Did you know that airlines only have maximum liability coverage for flights by the Montreal Convention of approximately 1,288 SDR (±$1,700 USD)? This is the most that airlines must pay a passenger or company for a lost, damaged, or delayed package or bag.
With a tracking device like an AirTag or SmartTag, you will know the whereabouts of your luggage/drone at all times when transporting it with a tracking device. Possible package loss or time loss due to transport will herewith be nearly minimized to 0% risk.
Get yourself a tracking device now and secure your luggage.
Make LiPo bags an essential part of your travel and battery handling routine.
Batteries are a necessity for powering our electronics on the go, but can pose a hidden danger. Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries, commonly found in RC drones, laptops, and camera equipment, are prone to overheating and even catching fire if damaged or mishandled.
Don't wait for an incident to happen and get yours today to ensure the safe transport and storage of your LiPo batteries. Remember: Your safety and the safety of those around you are paramount.
Don't just see the world, experience it and relive it forever. Get yourself a camera drone or action camera to let you capture your travels in stunning detail, from heart-pounding hikes to breathtaking landscapes.
Get a drone to soar above and see the world from a new perspective. Capture stunning aerial shots of your adventures and transform your travel memories from snapshots to cinematic adventures.
Are you looking more for something to capture every adrenaline rush and epic moment, that is waterproof, then also get yourself an action camera here.
SPF is not just for sunny and the summer months. Whether it's the colder months, being on the ski slopes or going out in the forest in the spring, or laying on a sunbed at the beach.

Carry-on is Key:
Whenever possible, pack your drone in your carry-on luggage. Airlines are only responsible for limited amounts (SDR 1,288, around $1,700 USD) for lost checked baggage according to the Montreal Convention. This means lost or stolen drones in checked luggage can be a big financial headache, especially with international flights and layovers.
High-Value Drones:
Consider Shipping: If your drone is worth more than $1,000 USD and can't fit in your carry-on, explore shipping options like DHL, FedEx, or UPS. Be sure to fully insure the shipment for peace of mind.
Battery Safety is Paramount:
Absolutely DO NOT pack drone batteries in your checked luggage. Lithium-ion batteries are considered hazardous materials by airlines due to past fire incidents. Pack them in a fire-resistant LiPo battery bag, and bring them in your carry-on.
Strict Rules, Big Consequences:
Airlines have strict regulations for lithium-ion batteries. Improper packing (like skipping the LiPo bag) can lead to confiscated batteries, fines, or even denied boarding. Don't risk it!
