Hey dude. I didn’t see any lockers at the airport when I was there, but check. The rules there change a lot. I just know they’re very strict about drones. From my experience they wanted to take it off me so they could charge to get it back. The lockers are a good shout if they have them there. Good luck on the doc mate

That’s a great insight. Shame it has that feel to it now

😩 ah no way! I hope you can get it back…

Oh no! Did you get it back?

@@coachglenjepson nope!

Ah, no way! Sorry to hear that :(@@Sonto_Radebe

It’s fine I’ll live lol

100% agree - It's cool to have the drone footage to tell a better story but it's all about the UW footage

Thanks Phil, I quite enjoy chatting to Karen’s 😂 Have a great holiday mate 👍🏼

Just a heads up, it's 'You're'. I like the irony in your name 'Be Kind'. It wasn't my first rodeo, dude, I'm well aware of the corruption and the military control. I took my chance and this time it didn't pay off. It did mean I was able to produce a piece of content to educate those that may not have a good understanding of certain 'regulations'. It's also encouraged conversation and engagement, even if negative and personal like your comment. It all works for the algorithm so I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Have a great day, sounds like you could do with one! ;)

Spy craft?! If he wants to spy he won't take a drone through the airport the satellite is there! Besides ur saying he can bribe people to spy freely in the country wow that's amazing 😂😂 This is the dumbest comment i've seen!

@@emnas82​​⁠​​⁠​⁠​⁠​​⁠​​⁠​⁠​⁠ your comment is actually dumb. Drones are obviously a security threat because of it’s potential for spy craft. You can’t film through a window in real time with a satellite.. To think a country wouldn’t give you a hard time for bringing a drone in without DOA approval is naive. It’s not standard to return security threats.. he’s lucky he got it back.

you must be egyptian. Educated yourself first, and then educate your country. after that, you can comment

Hey. Even with an ECAA card I think it’s still tough to take a drone through. You might get it through no problem but it’s a chance you’ll have to take. As for storage, not sure, mine was just taken. I think I was lucky to get it back. If you can find private storage lockers then that would be your best bet in my opinion.

Hey Ahmed, yeah it’s a risk. I’d probably try it in my hold luggage next time but that could still end up getting seized!

ddi you take your drone?

Oh man, sorry to hear that. You need to go back to the airport and get it. They should have given you a receipt with a daily charge for storage.

@@coachglenjepson no man … I negotiate with them till almost fight with each other . They insist seized, and force me to sign a “voluntarily give up form” if I don’t sign deny me check in . If I don’t sign they going to arrest me .

@@magiachung9701 oh man, that really sucks, sorry to hear that. Not much you can do about it now. If you have insurance that covers your equipment claim on that to get a replacement

same hapen to me in aswan confiscate my drone for sure they will try to sell it there is a lot of co rruption

Hey, no problem! I don't want to say that its a good idea to sneak it in your hold luggage, but if its worked before, I'm sure it'll work again. I'll definitely give it a go. Batteries definitely in your carry on though, no way do you want to be responsible for a battery fire in the hold of the aircraft!

I think drones are allowed in Oman, especially if you have a Micro drone below 250 grams. Drones are not banned in Oman. However, drones are almost banned in Egypt. That's a major difference.

Hi! So on the way back they made me put in in my hold luggage. When I go again I will definitely put the drone in there first to skip the security headache. If you’re going to do the same then I’d say you’d be alright unless they have reason to check it….which is unlikely

@@coachglenjepson Hey! Here is the update, I did not get in trouble!! So, the drone (mini dji 3 pro) was on my registered bag with the remote, the batteries were on my carry on. After arriving to Cairo, after picking up the registered bag there is a x ray machine for the bags, but they didnt check anything. So, Im in Turkey now and very happy that they didnt take my drone hahaha.

@@LasNotasdelDoctor Great news, well played 🤙🏼

Totally understand. The Egyptian dive masters on the boat I was on explained just that. I know the country relies heavily on tourism and they don’t want to show the bad bits. I can add drone content in my footage if guys like you get the footage and upload it to stock footage sites 🤘🏼 A good way of making money. If they don’t allow drones in, capitalise off that and get lots of it uploaded and get the royalties 👌🏼

@@coachglenjepson I’d love to do that, and I’ll try. As for tourism, they call themselves a tourist friendly country, but there are scammers everywhere and the cultural areas are very disorganized. The government doesn’t seem to be doing anything to make if easier for tourists. Very unfortunate for a country that could use our history to our advantage. Hope things get better soon…

That’s lucky man! Great that you managed to fly, hope you got some nice footage 👌🏼

Sums it up nicely! I definitely made a mistake of not checking ahead, lesson learned. It was a headache, glad to have it back. I’m sure it won’t be the last issue I have!! 😂

Hey Judson, no problem dude. I also had an FX3, A7iii, 3 lenses and my underwater rig in my bag (look at us flexing our camera gear 😅). They wanted to search my bag in one of the thousand dodgy x-ray scanners on the way out of the country (it’s relentless!) but they were so slack the didn’t notice me just walk straight past the security guard doing the searches. I seen a few other guys with a lot of cameras having their bags checked but they’re not worried about handheld gear, just drones. You’ll be all good with your gear man. Once in the country just be weary of edgy guys that want money off you if you point the camera at them. And don’t point it in the direction of military. Other than that, enjoy the trip…once you get past the airport!

GoPros and DSLR’s are all good to take, just don’t take a drone 👌🏼

Haha, imagine that!

Cheers! 😅 knocked out, smashed collarbone and 3 broken ribs, so did a half decent job of it! Back there soon though 🤘🏼

U aint doing it by halves that's for sure... speedy recovery pal 👍

@@endubro8865 Cheers man! Happy shredding 🤙🏼

Thanks Charlie! 🙌🏼

Cheers dude 👍🏼

Haha Yeti’s fine mate! It’s a bit tougher than I am 😅

Haha good to hear. Well hope you’re fixed for a BPW trip when I’m back late summer!

@@matthewrandell6207 ah I definitely will be mate 🤘🏼

It's a ballache of a break!

@@coachglenjepson I done mine in September they really should of operated on it but covid blah blah

@@heymofo1981 ah man that’s not good! Fully recovered I hope?

@@coachglenjepson yeah man was back surfing in november and back on the bike by christmas

Hi Hilda, thank you. I used GoPro Cineform to edit this. The software is good (and free) but I've found its limitations now. I've invested into adobe Premiere Pro for my next videos as I now have other cameras and GoPro Cineform only supports GoPro files.
