Can I take my camera on the plane? Can I check it?

How can you travel without a camera in your backpack? However, it has become common sense to carry electronic equipment with you, but there should be cases where your battery exceeds the standard and you are refused to carry it. So what should I do with my camera when I fly?

How to bring the camera? The camera and lens are put in the camera bag and carry-on bag and taken directly to the plane. Please take all photographic equipment (including flash, spare battery, microphone and other accessories) out of your bag and pass through the security inspection machine alone (X-rays will not damage the camera and lens). Never check cameras and lenses, and try not to check drones. According to the personal experience of predecessors, even the protective boxes of equipment such as pelicans and polar bears can't completely avoid the damage caused by barbaric shipment.

How to wear a tripod? Different airports and airlines have different requirements for the length of tripods. JOBY's portable tripod is of course fine, but it is not easy to take a tripod with a contraction length of more than 60cm on the plane.

Finally, a reminder: all balance cars and electric scooters can't be taken on the plane. Consignment is also unacceptable. "Can my camera pass the security check?"

First of all, we can't generalize.

After all, cameras are divided into digital cameras and film cameras.

Let's talk about the most likely impact of digital camera X-rays.

Is the camera CCD or CMOS? Is the photosensitive element sensitive to x-rays? There is actually no particularly authoritative statement on this point.

However, because X-rays belong to invisible light, it will not affect the photosensitive elements and the X-rays of security inspection machines in subways and railway stations in theory.

In fact, the dose is relatively small, and the X-ray power of airport hand baggage security inspection is relatively low, which will not affect it under normal circumstances.

Don't check! Don't check! Don't check!

Otherwise, the machine will be destroyed and the mirror will die, and you will regret it!

Besides, the X-ray dose of checked baggage is much larger.

This is also one of the reasons why you are advised not to check the camera.

Moreover, most airlines expressly stipulate that

Lithium batteries are not allowed to be checked. Remember to carry spare batteries with you!

How do you know the battery capacity of notebook digital cameras and other products?

Because the battery voltage of these products is different, the energy unit "watt-hour" is clearly marked. The low-end notebook battery is about 30-40 WHr, the middle-end battery is 60 WHr, and the high-end battery is between 80-100WHr. The digital camera is between 6- 15 WHr.

It is strongly recommended that you take a relatively cheap secondary battery with you when you go out-it is not very painful if you have to throw it away. If you are forced to give up the spare battery at the domestic airport, you can go to JD.COM to make up the bill immediately and send the spare battery directly to the destination hotel-the logistics speed in JD.COM, China is still very strong.

The camera bag and carry-on bag are equipped with necessary certificates, a small amount of clothes and all electronic products such as cameras, lenses, computers (notebooks, tablets), mobile phones and routers. During the filming, try not to put the battery and other accessories into the clothes-many times, people didn't deliberately violate the baggage consignment regulations, but really forgot to take the battery out of the clothes.
