In my link there is the only currently available offer from Europe. But too expensive

There is a UK ebay listing but it doesn't ship to German speaking EU countries! - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142005042200

Does this have something to do with EU trade rules?
I just logged on to the site it says in red: does not post to U.S.A.
Odd, our States wouldn't do this to each other!

thank you! that's a good source, though lil bit expensive and I dont know either bout the transport costs and delay. I contacted them and will wait for the answer. Thank you for the links anyway. How long do you own this Git2 you bought from them? Any complaints? Does it work like it should?

At the bottom there are different options like "with mic and remote control" or "with case and remote control" and so on. Also there are the different prices listed.

I contacted the shop from the first link and hope they will answer soon.

Oh, and by the way: I opened my SJ5000X already. The mainboard doesnt seem to have any issues. Might be the lens. I thought they sell it somewhere so I can replace it. But I can't find it anywhere.. Theres a guy somewhere in Austria selling his defective Elite with mic not working. Maybe I'll buy it from him to replace my lens.. but I need something very soon. The 27th is the day I go to my adventure..

Yes it is more expensive than china shops, price is with 21%VAT included. But also there is 2 years warranty. If i order it directly from china, i need to pay customs fees and VAT, so result will be similar, so i decided to buy from local reseller with longer warranty.

I bought remote on aliexpress way and still considering buying of external mic.

I have Git2 for about month and i can not complain about it.. I also choosing between SJ5000X elite and Git2 and finally choose Git2 because i like low contrast option in 1.5 firmware and really good gyro stabilisation.
Main purpose why i buy this camera was photo timelapses, and it disappointed me little bit, because i expecting possibility of RAW picture every one second and in reality it is slower - one RAW per 4s. But still hope, it should be fixed by new firmware.
Video is not bad considering sensor and optics and i really like low contrast possibility, because you can do more in postproduction, because you do not lost so many pixels just by overall high contrast..

Btw, maybe you can make trip from Austria to Prague, visit that nice city, and buy camera in their shop There are direct bus connection between lots of Austrian cities and Prague..

I see. Well, I bought my Elite from the EU Warehouse so it had no taxes on it. But the time lapse is still good right? I mean apart from being able to edit it as you wish.. its fine, right?
I thought about a city trip to. But I only got this week left. Furthermore the minimum costs of bus tickets for me would be 30€ in total. So I'm not sure

The taxes for video camera in Europe are very expensive.For example, for an action camera you need to pay 14 %costum taxes(wich is unique in Europe) and 20%VAT in Romania, very very much in my opinion.
