Camera batteries and drone rules for travel

Check how to pack camera batteries for a flight and where to find the rules for taking a drone abroad.

Traveling with a camera can mean checking two different sets of rules: how to carry spare batteries on a flight and whether you can take or fly a drone at your destination. Start with the guide that matches the gear you plan to bring. If you are packing spare batteries, read the flight guidance. If you plan to use a drone abroad, look up the rules for visitors at your destination before you travel.

Use the destination-specific information for your trip, since drone requirements can differ from one country to another. The guides point to aviation authority rules and give the date those rules were checked. Check that date, then confirm the current requirements with the relevant authority before departure if needed. This category covers camera batteries and drones when you travel. It does not compare camera models or cover other photography gear, so it is not the place to choose a camera or plan what to photograph. Use it to identify which travel rules apply to the gear you intend to pack.
