sorry, misread that. They provide you with a little tin box of beads that helps remove the moisture since this case is airtight.
Microraptor Case.....WOW!

It actually does. The 2 little holes by each motor.... you can put these little plastic tubes that come with the case (they look like glue sticks) and keep the props in place. I'll post another picture of it with those on.
i purchased this case, and i absolutely love it. being able to leave the props on makes things so much easier.
Yes and now that we have to tighten them I think that its way better than taking them on and off. Plus it is way more convenient just to take it out, calibrate and fly! The blades are a composite material now and not the metal hubs like in the past. I will only remove them when I ship the case to Turkey next year.
I did a little cutting on my Goprofessional case for my Vision 2+ and the P3 fits ok, props off.
It measures about an inch over. Only traveled with it once, but never got a second look.

I took out the thin piece of foam under the Phantom. The legs rest on the thin foam to each side of the handle slide area on the bottom and the camera/gimbal does not hit the bottom although there is no foam under it. I put my visor baseball type cap on top of the Phantom body in the case. This holds the Phantom down and gives more clearance so the props don't hit the egg crate foam on the top cover.
I've flown with this case on Southwest a few times with no problems. All of the planes I've been on had the smaller bins so it wouldn't fit with the handle or wheels sticking out, had to go sideways..
I've been planning on using some foam to build a gimbal support too..

So I have the Seahorse case.. Its looks identical to the outside and plastic as the raptor.. It doesn't have perfectly cut foam though, so I was wondering if anyone knew if the raptor foam insert will fit in the Seahorse case?

What are the dimensions of that case? You could compare to the dimensions of the Microraptor.
I just checked.
23.96 x 16 x 10.1
24.3 x 16 x 10.1 is seahorse
So looks like it will work. They literally might be the same shell used for each, they have identical locks, wheels, lines, etc.
I can't find the insert for the micro raptor anywhere though...

250 for that in my city ... a bit overpriced to my mind. I d better buy 2 batteries and make a case out of plastic and ducktape for 20 bucks.
Seahorse case is around 100. Same exact case as micro raptor except you have to cut the stock interfior foam to fit phantom.

I just got this case as well. Love it. The case they use is available here for $128 with pick and pluck foam:

I'd much rather pay the $200 and get the custom foam. I really like the case and the layout of their foam.
Pic of my case attached.
Does anyone know what backpack they use? It looks like they use the exact same foam insert for the case and their backpack. I'd love to be be able to swap this foam into they backpack: http://microraptorcases.com/products/backpack-designed-to-fit-the-phantom-3
I tried to find the same 24 x 15 x 9" backpack online but haven't been able to.

Same here. I wish I did the 200 and got the foam.. Does anyone know where or if it's even possible to buy just the custom foam?

I also have the Microraptor, If you lift up the thin piece of foam where the main phantom unit sits the Seahorse logo is embossed into the plastic.
This confirms it actually is a Seahorse case and the Microraptor foam inserts will fit 100% - Adam
Thanks! Now only if we can find the microrapor maker and buy their foam.

Just found them and emailed them about buying the foam.

I also bought this case and I love it. I think it is definitely worth the money.
I can also confirm it is water tight. I did a day of flying it off of a pontoon boat on a lake. Before took off in the boat I had the case on the dock along with some other things. I wasn't familiar with the dock because we rented the house and part of the dock is floating so when you step on it the dock leans pretty far. Everything fell into the water the first time the dock leaned, including the case with the drone and there wasn't a drop of water in it when I got it out. It wasn't in there very long though, because it is the first thing I went for to save!
