before i see mines. place full order on the mid july 13th.
Im fine with it. as long as i see the line moving, i don't mind.

I just got shipment confirmation (with tracking #) for my gimbal from 3DR. I ordered directly from them the 16h of August,

I guess I could start whining here as I ordered 4 months earlier, but for the free battery for ordering b4 July 15th?

Don't know how they are doing it. When I ordered they said 4-5 weeks, and it's now been just over 3 weeks.

I thought we were talking all about shipping from B&H? This is getting confusing?.
If you ordered from B&H, then call them, they got the batteries.

yup, had 'em fer weeks... ya know, "sent to warehouse for expeidited delivery"?

no hurry, without the gimbal one batt's enough.
if they don't ship the whole pile this week, I'll poke at 'em again.
I actually had ordered an extra battery as well, I know they are trying to save on shipping by waiting for the order to complete but hey, hit the card for $150 a month ago would be a "bird in hand" ..right?

guess not. no problem-
it's all good-

I have 2 batteries, but ordered another from B&H Thursday "Hoping they say, he's a good customer, lets give him his Gimbal" LOL..... Nah...
1 of the batteries going bad, max 5 min. of use, so ordered another, it's will be here wednesday.
Trying to get 3DR to send me a replacement. It's like pulling teeth. Should have went to B&H first? But then reading your post maybe not B&H LOL
