I'm looking at getting a backpack for a mavic pro. It will also need to hold camera gear (camera body, lenses, etc.), a laptop, GoPro and gear for it, chargers, batteries, etc. A lot of stuff. Any recommendations for relatively cheap?

Im looking as well, but I dont really need a cheap one, I need a a bit more sturdy but not as a hard case.
If I found something padded in a resonable prices will let you know

Alliexpress, Mavic and accessories, Dji Osmo , you can redesign the interior for what you want.
Am using lowepro slingshot edge 250 AW for mavic

I just ordered one of those after seeing one in action. Should be here by Monday
I have 3 LowePro backpacks and they are all great. Great quality and will almost certainly outlast the original gear they were purchased for.
Lowepro has something you'd like but theyre not usually cheap but not expensive either. You might find a Ruggard brand backpack on ebay for a fair price. I had one before and it was pretty good.
I'm using a Lowepro ViewPoint BP 250 AW. It's got a small removable padded bag that fits the Mavic, RC, a couple props, a USB cable, and 2 extra batteries. I doubt it'll carry the MP and the other stuff you mentioned all at once if that's your goal.

I've been using an Oakley Kitchen Sink LX for a few months now. This thing holds all my camera gear, 15" MacBook Pro, all my chargers and cables. It's water resistant and built to last. Check it out.

There's also a smaller version for almost half the price

I'm picking one of these up later today. This was the video that swung it, as it looks almost tailor-made:
It's also currently at a clearance price in the UK at PC World. Bargain!! LOWEPRO Viewpoint BP 250 Camera Backpack - Black

I have this in black - can't recommend it highly enough if you're looking for something not so bulky but still capable of holding a LOT of stuff.
I'm carrying a bit more: DSLR a couple lens plus Mavic and goods using this: Tamrac Nagano 12L Camera Backpack (Steel Gray) T1500-1519 B&H
Not cheap but really great quality. Best of all this accessory: Nagano 2.3 Case and EXACT fit for the Mavic

Try thinktankphoto.com backpacks and travel cases. I particularly like the Airport Essentials line for those days you need way too much gear.

FWIW I've got a Lowepro Slingshot 150 AW, which is really well made. I created a strap to join the twin zips on the bottom to make the main compartment on the bottoms easier/quicker to open but despite all that I'm looking for something to replace it. I've found having the weight on a single strap becomes very uncomfortable very quickly. Wish I'd gotten a classic 2 strap back to distribute the weight evenly.

Bingo!! I spent over 30 hours researching and testing 12 different bags (yes, I have an issue) and this is by far my favorite! I'm extremely particular with my packs because of how much I use and put them through.
Contents:
Mavic Pro
Controller
4 Batteries
5 in 1 Charger
iPad mini
2 sets of filters
4 cords
notebook
15"macbook pro
Canon 7D
3 lenses
SD Card Case
And I still have room for more! It's $99 at bhPhoto and you'll be hard pressed to find a better pack anywhere near this price range.

Awesome! I've been researching this same bag the last 2 days. Looks like the one to get. Will put my order in to Bestbuy.
I received my Lowepro Slingshot Edge 250 AW this week and set to configuring it for the Mavic and my Canon SX60HS. I tried it with the Mavic in the top compartment and with the other camera in the bottom compartment. What worked out in the end was the Mavic and accessories in the bottom and the camera and iPad mount in the top.
All closed up with the tripod strapped to the back and launch pad on a carabiner attached to the bottom of the strap. I can also clip a water bottle to the carabiner.
The bottom compartment with the Mavic, R/C, spare batteries, car charger, and R/C shoulder harness.
The top compartment with the iPad mount, iPad, SX60HS and camera accessories.
Going to go for a hike with it all to see how it feels, it's comfortable walking around the neighborhood.

I'm specifically looking for something that will hold a lot of gear plus the Mavic when I'm traveling.
