Heading over to WA in August / September this year for a wedding… should have lots of time free though to get some interesting pictures.. Was thinking of the salt lakes etc…
I’ve checked with WA authorities, and the regulations seem very similar to those in the UK - apart from the fact that they don’t allow drone flying at night… no problem.
My question is more about airlines - taking batteries on board. Has anyone had any experience with this - should I be contacting the airline to make sure it’s OK to take them. I know the batteries can’t go in the hold, but this will be my first experience taking a drone. I kind of assumed it would be the same as travelling with a DSLR camera. Am I right?
Never had any issues on airlines, but do check with the airline concerned.
Essentially always have the drone in your hand luggage.
A few minor airlines do not allow drones so check on the banned items list.
Your biggest issue is whether you are breaking your journey.
Some countries may not allow drones to enter their country, even if you are not flying. So if spending a few days in say the middle East, please do check.
Whilst you might only have a layover at an airport to change planes, there is always a small risk of needing to go landside through security.
One final thing - on a layover, don’t be tempted to fly in the terminal
I’ve got one lipo bag. Can get another couple. Thanks for the advice. We don’t go till mid August but I like to get things squared away.
My mini 4 pro drone arrived yesterday - so back flying again. Traded in the air2 and the mini 3 for the 4 from MPB. Looks like it’s not been used. Had about 10 short flights on it.
Flew with KLM abroad last year and had dslr camera with 5 batteries and mini 4 pro with 3 batteries, checked the KLm website 1st and said allowed think maximum of 10 batteries …i just removed them from all devices and hand carried with no issues at the airports travelling in either directions
