I would like to take my Phantom with me on some trips. I wonder what experiences others have had who might have tried or done this?
At present I would use the original box and take it as a carry-on. The issues might be:
There are regulations by some airlines about NOT carrying Li-ion camera/computer/whatever batteries in carry-on.....they want you to check them......irregularly or rarely enforced. But I have run into it. Anyone know whether the airlines have any issues with Li-po batteries?? That would be a pretty fine hair to expect a TSA agent to split. I could, of course, put the Li-pos in checked luggage.....to possibly freak out the scanners??
The transmitter might set off alarm bells. Turned off....of course. Batteries removed....not a bad idea. But still.....??? Not that, in reality, it probably has no more or less dangerous potential than, say, an iphone.
And then there is that "drone" association thing.
Anyone done it??
Thanks,
Peter Patricelli
