What if something goes wrong? What if you mess up? What if. Maybe I'll give it a go with a cheap one and see how far I get.For most of us, giving a presentation is one of the scariest things ever.

IMHO that should be safe to carry but the rules here aren't specific enough. The presentation sort is normally low-powered (< 1mW) and in the UK that's the only sort that's easy to get hold of. Not sure what damage is anticipated from inside the cabin though I guess they could be used before boarding. I think the genuine concern is the high-powered variety which have been used from the ground to dazzle/'blind' aircrew. It just seems to be one of things that's not very clearly defined or implemented. However they are listed as prohibited by other airports and by specific airlines. Laser pointers don't seem to be on Heathrow's own list. In light or your experiences at Heathrow I've done further digging around. It's just that if it's technically forbidden you can't predict at what point someone is actually going to look at it and say "sorry sir, you can't take this on board". And I know exactly what you mean about having one's bag full of cables and bits searched! I may need to use some sort of keypad with programmable keys (or keys that can be reallocated with separate software like USB Overdrive) that's also fine.Ĭlick to expand.Hi Phil. If anyone has experience with this remote that would be great. I have an old IR dongle from a mouse/keyboard but I've no idea whether it will work with this remote I'm not hopeful.

Macs (including mine) no longer have an IR receiver built in.

A bigger issue though is that this remote is infra-red. For example this Apple remote might work, but it's a question of whether LR will respond to the keys in the same way an equivalent Apple app would. It would be fine and dandy if all of that comes out of the box.
