Cases?

FASTFJR · Apr 8, 2019

My Mavic 2 Pro will be here soon. I ordered it with the smart controller. Looking for a case that won't break the bank. I'm seeing a fair amount of cases like the one I had on my original Mavic for $30-$40 on Amazon and eBay however their delivery is a month away.

What are some of the cases you guys are using?

Thanks

I would highly recommend the Lykus brand cases. I use the,

All about cases...

After buying, selling and repairing almost 4,000 drones, I've come to see many drone cases come through here. Some I liked, and some I didnt like. Here is what my take is on some of the types and brands of cases that have come through. Folks, if you like this information, please click "like" at...

I just ordered it, can't beat the price. Hopefully the smart controller will fit well!

Thanks for the link

This is the one I purchased and I can really say that I'm very happy with the quality and features.

I modified the GoPro compartment to fit the smart controller and some accessories.

I use the GPC case for my M2P;

DJI Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom Case

goprofessionalcases.com

A little pricey, but holds everything and is watertight. I did make a minimal cutout so the slot on the leftr would hold my PP Flight Deck. There is space for 4 props below the drone in the top layer. I carry my car charger and DJI 4 battery charger along with the charger for my ARC2s in the slot on the far left. Top layer removed and it reveals cushioned a space to put my CS with PP attachment, 2 CS batteries, CS to controller connection cord, ARC2 strobes(4), and extra props.

Bottom is an image of the lower layer from website, iPad is where I put my CS and ARC2s to the side where the props are in this pic

I bought this one on ebay for $30, takes 4 batteries, if you leave one on the drone, and an ipad can fit in the top section of the hard cover. It is light weight and water proof too and easy and comfortable to carry either by the top handle or as a backpack.

A lot of those case are really for cameras though and not specifically for drones.

Yep! They have customizable interiors and are perfect for the Mavic if you're not looking for something with a molded interior. And a bonus is they can still be used when DJI releases the next Mavic and changes the size/design.

Cymruflyer · Apr 9, 2019

Yes that is a valid point.

I use 3 different bags depending on what i'm doing. The one in the pictures is $15.00 on Amazon and is great for traveling and hiking. You can pack it in a backpack and it's self contained. I find myself using this one the most.

I have the pelican sky series case with the iPad insert. Really awesome but wish the would have opened up some of the solid foam for more storage slots but still I give it 4.5 out of 5 great case.

DACCKIT case

This is a very good starter case until you determine what is best for your needs. Cutouts for items are tight. However, I'd describe them as rather sloppy in the machine cutting. Materials will serve but will wear/crumble with repeated use. In the picture I've the Mavic 2 plus the 'fly more' items I take with me to use. Chargers etc I leave behind for home use. Items such as an iPad mini or the related mounting bracket are loose in the lid case which is certainly not ideal.

But again, a starter solution/case.

If you also need a spare battery get this... for $20 more than the battery price you get a nice case and spare props. Case is not hard but really good quality and the foam is high density. Also has room for iPad and other accessories.

If you go the case route, consider the GPC model # GPC-DJI-MAV-2

DJI Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom Case

It’s a two layer model and completely waterproof. It’s only $129. I love mine.

It was on sale last week for $7.99! I got everything inside including a spare battery Crystalsky charger and batteries, plus spare props, cables, etc. I couldn't be happier.

I have one of these and was great . It fitted everything in including my landing pad. Unfortunately when I got he smart controller I had to let it go as it doesn't fit in this case.

I use the Smatree case with the smart controller option. Which still carries everything my Dakkit case did!
