I wonder what the deal would be with a dash cam? We just got one because when you're a foreigner and you have a vehicle accident you're automatically at fault (we all know the locals are stellar drivers  ). I figure the dash cam will give me some video evidence if necessary.
I can see they might have an issue with a camera equipped "drone" with all the crap going on there though I understand also the reason you might want to take it.
I hope you get the vehicle back.

Yes, the radios are very illegal. If you go through Egypt I highly advise you to forward them by mail to Sudan or something - as we've seen. the Egyptians are quite trigger-happy at the moment.
If you decide to take a dashboard cam, I'd suggest you take it off and store it in the glove box or something while going through customs. Even if they are not illegal, border police in any country can get very cross if they think you are filming them (and who's to tell if the camera is on or not). Same thing goes for GoPro helmet cams on motorbikes.
