Sourcing a Drone Battery
Why Do I Need to Source My Own Battery?
If you're in the United States, you can buy the version of the kit with the battery included.
Otherwise (for now), you'll need to buy the version of the kit without the battery.
This is due to air shipping restrictions on batteries, and we are working to see if we can resolve this. Thank you for your patience as we work this out!
