I was actually quite impressed – I purchased a Phantom Pro+ Obsidian April 2018 for $2689.00, after a few flight with no incidents the Left hand up/down Gimbal control wheel on the remote ceased functioning mid May 2018. I then went through the DJI support site & followed the instructions on how to submit a DJI warranty claim & posted the remote to the Victorian DJI Repair… Read more
centre.
About a week later I received an invoice for repairs and I rung DJI questioning why I was being charged $107.00 for the 5 week old malfunctioning gimbal wheel repair?
Only after the DJI person had trouble chasing up the serial number that I had given for the drone did I find out this was in fact a UK model drone and therefore was not going to be repaired for free by DJI in Australia.
Admittedly I was a bit shocked to find this out.
I then rang Aus-Cameras, there was no answer, I left my phone number, someone then rang me back within the hour. As no one was picking up the phone I also sent an email to Aus-Cameras during that hour.
I then searched their web site and saw then that all warranties must be sent back to them and not to DJI.
I think this could be made a bit clearer on their invoices, as the warranty link is a little hard to see on their site
.
As I had a Remote Pilot course booked at The University of Adelaide on the 28th May at a cost of $3850.00, I immediately went into panic mode and thought I now have no choice but to pay the repair costs to have any chance of getting the drone repaired and sent back to me. I could see myself walking into this course to become certified by CASA with no drone to fly.
Needless to say initially I felt very mislead & assumed when I bought a product in Australia this sort of thing should never happen. I gave AUS-CAMERAS all the DJI case details and wondered how all this would work out.
I am not someone who lets this sort of stuff go by, I have in the past posted numerous product reviews on YouTube. Product review websites etc:.
When a seller is good I tell people, when a seller makes no attempt to help you out, I tell EVERYONE.
Well Aus-Cameras surprised me, they refunded the payment that DJI hit me with in full.
I should have read the site before going to DJI in regards to where items should be sent for warranty issues. I am now hoping to get the remote back in time for the course.
I guess what fuelled me was while waiting for an answer I read a few negative reviews about Aus-Cameras and instantly went into "I am gonna get screwed here".
BUT nope, they were in fact very helpful and sympathetic.
So there, don't disregard the good reviews and only concentrate on the bad ones, every case is different and there are always two sided to a story....In my case, I started out writing a frustrated rant and ended up retracting most of it. I was actually quite impressed with their service & confident they will be there if I have any further issues.
Price is good but so far experience has been poor – Price for the Mavic Pro has been good as I've been able to save about $200 effectively, however this is not without trade offs. The product is clearly grey market, coming directly from Hong Kong. The name of "Aus-Cameras" makes me think it's an Aussie product but I should have known better What has been more frustrating has been the shipping… Read more
process. The website states that Australia post is one of the shippers. I checked and there was no note about the company not shipping to Parcel Lockers so I added my Parcel Locker address for the shipping address. Jist in case this was a problem I added a comment to the order with an alternate address for shipping.
Sadly someone ignored the note and simply sent the package to the billing address, which is an address I never accept shippments at. This has caused all sorts of frustration with the courier (TNT in this case).
Th package went out almost two weeks after the order was placed. I placed the order on a Saturday and the shippmemt went our two Thirsdays later.
They shippment also didn't include the extra battery which was promised. This was sent several days later, using a different courier and again to the wrong address.
Contact has been by email and replies have been within 24 hours on most days. They have been friendly but not overly concerned with the frustration this has caused me.
Overall I would probably use a local supplier next time as these issues are too frustrating for me for the money saved.
Fantastic Service!! – Wrote these guys an email asking about shipping time for the DJI Mavic Pro and had a prompt response from Sophie advising that it would ship a day after payment cleared. I was a bit skeptical because I had never heard of this place before, and Paypal isn't one of their payment options. But, I decided to take the risk and buy the Mavic. I did the… Read more
bank transfer on a Thursday, payment cleared on the Friday and I received an email specifying it would be posted on the Monday.
Monday came round and I hadn't received any emails so I fired one off. Shortly after sending the email, I received shipping information with an ETA and a tracking number for DHL. I was expecting to receive the Mavic by the end of the week, but it was delivered on Wednesday!! I was very impressed with the 1 week time frame, from payment to having it in my hands! Especially considering it was sent from Hong Kong to Australia! Unbelievable!
TLDR: Fast response to emails, fast handling and postage times. Product works great! This place delivers (literally)!

Negative reviews
Disappointed – I received camera and 2 lenses,that was great the worse part was that I got charged 25.00 for overseas transaction.....they advertise AUS camera but they are actually Nikon overseas , so ppl don’t get caught out by the extra charges like I got stung by....and if you are just reading this I would be checking your credit card statements......but look aside from that camera is amazing....
Don't ever buy from this company – Terrible customer service, slow shipping paid for express, still took over a week. Would not recommend take your money elsewhere.
No After Sales Service – Apart from, no direct contact with the company as there phone is permanently on answer machine,,,, they dont even bother to get back to you with emails. There after sales service would have to be up there with the worst i have dealt with. The promises to get back to you are lies. I wouldn't recommend them for anything.

Excellent service – Aus-Cameras were very competitive and it was easier to see a price for everything I wanted rather than some websites that you had to go through and price every item, which eventually ended up more expensive. Communication was excellent and delivery was super prompt. Will be looking at Aus-Camera again when wanting more accessories for the the camera.
