Can I take a SLR on the plane?

You can take a SLR on the plane. According to the regulations of domestic airlines, you can't turn on the camera with camera in the middle, even in flight mode. If it is a tablet, card machine, micro-single, SLR, it is not recommended to use it in the take-off and landing phase, and it can be used in the rest of the time.

Under normal circumstances, it is not recommended to consign precision equipment such as SLR with valuables for the following three reasons.

First, consignment is easy to break down. I wonder if you have seen how the baggage handlers at the airport throw their luggage?

If you have seen it, you will feel sorry for your suitcase. In order to ensure that the luggage is sent to the plane or conveyor belt as soon as possible, it is difficult for them to handle it slowly, and they usually carry it at the fastest speed.

Therefore, experienced travelers rarely put gifts and valuables in checked baggage, mainly considering the great risk of being broken.

Second, the amount of compensation is limited. If you really put the SLR in the checked suitcase and find that the lens or machine is broken, you can claim compensation from the airline.

But the problem is that the amount of compensation is not as much as you said. In addition to purchasing invoices, it depends on the declared amount. If you happen to buy a very advanced SLR camera and it costs tens of thousands of yuan, it depends on whether the relevant company can pay the original price.

Because according to the regulations of the Global Shipping Association, there is a certain upper limit on the amount of compensation, and it is necessary to negotiate with the relevant companies.

Third, it is inconvenient to take pictures. When I sit down after boarding the plane, I sometimes want to take pictures of the decorations or meals in the cabin. There is no camera at this time, so you can only take pictures with your mobile phone.
