Message: <blockquote data-quote="derekhollis" data-source="post: 1609732" data-attributes="member: 77656">I bought an Opticron ES 80 Fieldscope v3 yesterday with Zoom eyepiece, Velbon Delta V tripod, and even a hide clamp, and the Hyundai L1033 kit. In my research prior to buying a kit, I joined a couple of these forums, and people seem to be of the opinion that it is a good idea to have a spare battery for the camera, for being out in the field and not wanting to be without power for the camera.  In fact I bought on for the Nikon Coolpix - the camera which malfunctioned and which went back to the supplier.  Do you know where batteries for the Hyundai can be obtained from, please?  The web site of a  popular high street retailer doesn't even recognize "Hyundai". I have looked on <a href="http://www.hyundaicamera.eu/en/support/" target="_blank">http://www.hyundaicamera.eu/en/support/</a> and notice that there does not seem to be an address in the UK.  Hyundai, I must say, was a name I was familiar with from the back end of cars, but didn't associate with cameras.  Am I right in thinking that they are better known for cameras on mainland Europe?</blockquote>
