What case or backpack are you using

Im really torn between a backpack an a cheap hard case for $50 or so. I feel that the backpack would be easier to bring around.
Where did you guys get the foam insert?

you guys are fancy! I am using a regular duffal bag that I stuck the cardboard insert that the phantom was in when it was shipped to me.

Nice backpack!

I've enjoyed GPC cases very much. Two hard cases and my trusty backpack, slightly modified for the P3 landing gear.View attachment 21113

That's what I'm using too. Like you, I modified it a bit for the landed gear and I eased the area around the arms for a slightly easier fit. I asked the GPC folks if they would sell just the foam insert for the P3, and they said they would:

Hello Joe, the foam sets will be available to purchase for $70 plus shipping. Please email us in about 10 days and send photos of your backpack to confirm it is a GPC backpack and we can place the order. Thank you​

That was June 2nd. I need to be on the road with it this week, so I just decided to modify the foam.

Pelican 1510, had to have carry on size.
I've been wanting to get the Pelican 1510 myself--something that I could carry-on; however, according to the description on Amazon, the interior dimensions are 19.75" W x 11.00" H x 7.60"D. Isn't that too small for the Phantom 3, which seems to be over 11-1/2" in width (with props off)?

I guarantee it fits, the phantom must be slightly less than 11" because that's the dims on pelicans site also. I'll be adding 4 battery holes between the arms so I'll be able to haul 5 batteries. I think the P3 fits better than my P2 V+.

Good to know, Apparition. Guess the specs on the case are showing less than it actually is--unless my ruler is off when measuring my own P3Pro.
 
Just Ordered from our Friends Travis & Mike and the rest of the Team at www.advexure.com , I had the Back Pack on order but after careful consideration of my situation it would not fit my special needs.

Just got back from a flight and measured it the 1510 is about 11 3/8" plastic to plastic, the P3 will just barely rub on both sides. I think they give dimensions with ~1/4" foam all around. It'll work.
