travel

Hi all, Just got back from my trip to Cape Town. It was the first time I took my P4 abroad and I'm happy to say that I got through all the airports and security without any delays, stops, or problems at all. The bag I used (Navitech) worked perfectly and was comfortable to travel with too. I...

On my recent trip to New York, I discovered that the styrofoam case that the P4 Pro comes in fits perfectly in a carry-on suitcase. The styro case takes the drone, controller, 2 batteries, and the tablet, and there is still room in the carry-on for more batteries and extra gear. Since the...

I am thinking about upgraded the the Phantom 4 Pro Plus and haven't found any backpacks or cases that say they are compatible. Has anyone found anything that works yet?

This is important for the drone community. Seems like a lot of people are getting into trouble in other countries, so can someone(mod) please keep a simple tab on which countries are not good for drone travelling? This can be ran like the p3/p4 range leaderboards, so if someone was looking for a...

Hi all, In prep of my first trip abroad with my drone (which I'm very excited about by the way!), I have been doing some research into how best to travel with a Phantom and, although I've found the info needed, it's not always been so easy to find, so I made this video to try and assist others...

Looking for a 5.11 rush backpack...what's your price? Also, list backpacks here for the p4 if you are looking to sell it.

I've got a fair bit of travel planned in the next year, all with British Airways, starting in December, and I'm trying to find out about travel restrictions and taking the drone with. From what I gather from the BA website, there are certain restrictions on batteries that if I comply with, I...

Hi there fellow Phanton pilots! I'm planning on taking my P3A (hard shell backpack) on a domestic flight across the US, and have read through multiple threads containing advice and discussions about what should and should not be done when taking your drone on commercial flights. Understanding...

Hi Alll! Newbie here to the drone world. I recently got the Phantom 3 standard as a birthday gift from my husband, and we'd love to take it to Taiwan for our holiday! I don't know if we'll be able to get 3G/4G while on vacation (or how much it'll cost to turn on data roaming while overseas), so...

I currently own an Airport Helipack backpack that is really handy when it comes to traveling, it fits a lot of equipment you would use during a vacation. Now I am looking for a backpack that is small and not as bulky as the helipack, something I can just grab and go to do some local flying...

A friend bought these locks for his case (Nanuk 950) and just ordered a pair for myself as I have the same case. They have a a really heavy duty construction, fit the thickness of the lock holes great, and are TSA approved. In the past I had to use either smaller locks that were hard to put on...

Hello fellow members! My Dedicated PolarPro Drone Trekker backpack thread for the first iteration of the Drone Trekker, with over 6,500 views, revealed the way members on here travel with their drone. It turns out most simply travel by car! Personally, in that scenario, I use the DJI case my...

I have a trip coming up to Cabo and wanted to know the rules and regulations around the following ... 1. What are the best practices around flying with a drone. Will be flying Alaska airlines from Sea - San Diego - Cabo. Can I carry the craft in hand luggage and put the batteries in checkin...

Hello my fellow Phantom pilots!! I am probably not the only pilot suffering this "disconnect" nightmare at this current moment. I have the Phantom 4 and when I received it I followed the usual procedure of activating, calibrating and all the good stuff. I had a successful flight and flew 6 times...

Hi flyers: In a few months I'll be visiting a third world country which does not yet have a fixed policy about allowing tourists personal use drones like the Phantom 3 Pro. Arriving baggage is x rayed and there are reports of many people getting in without issue and others of people having...

I've read posts on traveling to Mexico with a Phantom but many are dated and offered different experiences. Does anyone have any 2016 insight as to problems taking the drone? It will be used for private purposes only, on a family vacation. I'm not taking anything other than a stock P3A, 2...

Hello Fellas, I am Tom and I love my drone! I have spent several hours researching how to make my P4 fit in my current busy travel lifestyle so I can always have it with me. Work has me flying once or often twice a month. I never check-in luggage so I carry a duffle bag (overhead compartment...

Greetings Fellow Flyers, I am heading to Uganda in May to film a missionary group traveling the country. Naturally, I would really like to bring my Phantom 3 with me. However, I am reading A LOT of mixed reports about doing so. Few sites say they are banned and illegal as of Feb 2015, but I...

We are about to travel with our Phantom 4 (plus batteries) via American Airlines. Anyone know anything about policies and if we can bring this as a carry on? My concerns are the batteries really, but I am also worried about the drone itself. Also, do I need to buy a lipo guard bag? Do I need to...

Hey everyone! Complete n00b to the forums here, but in Ecuador and planning on a few other countries in Central and South America soon. Was wondering what your experiences were with your drones down here. So far I apparently got somewhat lucky getting my Phantom 3 Pro into Ecuador. Any...
