Cases for Phantom Vision

[rotation]

For all the people talking about airline sizing, I thought you weren't even allowed to bring Lipos on planes. I saw a dangerous goods warning with Lipo batteries on it at the airport.
Anyone clarify?

http://safetravel.dot.gov/larger_batt.html Look near the bottom of the page. Batteries for the P2V are marked ~57 Wh, which corresponds to more than 8 but less than 25gm equivalent lithium content (ELC) Lithium ion, making them "larger lithium ion" batteries, according to US-DOT. We're allowed one such battery installed in a device plus up to two spare batteries (those of you lucky enough to have four or five batteries might need to leave a few home). The page linked here doesn't say whether this is carry-on or checked baggage, but if you click on the "quick chart" link on that page, it looks like the spare and installed batteries must be in carry-on baggage and not in checked baggage - another reason for us to keep our birds in the overhead bin with a case of appropriate size. BTW: They recommend placing spares in individual plastic bags to avoid accidental contact with metal that could cause a short.

Hope this helps...

I ordered this case and it was delivered yesterday.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H6BU3J4/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1





It's a bit tight, but it holds all my stuff - 3 batteries, a charger, cables, tools, spares, and a few booklets.

Wincrasher, that's the same case ( Go Professional for Phantom Vision) I'm considering buying and you're the first person to post photos of it anywhere on the Internet! I've looked everywhere for a review but nothing yet.

Could you please upload a YouTube video review of it or take a few more photos and post more of your thoughts on it?

Would be HUGELY appreciated!!

There was another very thorough review of the Tradecraft case in these forums so it would be awesome to be able to compare it against that.

It would be nice if there were someone with the Go Professional case near me and we could compare the two close up together. I have the Tradecraft case myself. I'm in Reading, PA area.

+1 on the tradecraft. It is really good quality. If I had to find a negative comment about it the only thing I can think of is that the hinges and case is not crazy heavy duty like a Pelican. I would trust a Pelican more if I had to throw it down a flight of stairs. Haha. Don't get me wrong, the tradecraft is a TOUGH case but it's not quite at Pelican level IMO. That being said, i do not regret my purchase and would purchase the tradecraft again. It's a really nice case and beats having to cut the foam of a pelican to fit.

I do wish it had side hinges, but other than that I'm totally happy.

I couldn't find a video review but there are a couple of sites with stills of the case stuffed with Phantoms (including Amazon). Also, I was sold on it by the Amazon reviews. I asked a couple of questions about what you could put in it, the airline question was also answered on there, etc. Check it out.

Madnessfpv. You should not be allowed om forums if you act like a complete pratt.

Don't feed the well-known (and, inexplicably, still here) troll. If you click on its username, you'll see an option to "Add to Foe List" or similar. Once you do that the signal to noise ratio improves somewhat. Repeat a few times for some of its other sock puppet accounts and things get a lot quieter.

Thank you kindly for taking the time to do a video review of the Tradecraft case! We now have two video review of the two most popular cases which helps greatly in choosing between them.

The only thing is you didn't show in your video the components actually going into the case and how well they fit in there as that's pretty important.
