Tips

Include documentation to TSA the airline that it's a camera dolly, needed for professional filming
Include airline-specific documentation on their policies:
1. Lufthansa
2. Alaska
Include documentation on Onewheel battery certification and the battery safety sheet
Cover the power port with some tape
Deflate the tire so it doesn't over-expand at altitude
Drain battery
