Any of you guys know where to get the info for rules and regulations to fly drone in other countries. As I plan to travel with my drone to video and taking photos.

I have been travelling to several countries (Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, US) with the drone. Never any problem at the airports. Brought it as hand luggage.
But be careful about the local regulations, in some countries it's totally forbidden to fly. Heard of people being heavily taxed by custom in some developing countries, don't remember where though.

Around EU you shouldn't have any problems. At least I never had. Had some with a reflex camera years ago returning from southeast asia, for custom taxes, they asked 300€ for import taxes! Fortunately I had an e-invoice on my email so was everything clear I bought in Italy. From that point every time I leave Italy I have a copy of invoice with me.

For flight laws, be careful in developing country, bribery won't let you operate respecting rules ;)

So far, with my P2, I had one of those very cheap €35 soft backpacks ordered on amazon or ebay. Poor quality material but did the trick for a while. Don't like hard cases - they often tend to become to big to be carry on luggage and they are in general a pain to handle unless you only fly from your car.

Now, I am looking into finding a better quality backpack that can take my P3P and that is available for shipping to Sweden.

That is very interesting as I am soon to fly with my P3 out to Poland.

Did you have any issues carrying such a large battery in hand luggage, or did you put it into your main (hold)  luggage?  

Anyone know any regs regarding flying drones in Poland?

Thanks

Never any problems with the batteries in hand luggage. I think that is preferred by aviation safety.

Can't stress enough - do not pack batteries of any kind especially Phantom batteries in the hold luggage.

I went through security with my Phantom and all accessories yesterday without any questions.  Thanks for the advice.
