What should i do if im going to travel in airplane with this equipment? I need to do something special with the gear or just put it in the bags?

Well everything will do ok if you put them in your bags that go into the airplane but the co2 i think youll have trouble with specially that is flammable and the airplane company will see it as a threat.

Your beat bet would be to call the airport that you are flying out of and ask them. With the way regulations are changing today, that's probably the only way to get a good answer and that,'s not garuanteed.

The gun is fine, you do not need to do anything but put it in your luggage (not carry on of course). The tank is the one and only thing you need to worry about. Do not have it filled prior to flying, make sure 100% that it is empty. If you have an HPA tank you must break the seal on the tank and seperate the regulator from the rest of the tank body, that is one precaution they take and they need it open so they can do a visual inspection of the tank. If you have a CO2 tank then just leave the one you have now and buy a new one, 20 bucks is nothing at all and less of a hassle than taking the tank somewhere where they can seperate the tank threads from the body of the tank.

The airline I work for prohibits the devices from being used or carried onboard because it is considered a fire hazard. Better check with the airline you're using.

Lots of options here, depends on how much you want to spend and what use cases you need.Will you take it on planes? Will you just keep it at home?Some more information from you would help.

I found that the best way to travel with this kind of background setup is using a golf bag. Look for a used golf bag or at Walmart they sold me a travel golf bag for under $50

If you can get a file "ripped" you can put it on here. I have six DVDs on my Archos at the moment, in fact.If you're going to take it on the plane with you... get a car/air charger or a large-ish external battery pack you can use to power it. If you get 4 hours of video time, you're doing well... you'll be happier if you can plug into the "under-seat power" receptacle which maybe 1/4 of the seats on an airliner will have.

I can't quite believe this question - surely it would be too heavy with gear inside it. I would be horrified if it was in the overhead locker above me - one bump and the door opening and it could be a nasty shock. Don't even consider it for the sake of fellow passengers, buy a light weight suitable suitcase on wheels.

I'm not sure how the airline rules would apply here.......perhaps if that was the only thing....no carry on luggage...that might be in a small duffel. The problem is....you have to plug it into an electrical socket for it to work.........and I don't think you can do that in your airplane seat!

Your question is more difficult than you might think. But let me see if I can break it down into parts. Could your travel (by air?) with it. I would tend to say NO. The packing bag will do little to nothing to protect the equipment inside. It is also of light weight material and I would deem it unsuitable for air travel, mainly due to the rip hazard and impact from other luggage. Travel by rail carries the same negative reaction. Travel by bus, maybe as the item gets somewhat less handling manipulating by machine. You still risk the equipment to impact. Now by car is a different matter. You can control the bag better and ensure other equipment is protected from impacts. Since you are carrying the bag yourself, you can also treat it more gently than a commercial carrier will. Otherwise I direct you to the Shlock Mercenary Maxim #11, "everything is air droppable ... once" and that may be more trips than this equipment can take. Moving on to weight, to be honest, I have never weighted it. I will say that one person of moderate strength can easily lift and carry it several long blocks wearing a very heavy backpack (filled with background) and carrying two additional background tripods. (And no I would not like to do that again.) I would estimate that it is 20 lbs so about 9kg .

Per TSA website: "You may transport this item in carry-on baggage or in checked baggage. For items you wish to carry-on, you should check with the airline to ensure that the item will fit in the overhead bin or underneath the seat of the airplane."

I think if you leave all the pieces separate you should be able to. I'd put the gizmo in the checked bags and the other in 2 separate baggies in your carry on. Good luck. Call the airline and make sure.

I put the bag up and then loaded everything in. When I took it down I loosened the straps and took things out little by little. FYI I didn't leave he bag up during my stay. I put it up only when I was packing to travel.

It's a small bag! I think you could take it as a carry on if you'd like. I don't see why it would be a problem. I took it with me onto a plane a few months back.

it can be taken apart, so a back pack would probably be perfect for the detector, parts, and other stuff like a small shovel, small garden rake. Or, wait until it arrives and see what you already have on hand. We had an old zip up tool bag that we used, it was perfect. We love ours, have fun with yours. Hope you find lots of goodies with it

I bet this will be confiscated by TSA agents. So, if you really need it, pack it in your checked baggage. If you are traveling without checked baggage...leave this at home. I had a great multi-tool that was shaped like a key confiscated and no matter how long I tried to argue, TSA would not budge. The dull blade on that key was probably no longer than 1 inch.

You can but not if you have a lot of gear with you. I found it to be a hassle to get mine in and out because it doesn't have an actual slot

Elliot is correct, it may get scrutinized, I was told it was very dense and the TSA would appreciate it being taken out of your bag and placed separately like a laptop. I started doing that and now have no problem.
