DJI Bag - very disappointed

[GSARider]

got the combo deal and the bag is just way too tight. Just spent quite a while trying to get the mavic back out after putting it in last night.

Have ordered a smatree bag as I bought one for the dji osmo last year and found it to be pretty good...

Yeah, a lot of people complain about it being to small, there are other better options out there, could use a dedicated packpack, hardcase, or seperate smaller cases for the mavic and transmitter and then throw them in a regular back pack, that's what I do.

 

[MrMavic]

I agree. I would have rather had a couple of free sets of props rather than the cheap under sized junk bag.

I tried it once to surprise a friend (Hey, wanna see my new camera?). The smug got wiped out as I struggled to pull the MP out w/o damaging it ....

Combo plus 4th battery all fits in, even without taking off the extended legs. It's how you pack it that counts. Check it out on YouTube. The bag is shite until you see how to pack it, then it's like wow, it's like Tardis.

Interesting. That's the bag I use all the time. Mine is good.

I wonder if they have different manufactures so they are slightly different?

Just so we are talking about the same configuration, I put the mavic in camera down with the lense cover on. The top (battery) of the drone is toward the outside/side of the bag. Controller goes in the other compartment with the sticks pointing towards the drone at a 45 degree angle toward the corner. Second battery sits over the controller. Top zips up. It's all a good fit.

I agree it's all in the packing

I also received the combo pack last week. Have use the bag twice and also found it to be too tight.
Time to try find another.

Pack it right plus some time to let it stretch a bit and it works.
I still use a hard case but it the soft one is good for just taking the Mavic on those I never know what I might see trips.

I packed it camera side up, I didn't like the idea of it getting stuck inside the bag and not being able to see it. I put the controller in at an angle.

Even ignoring the fact that it was way too tight, there's nowhere to put the charger.

I use this two piece case inside a soft sided Coleman cooler.

Works well and everything fits including my 4 batteries.
I didn't get the DJI bag because I read it was a very tight fit for everything.

No such thing as manufacturing variance huh? I prefer my looser old, old camera bag. A lot less fuss.

I ordered the hard case from ebay. Looks like the pelican case but much cheaper. Paid 58.00 for it. Has cut out for everything to fit nice and snug. Highly recommend.

I have the hard case looks like the pelican case but much cheaper. Everything fits in its own cutouts nice and snug. Paid 58.00 and well worth it.

Works great, those who get the mavic stuck in have usually put it upside down.

I've got my mavic, controller, 3 batteries, mobile device. 2 sets of props and spare cables/usb adapter all fitting fine.

 

[MrMavic]

Even if there was room to comfortably fit the Mavic, 3 batteries and chargers, I have other things I need to take such as the Marco Polo, iPad, battery recharge pack, filter pack, small metal box for cables, flashlight and other stuff.

I take mine on my motorcycle and love the small bag. Packing must be learned.

 

[HFMan]

I can pack the Mavic with battery, RC Controller, both chargers, the charge hub, 2 extra batteries, 4 extra props, USB charge adapter, X-tra SD Card, 18" Lightning cable, TBeacon all in the Combo Bag without trouble. I also straddle the handle with my MavMount. Sometimes I leave the charge gear at home and can take a total of 5 batteries as well as the USB charger adapter. When I take the airlines, the 5-battery pack is how I do it and put the charge gear in my checked luggage. I LOVE the combo bag... it's very portable.

 

[GSARider]

I'll give it another go with the above advice today.
