Doe anyone know where I can find a replacement internal bettery for a Drift Stealth 2? It's a 3.7v 1500mAh li-po measuring 10x34x43mm. I have looked on ebay and if I'm lucky a 10x30x48 may fit if I'm willing to accept limited rotation of the camera lens, which I'm willing to gamble on, but I'd rather have a replacement the correct size.

I've had a quick look on google and came up short, but have you tried there customer services? Apparently I hear they are very good.

Agreed, try their CS team, they've sent out replacement parts to me and were quite helpful.

Worth a try, but the battery isn't mean to be replaceable, so I can't imagine what they'd be sending or recommending.

Unlike their 'Customers' who never think to call them for Service. Razz

Very Happy

Fair point, that would explain it, didn't realise this about the stealth 2 lulz.

I have the ghost and assumed they were all replaceable.

Use an external battery say like a powerbank?

It's how I use my drift HD. I keep the swappable battery in so it doesn't suddenly switch off if the cable gets snagged on something.

The stealth 2 is pretty awful when it comes to connectivity. The usb, hdmi and sdcard all live under the one rear hatch which provides a waterproof seal when in use. That might be ok when the weather's good IF you can get the usb to stay in, but that doesn't really fit my use of it. My innov system is a bit flaky, it usually works, but I've had to keep track of how I return late at night.

The Drfit HD comes with two rear hatches. A water proof one and one with loads of holes in it.

I simply use the one with loads of holes in it and used a tube of silcone bathroom sealant (the non toxic stuff so it doesn't eat the plastic body). So far it's been fine and has survived the winter.

I used to have a drift camera, athough I'm not sure which one. It was black and orange. I used to put cheap camera batteries in it.

I think I bought one of these and a couple of extra batteries.

Edit: The drift was an X170
