hi, just wondering if anyone bring the pokit pro and take a flight to some where before?

It cannot be turn off, has a rechargeable means it cannot be kept in the check-in luggage, It can be some how consider 'sharp' tool with the attached probe which might be a problem passing the airport security scan.

cheers.

  Hi TAN AIK WEE, you are correct in that Pokit Pro cannot be stored in checked baggage due to its rechargeable battery. Members of our team have taken Pokit Pro on flights in carry-on baggage in its case with the probe tip cover on, but we do recognise that it may be considered to be a sharp object.

  Okay, sounds like there are a couple of possible solutions to this (obviously these will both need to be considered for future hardware versions):

  1) Implement an unscrewable probe, so that the sharp bit can be put in checked baggage.

  2) Make the rechargeable battery removable, so that the main unit can be put in checked baggage.

  Hopefully someone on the design team reads these forums.

  Cheers,

   

  Paul.
