Case size for I2 as shipped from DJI

[Dr Jon]

Case size measure 58cm x 54cm x 26cm

so exceeds the carry on size for most airlines.

Therefore need to take batteries and for some airlines also the remote in your carry on.

I spoke to KLM today and was informed that if the batteries don't have a box supplied by DJI then i will need to wrap the terminals of each battery to ensure these cant be short circuited. Cling film and in its own plastic bag was acceptable.

The RC in carry on because the battery can't be removed !

Charge state should be as defined by DJI at about 30%. (one LED on when checked) if these rules are not followed you could have them confiscated.

KLM also mentioned it depends on the strictness of the air port security and also transit airports. There have been cases that batteries have been confiscated at check in for transit flight in airports like Dubai.

So a little forward planning is worth the effort i think

Very good info.. Seems we will need to be thinking this through before jumping on a flight.

Tried carrying the Inspire 2 case on a Delta flight in Hawaii last week. Got on board with it but they were the older style overhead bins (not the ones that drop down) so there was no way to store it anywhere on board. Had to gate check

They are wrong about the controller, as per their own chart, you can pack that in the hold bags because the battery is installed inside a piece of equipment...

Even so, I might be inclined to carry it on with you if it isn't inconvenient just to keep it safe.
