So I'm heading over to Barbados with family in a few weeks.
My Mavic arrived a while ago and I was looking forward to taking it out there for some tropical footage, but then discovered that they have now made the importation of drones illegal in Barbados...
However, bearing in mind that folded up the Mavic doesn't really look like a drone and it's small enough to stash away in a suitcase, with remote control separate and batteries in hand luggage, I'm considering bringing it with me anyway.
Does anyone have experience of Barbados customs and whether it's possible to get it through?
If worst case is that they'll take it and hold on to it for the duration of the trip I could survive. I wouldn't want to risk them taking and keeping it though.
Any thoughts/experiences?
