A drone is compact but fragile, with a delicate gimbal and lithium batteries that carry shipping restrictions. Move it in a fitted case and the drone survives; ignore the battery rules and a carrier may reject or endanger the shipment. This guide covers casing a drone, handling the batteries, and protecting the gimbal and props.
Pro tip: Store LiPo batteries at storage charge (around 40 to 60 percent) for both moving and any downtime to protect their life.
Watch out: Never ship lithium (LiPo) batteries carelessly. They are regulated, usually ground only, and must be at a safe charge. Some carriers refuse loose batteries. Check the rules first.
