Bag/Backpack for P3S

[Suffolkfox]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a backpack/bag for my new P3S, but I think some of the ads I'm looking at don't take into account the controller/phone clamp design, as they say the bag/backpack is for P1/2/3/4 etc, and the controllers vary a bit in shape.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a suitable storage/transport solution for my drone? Nothing too expensive, I'm not taking it onto an airliner so spending £50+ is not gonna happen!

Many thanks in advance,

You can find a bunch of good options here.

I'm in the UK, so I don't think you'd deliver to me - but I might find the right model on that site!

Right on -- I don't sell backpacks. Those are just links to backpacks other P3S pilots are using. You can probably find many of them on the UK Amazon site or eBay.

What about this one?

I prefer the lighter soft cases, because they are soft, you can easily fit any shape RC into it. If you don't need the ultimate protection, get the soft one.
I use this for carry-on too. It only get stored in the overhead bin on the aircraft. I've never checked my drone in.

Hi Suffolkfox, I have just bought a cheap backpack off amazon, should be arriving today, I'll upload some pics & let you know what I think when / if it arrives

Edit: That was good timing, it's just turned up!

 

[Suffolkfox]

Wow, very good timing! I'm just wondering if the controller needs to have the phone holder removed before I stow it. Which backpack was it?

I bought this one for £35.99
LJSM Universal Shoulder Bag Backpack Case For: Amazon.co.uk: Camera & Photo

I will attempt to upload some pics.

It is a fabric backpack, not one of the plastic hardshell ones, looks more like a normal backpack, which I prefer.

Outside has a large zipped pocket on the front, velcro pocket on one side, net on the other.
Inside of the flap has a velcro pocket.
Bag has polystyrene cutouts with space for the Phantom, controller, 3 spare batteries and an accessories/tablet slot.

I removed the clamp from the ball joint on the controller as it is a very tight fit, however that only takes a few seconds.
There is a separate piece of foam/polystyrene to place over the top of everything before closing, build quality seems ok for the price.

Only downside I have noticed is that the props seem too large to fit somewhere in the main compartment so they will have to go in one of the pockets or the net, just leaves them a bit more exposed than being in a cutout inside.

Hope that helps,

Ian.

Brilliant! Thanks mate!

Looks just like one I bought off Amazon for $16.99 except mine holds 4 batteries.

Yeah you can probably get it cheaper, I wanted it to arrive by the weekend so paid slightly more for one with Amazon prime delivery. Think there was another one that looked the same for £30 when I looked.
