I have an original Feiyu cam pocket. I mislaid it for a couple of years and have recently come across it. The battery is dead! I have found a replacement on AliExpress, but they will not ship to the UK. My brother in Ireland gets the same. Long shot, but would anybody out there attempt to get me one and then ship it over to England please? The battery is - Hongwell 2X452167 7.7V
I'm not sure if this sort of request is allowed, my apologies to the mods if it has to be deleted.
I have been in touch with tech support, they say the batteries are no longer available and suggest that I buy a new camera as the one I have is old and out dated!!

Older Feiyutech stuff you are gonna have a hard time getting parts for anywhere globally so beware when buying the more obscure brands out there. That is basically a DJI Osmo clone and parts are virtually unobtainium for Feiyutech's gen 1. Sorry to say this but the manufacturer is going to probably be right on this one. Even if you get what you need, it's gonna be a lot of effort to replace and ship a 7 dollar part.
I ran into a similar issue with my Crane 3s pro when trying to find a replacement baseplate and ended up having to buy and modify a 3rd party replacement. I since switched to my Ronin RS4 Pro and never turned back.
If you buy a replacement, check out DJI. They don't cost that much more. The Osmo 2 is still very relevant! They give you a better sensor, longer battery life, better gimbal and PLENTY of 3rd party support to where you should get a pretty good lifespan out of it long after they release the next version.
IF you are serious about trying to keep the old pocket cam, look at used sites like Mpb.com if you can't get someone to help out. They MIGHT be able to ship to you as I know they had no issues shipping full gimbals previously. It's unlikely to be there but a marked down used one occasionally shows up.
