Hi, guys.
Got myself a DJI Phantom 3 pro last week, very happy with its performance so far.
My maiden flight video below, I know, I need a ND filter, LOL.




I have a few questions here, hopefully sifu2 can enlighten me, thanks in advance.

1. Can I hand carry the phantom 3 to board MAS Japan flight?

2. Any backpack recommendation for storing phantom 3 and camera gears (Sony A6000+4 lens)?
I prefer not to carry one bag for camera gears another bag for phantom 3 while traveling to other countries.

Then you really need a huge pelican case for it..

This is what i have for my phantom and it pass the regulated hand carry dimension.. Unless u can squeeze all your gear in there (which i doubt u can, given u have 4 lenses) your other option is a separate bag..

DJI is selling a nice bag pack to fit the drone

but if you want to fit the drone into less bulkier and less suspicious and slimmer backpack you need that collapsible skid from RC depot.

Pelican case provides very good protection, but I prefer something more easy to bring along when traveling.

You mean the DJI Phantom Backpack? Very expensive, USD $329...
Collapsible skid? Can you show me the link?

BTW, what gimbal you used to mount A6000 on the drone?

the phantom itself already big.. the best is the Phantom backpack.. not the hard shell type.. the one they use design from Kata bag.. you can use the top compartment to store your camera and lenses..

that DJI Phantom backpack more expensive than my pelican..

phantom 3 pro/advance already integrate their gimbal and have their own integrated camera as well..

Oh i thought you mounted A6000 on the drone

Nice, but the price is not cheap, can get a decent backpack d.

BTW, do you guys know will I have trouble if I hand carry my P3 to board MAS international flights?

Something with LiPo batt will have to go inside cargo.. Travel with my rc car will have to put inside cargo.. You mean like openly hold it hand carry?

I mean hand carry the P3 craft in a backpack to board MAS international flight.

I read lots of ppl using this method to carry their Phantom to board other airlines' flights, not sure about MAS.

Shouldn't be a problem.. Just put the smart lipo batt inside the bag going into cargo.. My rc bag is huge so i just put everything inside cargo..

Hopefully so, but I read many phantom users says it is better to bring the lipo batts to cabin by storing them in lipo guard bag.

Thanks for your replies, bro.

P3 can support such weight?

Have you checked with the country that you can fly a drone?

yup lipo guard bag works as well..

Hi bro which firmware are u using now?

Stock or latest update?

I hand carry my phantom 2, lipo battery better to hand carry. Some country dont allow check in batteries.

Planning to bring my P3 to Japan, as I know most of the places in Japan allow flying a drone.
But Tokyo and Osaka has ban drones in all their public parks.
