Anyone Make a Case Yet for Mavic Air?

[mblaide]

Has anyone seen a nice case yet for the Mavic Air? Or know of a manufacturer developing one at the moment?

I have this one for my Spark and would like something similar for the Air:

How long was the Spark out before the cases starting flooding the market?

I haven't seen any yet.
Probably a few weeks away.

PolarPro has a few cases available. You can find those cases and some others that'll work here.

GPC has one for preorder

I tried to pre-order it a few times now. The checkout process still seems to be broken on their website

Ah.... and it mysteriously worked after refreshing the page a few times. Hmm...

Thats some really bad photochopping lol. They overlayed the images on to the case photo. Nice.

I have the pelican im2600 for the phantom 3 and I'm tired of bulky cases. I know this GPC case would be alot smaller but honestly I would be looking for something along the lines of the hard zip up case.

Problem with most cases for the Air will be that they are much larger than they need to be so they really defeat the purpose of the Air. Take the GPC case for example. A _lot_ of room could be saved by not dividing each and every part. For example, the spare props could be a cut out under another opening and many other parts could be grouped together.

Yup.

I was done flying the Air today and my neighbor stopped me in the street and we were talking about siding on the house. I'm fixing to do mine and he wants his done. Anyway I just folded the Air up and slipped it into my pocket literally. I was flying it with my phone to try out it's wifi performance and was actually quite impressed.

I don't think I could fit a mavic pro in the same pocket. I was wearing cargo shorts and put the Air in my front pocket (not the cargo part).

Sorta the same kind of case the Air came with that holds just the craft itself but holds the controller too with 3 batteries. No need for chargers. Maybe a couple extra props. Keep it as tiny as possible. Like my AD200 case: https://www.amazon.com/Original-Protecting-Protective-Godox-Pocket/dp/B071F2F5JQhttp://amzn.to/2BlXtKN

The ones we launched are pretty in line with the compact theory of the Air:

They are shipping now. Let me know if you have any questions on them

Like you I had this for my spark (similar to yours) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0762HZDNZ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It was by far the best case i used. But have not been able to fin anything made specifically for the Air like this. I have seen some videos showing that the Mavic Pro Bag is the perfect size to fit the Air (inside the protective case) as well as all the accessories.

If your “rugged” version case had a zipper pouch on the inside of the lid I’d buy one.

It does have one in the pictures

Interesting, @PolarPro can we get some clarification?

You are the only company I know of at this time that is putting put a compact case. Only think I'd hold against it (and this is not a big deal) is the off shape. Probably just me but odd shape cases kind of bother me.

However, there _is_ one photo that does not show the zippered pouch.

Just bought one of these from Harbor Freight today, medium size. With the pick and pluck foam insert I set it up to hold the air, remote, cables, 6 batteries (if their ever available) and my Ipad Mini. Lists for $29.99, but with the 20% off digital coupon on their website it was $24.00.

After you have it like you want, I recommend spraying the foam with plasticoat (or whatever the rubber spray is called). The foam is still pliable but it will all be one piece and won't tear. Spray it _outside_. I used several coats.

I think I might buy one of these if I think I can put the Air and the Pro both in it. These will be my go to drones and being able to have them together in one case might be worth $25.
