Mavic Pro 2 Controller smallest case possible

[TierraGrande]

The case I have for my Mavic Pro 2 Controller is too large for my packing strategy and if the control sticks are taken off, it significantly reduces the thickness of the case.

Looking for a solution for the smallest case possible without the control sticks. Current using trying a padded bag but a zipper case would be better.

Anyone have any proven solutions?

Which case are you using now?

You could consider this one. Made for Mavic 1 controller, but will work fine. $8.99

One that is 4" x 7" x 2.5" that allows the control sticks to be left on. Length not the issue, thickness is. If I could get one 1.5" to 1.75" thick it would significantly help things fit in my pack.

I am using a US Marines infra red night vision scope case which fits the Pro 2 drone and 5 batteries perfect in the main compartment. One of the side compartments makes it very tough to close the flap with that thick of a controller case. With no case and the padded bag, fits great but there is more room that a better case could fit in.

Understand what you’re looking now. I’ll keep my eyes open.

The one I am replacing is very similar to that one. Needs to be 3/4" thinner.

You could store the remote controller in a sleeve like this:




Or maybe just store it with no case and protect the screen and sticks with a stick guard like this one:

Thanks. I am looking to store it for travel without the sticks installed to save room.

The sleeve might be the perfect option then.

Right now, I am going with a nice padded camera soft lens case for a 6" lens. Still looking for a 3.5" x 6" zipper case with a little more protection.

Gearing up for an expedition in the Andes Mountains in Peru above 14,000' in April and focusing on details now.

The big hurdle was figuring out a power supply to do 60 Mavic Pro 2 flights in the course of 1 week that is packable. We have solved this with a reliable solution that involved batteries, technology, and solar. Tested and proven now.

My brother is the one who figured this out and tested a lot of equipment before finding something that would work to charge the 10 DJI batteries we are taking for a day worth of flights. We will post on this complete setup after using it in the Andes in late April, early May.
I will add to this, when I say packable I mean packable like on a Llama or small Peruvian Paso Fino mountain horses, not packable in the mountains throughout a day by a person.
