    Mavic South Africa

    Morning, have any of you recently flown / traveled with your drone? Over December I went to Auz for a month, and normally you are required to keep your drone / batteries in your cabin bag.

    Mavic South Africa

    I flew to Cape Town recently, I let my battery discharge down to about 50%, but had it in its case in my carry on, battery attached and no issues. I was on Mango if that helps.

    Howzit Guys.. I've recently got my Mavic Pro, bought it off a mate who has only flown it 3 times. Im in Durban, so keen to find some other guys to fly with, or locations to try out.
