OK ..... I was clearly given duff advice ... however ... I’ll fly happier knowing they’re in a( Reusable) bag ..... and trusting that anyone at the airline who doesn’t know the rules will appreciate them more than some tape over the ends ... have a great weekend all ...

Hi mate ... Tui in UK did .. as I say, for a few quid to avoid embarrassment etc it didn’t bother me a jot ... cheers, Dave

Agree in general with that BUT check your airline rules first ... the Li-Po bags which are cheap are often a stipulated requirement .... I don’t necessarily agree that they need to be but I’d hate to be refused to carry the drone for the sake of a few quids worth of battery bag if that’s the...

Mavmount 3 for me with the lanyard attached ! Works a treat

Went to Cape Verde a few weeks ago on a TUI flight .... had a rucksack with drone, controller and batteries in Li-Po bags along with my DSLR and GoPro ... unsurprisingly, as ever, the bag was emptied after being X-rayed and then after a compliment as to how interesting it all looked I went on my...

Generally 400mm is a minimum for a half decent shot (size wise) .... should be "easier" to photograph the blood moon as its not as bright as a regular moon with its inherent exposure challenges ..... I've been looking for somewhere local to potentially get out and fly the drone at sunset and...

Ah ! I see ! I did consider using a well known auction site but ultimately went for a bit of peace of mind and bought an apple refurbished one directly from Apple ! Well spotted by you though

Yep. I eventually bought a refurbished iPad mini 4 from Apple (refurbished) and a Mavmount and love it

Wow !! Well saved !! Would love to hear an audio track of that ! Lol

OK .... as Prince Charles would say ... I’m all ears ....

I took my Mavic last week to film along the beach/shoreline as most hotels, what there...

Hi Leon Great footage mate ! We went to Sal last year and yesterday returned from a week on Boa Vista .......... As we'd gone to relax, I took the Mavic to film on the beach but we caught one of those weeks where the wind was very strong so whilst it made sunbathing easier, it did nothing for...

Hi Iain Yes good points those ........ interestingly I have indeed also bought the lanyard to go with the Mavmount and a sunshade is a great idea Just returned from Cape Verde .... no issues taking the drone and all the bits away with us BUT .... as I feared ..... too windy on the beach...

Yes I'm building up to that but, as a self-employed accountant, I really need all of my calculator fingers !! lol Seriously though, I have tried a few times with a leather gardening glove and feel more comfortable that I thought I would .... Cheers

Hi There.... I agree with Msinger..... I bought an iPad Mini 4 with cellular and it works great especially now I have my Mavmount as well ....
