Hard case recommendation for Air 3

[davedrone 178]

I noticed on Amazon that hard cases for our Air 3s won't be available for about 10 days. So I ordered a FVPtosky case for the DJI Mavic 3 that my new Air 3 fits in perfectly. This is a $100 case on sale for just $55, which includes sales tax. The drone, batteries, and controller fit perfectly. I made a slight alteration to get the big charging hub to fit
perfectly. This case is heavy duty and works great.

I see a number of OG Mavic 3 cases on sale now that manufacturers made new inserts with additional space for Mavic 3 Pro's camera module. They can just make those and include a small foam piece for buyers with Mavic 3. I'm getting ready to part with the Mavic 3 since I have the Pro and Air 3 and... lets just say "others" lol. Personally I only use hard cases for storage- I like to pack super light for when I have to lug a drone any distance. Amazing they used the same new Mavic 3 Pro Bag for Air 3. Love that it doesn't have a huge, unstructured, uncompartmented floppy soft birth sack, with straps, buckles, and yet another pouch to hold all the "knapsack/backpack" stuff all so I csn "carry my jacket" with me. That overengineered ridiculous thing added nearly $300 to Mavic 3 Fly More. I don't need a pouch to carry a bag to carry a jacket, thanks very much. One of those wow ideas at first look that are good until you use it. The new bag is near perfect for Air 3, and perhaps 25% too small for Mavic 3 Pro.

I really like Nanuk hard cases, they do not have an Air 3 foam insert yet for their 925 model but I found a few of the 925 Mavic 2 Pro/zoom + smart controller case on Amazon for up to half off. So with just little modifying too fit the battery hub and a small expansion of the drone compartment it works out great

I think I forgot to mention that I bought the Mavic 3 case for my new Air 3 and it fits the Air 3 basically perfectly.

I wish someone would design a multiple drone hard case. It would probably need to be stacked, on wheels with a handle like a piece of luggage. It would be nice to have 3 drones in one case.
I've seen some folks take a rifle case and modify it to hold several drones, batteries, etc. I was actually pricing them online when I realized the sight of a guy carrying a rifle case in public is not the best image. Going to get lots of nervous attention and a visit from the cops...

I like the Nanuk cases too primarily due to the latch being so easy to unlock. I was looking for one the Air 3 and waited for a couple of weeks. Then a case from YETEETH showed up on Amazon and bought that instead. It has a very nice layout with extra battery cutouts and a large cutout for just about anything.

Nanuk wrote back to me that they will have an Air 3 case layout in a few months

I have a Lykus hard case for my Avata and really like it, so I emailed their support on July 26th asking about an Air 3 case. They replied July 27th and said it was almost ready for sale, and that they would let me know. Sure enough, on Aug 17th I got another email saying it was ready for purchase from their website. I ordered one and it should arrive next week.

Months?!?!!?

That's almost enough for me to rule them out simply on account of their lazy engineering staff.

Put down the ping pong paddles, guys!

I got this StartRC brand case from Amazon. Plenty of room for "stuff."
I've always been satisfied with StartRC's quality.
