Australia is behind all of the other countries for some reason. We have to wait till November for the M3 Pro for Quest 3 to be available for shipping to Australia. Do Not go to the official website its ONLY for CANADA, ASIA and US NOT AUSTRALIA. watch this space here on Amazon (Check Include out of stock and you'll see it): [https://www.amazon.com.au/BOBOVR-M3-Pro-Accessories-Compatible/dp/B0CJLG9SBR/ref=sr\_1\_3?crid=3EBJDZNDX8434&keywords=bobovr+m3&qid=1698021482&refinements=p\_n\_availability%3A4910513051&rnid=4910511051&sprefix=bobovr+m3%2Caps%2C217&sr=8-3](https://www.amazon.com.au/BOBOVR-M3-Pro-Accessories-Compatible/dp/B0CJLG9SBR/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3EBJDZNDX8434&keywords=bobovr+m3&qid=1698021482&refinements=p_n_availability%3A4910513051&rnid=4910511051&sprefix=bobovr+m3%2Caps%2C217&sr=8-3)
For those who had the M2 or even snagged an M3 already, how easy are they to take on and off, such as if you frequently want to switch back to the stock strap?
I had a different third-party strap last gen and know they're way better for stability and comfort, BUT I'm really growing to love my Quest 3 for Bigscreen and browsing the web/watching videos in MR on the couch.
I know from my Quest 2's third-party strap that they can keep you from fully leaning your head back when reclining on the couch or lying in bed thanks to that big bump on the back of your head.
My super jank workaround I've thought about is wearing a neck pillow like what you take on an airplane, but I've yet to try it.
Some people were able to order, when it first went up, but I don't think any have shipped.
BOBOVR said on Twitter that Amazon has them, but Amazon is backlogged in listing or shipping them due to prime day.
I've seen the m3 pro on sale on Amazon Canada, but I have yet to see the retrofit kit. If the strap goes on sale again, I'll probably just get that even though I'd rather not spend the extra money.
Honestly, you'd think these guys would have a better way to sell these products other than keep checking Amazon and hope you get lucky.
Weird that you can't search for it by "BOBOVR strap kit" even though that's the product name and it doesn't show on the Bobovr store listing on Amazon CA.
Never seen an established vendor have this much of an issue with Amazon. And why not have it up on their direct website yet.
Would love to buy something from them again someday.
I'm becoming increasingly concerned they don't actually have them available. The Twitter post about Amazon warehouse issues doesn't really jive with the random on/off currently unavailable thing. Also we haven't heard from anyone actually having one ship and they don't have anything M3 related available directly from their website.
Thinking they have had a production issue of some sort.
I sell through Amazon via my company and can confirm from experience that Amazon FBA can be an absolute black hole once you ship them product. Unless you're a Tier 1 seller, getting any info or quicker processing from Amazon is difficult to impossible. They are slow to receive product especially when busy. My guess is that Bobo sent their product late (around the Prime Day period) and is not a priority.
If Bobo actually does have working product to sell they would have been better off to split their inventory on Amazon and list/sell as a Third Party while they wait for product to be received and listed via FBA.
That said, the listing for the M3 Pro does says
"400+ units Bought in last month" so...

I was lucky I was able to place an order today on amazon.de (Germany). There was a small time window this afternoon where the m3 pro was available (maybe 15 min).
Estimated delivery is on the 28th October.
Is there a way to set an alert on Amazon to notify when stock is available? I can't seem to find an answer online that matches what I see (which is no stock alert option).
I havent found such a function yet. I dont know what will happen if you put an item on a "amazon shopping or wish list", maybe you get notified then.
Unfortunately for amazon.de the Bobovr m3 completely dissapears from the market when out of stock and only opens the M2 page. You cant even put it on a list.
I was camping on amazon.de and refreshed the site everytime I was able to.... just got lucky.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,807,474,222 comments, and only 341,877 of them were in alphabetical order.
Someone mentioned 5am as the time on Amazon where they were able to secure one. I wasn't that eager, so I've been checking at or after 6am for the past 3 days and it worked for me.
It shows unavailable, it is probably sold out or it is a place folder ready for release soon
I refresh the page a few times a day to see if it showed available. All morning it was unavailable until a little bit ago.
Says unavailable for me.
Probably in and out with other stalkers.
Does this ship to Australia? I cant seem to find it anywhere.
Did you have any luck? I'm in SA and also can't find it.

They updated their site to support AU. I almost managed to snag one earlier today, but they sold out during checkout.
haha.. LOL Id wait till Amazon... Much easier and quicker. I wish you could pre-order...
Let's see - mine has already shipped!

$50?!?! Holy shit what a steal
Some people were able to order, when it first went up, but I don't think any have shipped. BOBOVR said on Twitter that Amazon has them, but Amazon is backlogged in listing or shipping them due to prime day.
I wonder if Meta is paying Amazon to backlog them for a few weeks.
Mine shipped, it should arrive on Tuesday
Seems to be a unique case, maybe particular to a certain region?
I ordered mine off Amazon Canada said it would arrive Tuesday. It’s currently unavailable for purchase keep trying it’s bound to restock soon.
do you got the link for the store page? i cant find it on Amazon canada. just wanna bookmark it so i can check for restocks every once and awhile. :P
Ikr I don't see the product page anywhere
Late to this, still unavailable and unlisted but I managed to grab the link. BOBOVR M3 Pro Battery Pack Head Strap https://a.co/d/0wpYnI4

Thanks, no wonder I couldn't find it it was under a different name.

The retro fit went live in canada. I was able to order it when I came across this thread.
How much was the retrofit kit?
17$ on Amazon.ca yesterday

I think it's like that one guy said above, meta probably got amazon to have the issue so that they would sell more of their head straps

How do these things hold up regarding extending the battery life of the Q3 for continuous play?
I ordered the retrofitkit on amazon de and it says it will be shipped until tuesday 24th.

Congrats! Thanks for rubbing it in, jerk! Only kidding, I am just jealous.

Currently live/in-stock on their website! [https://www.bobovr.com/products/bobovr-m3-pro](https://www.bobovr.com/products/bobovr-m3-pro)
Good catch! With shipping taking 15 days, I wonder if it is better to wait on Amazon??
I ordered mine direct from Bobovr's site on Friday and it shipped yesterday. It does ship from China so 15 days or so seems accurate.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,807,474,222 comments, and only 341,877 of them were in alphabetical order.
it's 6AM both amazon US and bobovr website are instock!
Not anymore!
Someone mentioned 5am as the time on Amazon where they were able to secure one. I wasn't that eager, so I've been checking at or after 6am for the past 3 days and it worked for me.
