I picked up the Nanuk 920-MAV3 orange hard case for mine since it only gets used when I'm driving off road. Really nice case for the money.

Nice case. I wanted to build something like that but was not willing to shell out so much.Love the idea. Storage and base station. With me it’s always been how can I tweak it to make it a little more to my liking but for less. This total project cost around $ 120. A got a used Pelican 1520 case for $57 of eBay. 2 Amps $50 for both and other stuff that I have around the house. I even gutted an old computer I was going to throw out for the wires to do the project.Took about two days to do this project so far and took about six weeks waiting for QMA from China. The connectors being the most difficult to get. But that’s the whole reason for the case quick connect and disconnect. I also fabricated a few QMA cables To fly connected to the case or 6 foot away. I tried a 10 footer but that was way too long for my liking. I also raked up a set of lines for the Titan cyclone for the car. Hate flying in the cold. Enjoy your case, It looks great. Happiness is flying.

Got this case at Harbor Freight for $29.99 after a $10 off coupon!! Nice sturdy case for the price.

Just got the pelican 1400 for non treking endeavors

Everything fits perfectly!

Ok, so here's a new bag I just got. Wanted something for daily carry with room for a laptop. I have a two week trip coming up and I wanted to minimize my luggage. I also have a small camera case for when I take the drone to the golf course. I'll post that next time I swap it out.

Mavic Foam Pelican 1200 Case by lalalandrus

 

[Don't Wanna]

More than one way to skin a cat! Here is a smaller powered command station and storage case I been working on the last week. The bottom half of the case is now finished. Waiting for a few parts from China to finish the top half. This is a Harber Freight case I got on Sale for $29. The bottom half of the case which houses the Mavic and Accessories cost me under $5 for the bottom build. 1 workout mat at 99 cents each. 1 Red felt 99 cents, Hot glue stick $1.99. and 3/8 Red Ribbon 79 cent. This build is made for my car in mind everything has a tab that I can pull and it comes right out. Very helpful when I turn from my car seat to get what I need and power on the boosters from the lid.The HF case came with pick out foam. I think I like this better. What do you think? FOR SOME OF YOU, IT'S EASIER THEN YOU THINK! Here is what I did.

New Update. Just in time for Spring! Both of my large and small Mavic cases for storage with boosted amps in both cases are fully working and finished!
This is the large one. View attachment 34252
And this is the smaller one below. Everything that came with the fly more package is built right into the case. Both the 110 volts as well as the car 12 volts charger. both were just sitting around collecting dust.Now they both have a home.

What do you guys and gals think?
Happy & Safe Flying.

I think you have taken detail oriented to a whole different level and think its a marvelous ground station!

 

[Plonker]

I just picked up a Lowepro Droneguard BP250. Holds both by MP and MA, still have hard cases for both but this one just makes it easier for hiking.

Looks awesome, although for me the downsider regarding portability would be too big. You DID get me fantasizing about an ultra-portable pelican case style station with the ipad mini integrated into the lid, with automatically unfulding sun hood and a long cable to connect the controller. This should give increased visibility and a nice stable display, in the same time taking some weight off your hands.
Does anybody know whether there is a limitation to the length of the cable between controller and display? I think about 1m (3ft) should be possible without problems, no?

Also went for the Lowepro droneguard BP 250 for carriage of MP and MA plus both fly more kits and extras!

Ha JoostGT3,

Think twice before buying a pelican case! Don’t get me wrong. They are great, I have one. But the case itself is13 pounds!!! Unless you are going to drop it out of a rooftop, something less heavy duty will do. I did a Harbor Freight case on my last build. Moving on, you are just thinking a big or any size box /case you need to carry around to fly. What are you comparing it to? Of cause the fly more bag from DJI. Well, I don’t carry anything 90% of the time. First, I have built a few of the base FPV amped station of different sizes. The first big build with dual amps was for 2 Mavic Pro, 2 controllers. Dual screens, 7 batteries. It has everything but the sink in that case. Just too much to list. But it’s posted somewhere on here. That at one point never left my car. If I wanted to fly with only one craft, I remove one full half side of storage for 1 Mavic and acc. The other side is empty; I will keep my Flymore bag or my Lopro backpack in that space and use it if I feel the need. Believe me; I have every bag out there as good as some of them were. It was never 100% the way I like it, always missing something close but never hit the mark. Then I build the smaller size unit also amped, for 1 Mavic and it’ Acc. Both cases have both 120 And 12 volt charger build in the lid. 90% of my charge is 12 volt. What I do everyday charging, is done the same way but in my case. The smaller case unit now has taken the place of the big case in my car. When I go overseas to Norway, only the big case will do because it also has built-in battery warmers. I fly every single day. The only time I am grounded is when it Rains/Wind. Daytime, I fly out of my car 90% of the time. I feel in love flying that way. Heat, Cold, Bugs, People! It bothers me not at all now. I take off from the roof of my car on my DIY lighted landing Pad and no one even knows I am flying. I try to get it up fast! And that is my RTH mark also. I got tired flying with so much. Don’t get me wrong, I liked it at first but I have moved on. IPad mini4 w/ MavMount and Thor mount was great. I guess I did not like things hanging off my neck. But now I am into flying out of my car with a 10 in screen on my dash and just my controller in hand. No mounts of any kind but just two 4ft cable from the controller to the amped box and out to my antenna which attaches with a suction cup mount on the rear side window. As far as cables, I make my own up so I have them in all sizes. Flying from in my car I use 4 ft. If I use a tripod is my 6 ft. I have seen 10 footers. Not for me!

You fantasizing about an ultra-portable pelican case style station. Go for it! Just do it. Make it your own. If not you, who? If not now, When? Just have all the parts before you start your build. Or you will end up with a cooling fan where it should not be. Like me! Live and learn. Hope you change your mind just a little about Portability. Your house is where you keep your Mavis. My car is that house that is all! How many times have you said to yourself? Dam wish I have my Mavic with me now. NOT ME!

Happy and Safe Flying to All
