I was wondering if anyone had found a decent backpack that fits the case that the P4 comes in. I figured I could get out buying a really expensive backpack if this is the case.
Cheap Backpack for P4

I bet a 5.11 Rush 72 backpack would fit it, but you might as well wait a week and order from Dronecrates or Goprofessional with the foam insert for $80-120 more. The styrofoam the Phantom comes in is not going to stand up to much use, it is styrofoam that will start peeling and cracking after not so long.
If the Rush 72 is the GPC backpack that they put foam inserts into, then yes - it just fits the P4 case. That's what I'm using - my P2 GPC pack with the foam removed. If they release a foam insert that fits that pack I may buy that.

A couple people here on this forum have ordered that pack too (see the plasti-dip thread). I'm gonna see how theirs fit, and then probably order the same pack myself if it's good...
Sandpiper of California makes a "3-Day" pack that fits perfectly. Runs about $50
Might be a bit more expensive at some retailers, but it's a decent pack. Nowhere near as rugged as anything from 5.11 but it does the job cheap

This backpack has been awesome:
Anbee® Backpack Rucksack for DJI Phantom 3/Phantom 2 Vision/ FC40 Quadcopters: Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors
I can fit so much in there and it has loads of extra features that make life easy. And it's very cheap.
The P4 fits in there well (I use 4x chair leg stoppers with an inside diameter of 30mm to fit onto the exposed rotor fittings) plus room for a full size dslr and lens.
Plus, it looks like a normal backpack, not a square box with straps.

Just bought this based on your recommendation. This is one tough backpack but I am not able to get my P4 in it. Maybe I am doing something wrong. This is the one I orderedSandpiper of California makes a "3-Day" pack that fits perfectly. Runs about $50

Walmart sells the 5.11 backpack under a different name for ~$30 but I can't locate it online.
Someone on the forums posted about it a year ago when the P3 came out.

It was the same pack but with a different logo. The person posted pics of them side by side if I remember correctly.
I assumed that was what you meant but, even if it looked similar, I doubt that it was the same pack simply with a different logo. The 5.11 is $170. More likely to be a cheap clone.
I've owned two of these. They are cheap, $30/ea, but the material is much thinner than most backpacks. However, they are super light weight, and mine has worked pretty darn good. These aren't good for long hikes, they have no waist belt, however they are decent for lugging around short trips. I've taken my P3 all over the country by plane as carry on, it's within the FAA limits of 20X14X9". This easily fits my P4 also, but I generally use a Think Tank backpack for that quad. I will say it takes a couple weeks to get these "Chinese Cheapies" from China, and I've had some quality issues, but the vendor has been pretty good at resolving the issue.
Just picked the Pro Craft case for 119 from Amazon. Very good padded quality material used! Holds everything you need. Hip belt. And will fit perfect in an overhead bin. Hey great info John...Thanks. Now have an idea of what to expect. Should be hood for a starter case/pack.
To me that ProCraft looks like the best value I've seen yet. The materials look great, and the configurability of the inside walls make it very flexible, not to mention roomy. I can easily see it being able to hold the RC with DBS Mod antenna setup.
