Here are 3 different backpacks (I have an irrational like for the one the Mavic is in). Trying to find the best backpack for my new Mavic 4 Pro, and it is still difficult to find an effective use of space to put propeller guards in.

Any ideas?IMG_5930.JPEG

Flying over people, little worried about flying this close around trees, even with the good OA.

I’m thinking this bag is probably the one, but it is very bulky…
Is it really necessary to fly over people, when you have up to a 6x optical telephoto lens (and up to 24x hybrid zoom) to film, from much further away, where you are not directly over people? Will you have a written waiver from everyone you are flying over? Even with prop guards, the Mavic 4 Pro will do serious damage in a fall from its weight alone. At 2.43 pounds, without prop guards, it weighs 4x what a 250g Mini weighs. The prop guards add 6.6 ounces, so your total weight is now 2.89 pounds. These prop guards only reduce the risk of damage to people and objects. They don't eliminate the risk of damage in the hands of an inexperienced pilot.

Mini 4 Pro or Mini 5 Pro is far better suited, if you must fly over people. No offense intended, but if you are also that concerned about flying close around trees, even with OA and VLOS, maybe another pilot with more experience and confidence is needed for the job. Props guards also won't keep you from accidents in trees when flying up, and are not intended to keep hanging leaves and branches away from the props.

Call me crazy, but I'm thinking your selection of a bag to carry the props in, with the Mavic 4 Pro drone, is the least of your problems.

You really need to chill out and stay on topic. I provided the question the and options and you go off on some wild tangent
-I wanted to carry them with me
-They would be a safety precaution in the instances I use them.
