Gonna take the drone to the Seychelles. Got a bit carried away with embroidery mania.
Carry on limit is 13 lbs. After case and drone, 4.3 lbs left for laptop and misc stuff I don't want to check. Got a pocket digital scale to be my attorney en route.
Checked luggage on the teeny plane is 33 lbs. Batteries go in there. Four of them. Plus cameras and flyfishing gear. They require flats boots, which sucks, because they're huge and heavy. One DSLR and small 18-135mm lens. Light tripod. Dive mask. Necessary battery chargers. 9 and 12 wt rods, tarpon reel, another reel with 10wt line, and a light one with 9 for fun. Gonna be bit of a trick. 30.1 lbs is verboten. Run the simulation next week to take stress off the situation.
Think I'll do layers and wear all my clothes en route. And cargo pants with lots of deep pockets.
And 3DR should take that gratuitous black logo off their backpacks. Leave room for your fans.
