Show off your Cases!!

Here is my phantompak. Well, it's a product of my company now but the original motivation was from a trip I took In Africa in 2014 w/ my P2. I had a hard time putting all my range extending antennas, prop guards, harness, charger, and the drone itself into a carry-on luggage. I was so pissed off so when I got back to the states I started to design my own backpack. The idea is to put as much as stuff in a backpack. Almost all the cases/packs out there use pre-cut foam core, which really wasted a lot of room. So what I did was to use "divider" walls kinda like the stock paper core. The walls are made of EVA and also work as structural support. Took me almost a year to get the final product. We've been making motorcycle touring luggage for 10 years and all the knowledge and resource made this possible. It'll fit all phantoms 1 to 3. Check it out. It's probably the most accommodating one out there. EVA shell and all.

the only problem I see with this case and I have seen it whilst researching on my own, anyway the problem is the batteries are just left to bounce around, there should be a spot dedicated for each battery. That is why I ruled this case out and have decided to go with the Go Professional or Drone Crates Backpacks.

Would something like this work with that case for those times I would want a backpack but not want to switch everything over?

It's way to heavy and bulky plus you won't have a place to carry food or water. The HPRC case itself can hold everything including all of your accessories at home. Just take out what you need to fly and put it into a softer travel backpack. This way you can leave, chargers, prop balancers, DeoxIt, and the other stuff at home or in the car. I would rather have a hardshell that holds everything in one place for storage and then use a back pack for hiking that will also carry the extra gear that I need like water, lunch, etc.. That's why I modified mine to hold everything. And it looks different today with a couple more cut outs.

GPPMS,
What case is this and was it hard to modify to fit the ITELITE antenna?

DRONE CRATES cracking bit of kit to hold a grand..View attachment 39172View attachment 39173View attachment 39174

I just noticed that your Drone Crates lining is the messed up one like I got as well. The 2 battery holders to the right of the P3 are too close together. They sent me a new liner, no charge, you should email them. But double check to make sure that the batteries don't fit side by side without touching

After buying a few from Amazon and returning most of them I have found this case and I like it.

Size matters!

Newbie here. Just got my P3A last week. So far I'm loving it!

I have read this thread and still have a question... I would like to find the smallest soft backpack that fits my needs..

My main mission is having something small and light to easily carry daily for fun stuff and occasionally a trip via airline. For the latter, it would strictly be carry on (but I still would like GOOD protection)

Here are my requirements:
Fits a Phantom 3 Adv (with removable prop guards) and remote.
Good quality construction
At least 1, but preferably 2 extra batteries
Charger
Extra props
Lanyard
Small misc items
It doesn't necessarily need to hold my iPad mini.

Thanks!
Tom

Stick a phantom in the inspire pro case and you will be adding foam.

I don't want to put the phantom in the Inspire case, if you click the link you will see that the product is a system to add backpack straps to the case. Since something like the nanuk cases with wheels is rather large I thought you could possibly use the product to turn them into a backpack as well. I already settled on the dronecrates backpack though and it is amazing.

Your best bet is to get one of the $50 backpacks off ebay, they are basically as small as they come.

I think the DJI hard shell pack is pretty minimal and would carry exactly what you have listed.

 

[Sinisalo]

I personally wouldn't buy the DJI branded case when there are knockoffs for half price and the DJI case has cheap foam anyway. Here is a knockoff for half price: Backpack Hard Shoulder Bag Carrying Case Box For DJI Phantom 3 Pro Advanced
and here is a cheapo backpack that will get the job done for 1/5th the price of the DJI pack: Backpack Shoulder Bag Carrying Case For DJI Phantom 3 Professional & Advanced S2
