Question for you guys that pack your stuff out to the field.
If you could create custom foam for your gear what would you say must go in it?
I'm drawing up a custom foam insert for a backpack and not sure of all the gear that I should or need to fit in the compartment that has the foam.
Below is what I have so far (I'm using a Seahorse 720 case as a template until I find a backpack to fit the foam into). Mycasebuilder.com is who I am using for this (I've done business with them before and am happy with their product) and they already have the Mavic, controller, batteries and the Mavic charger loaded into their database but not the goggles or any aftermarket parts. I drew up the goggles in their system but it does not allow me to make a "ring" for the headband with foam in the center so it will be open (see below):
I'd prefer to have the goggles under the headband as it comes in it's original box but can't draw that myself.
The long horizontal opening is for the FSLabs 5-in-1 charger but as you can see the headband would be one big cut out. I could put a small pouch with gear in the center of the headband but it wouldn't be secure.
If I created this for a backpack then the orientation would have to change to account for the new external foam shape but moving and rotating items is easy.
Right now I'm looking for any and all suggestions as I'm new to the Mavic and carrying everything around. Once I get the thing drawn I'd be happy to share the files with anyone that want to do this for themselves. It's anywhere from $50 on up for the custom foam and if you already have a decent pack then you're ahead of the game.
