Decent case for M2P?

[WildDoktor]

Now that I have this mavic 2 pro, I'd like to find a case that will hold it, 3 batteries, the charger, and an ipad (9" screen)...trying to stay under like $60 if possible because I still need to buy the 3 batteries and charger!

Suggestions / links?

(I've found a lot of m2p-specific cases on amazon, but haven't found any that also hold an ipad.)

Thanks!

Hard cases with iPad storage aren't very common.

This HUL case on Amazon has a storage pocket in the lid.




And this one is totally out of your price range, but Go Professional makes awesome cases.

Got a link to that case for the OP?

Harbor Freight has a lot of different-sized cases. I went with their Apache 4800 case - it can easily hold a single Mavic, 3 batteries, an iPad, and other accessories. As I carry and keep my batteries in a separate bag (especially during post-flight when they are warm), I carry my two M2P's , their two controllers, a iphone and a Crystal Sky as my monitors in my 4800 case.

Thanks everybody! I got that HUL case that @msinger mentioned...I'd actually found it and put it in my "drone stuff" list on ama zon while waiting for a reply. I got it today and have spent about 5 minutes with it so far. I'll report back once I've had some time to get to know it.

Ok; I spent an hour or so with the new case and...it's getting returned. It just doesn't work for my use-case.

- It's big, but poorly laid out...adding cables and usb drives and nd filters just isn't an option
- No provision for a shoulder strap
- Won't stand upright (handle up) on anything but a perfectly flat surface due to strange "foot" placement
- Would need extensive modification to the foam to mimic what I'd like / what I'm used to from my old Smatree Mavic Pro case
- The pouch in the lid is a good thought, but poorly executed. An ipad flops around a lot in it, and anything else that's in the pouch eventually ends up rubbing against the screen. Plus, the pouch material isn't soft (so I'm sure it'll scratch the ipad) and it doesn't secure to the lid. I'd need to modify it to make it work the way I want it to.

I'm sure I could fix all those things, but...I don't have time in my life for that. So I'm returning it. Glad I didn't remove the tag!

I found that there used to be a case by RLSOCO that fits the non-smart controller, 4 batteries, has a zippered pouch in the lid, and a shoulder strap...it looks a lot like my old Smatree Mavic Pro case that I love. Of course they are now as rare as hen's teeth, but I managed to find a new one and a used on on Ebay. The used one was half the price of the new one, so I bought that.

We'll see how that one works out.
