My carrying solution

uneekwahn · Jan 6, 2017

To me, the DJI Mavic Pro embodies portability and as such, putting it in a large case or pack seems counterintuitive (unless extreme protection is a necessity!).

My solution is this. Designed to carry a Nalgene type bottle, this pouch is perfect for my needs. The strap also doubles as a harness for my controller!

Noice... ingenious with the strap/lanyard swap system. Get a Carabiner hook and attach to the bag. You can then attach it to yourself if you want to walk and fly.

I thought of doing that too. Nice to see it actually working. What brand is that case and does the controller fit in there as well?

You could just get another Molle bag and add it to the outside of that one for the controller protection MOLLE Pouches – Tactical Pouches for Vests, Bags & Belts | 5.11

Well maxpedition offers this one with an external pouch: 12" x 5" Bottle Holder

I really like your 'remove before flight'. How is that attached?

This pouch has MOLLE type straps on the back and could quite easily attach to my belt!

This is a Triple Aught Design pouch but is no longer made.

Maxpedition, Condor and Hazard4 make similar ones.

I used a steel skewer, heated it up and melted a hole through the side of the camera cover and attached it with a key ring.

I love the tie down cord you have on the props. Where did you get it?

I made it from shock cord and a toggle

Like the solutions you have come up with, by the looks of the used materials you serve or have served.

Nice. Can you give some dimensions of this one you are using and show it loaded and what all you can fit? I've been looking for a carry option for when backpacking. I came across this ad and this is hard to pass up for $17. Just need to confirm dimensions.

Found some Altura Neoprene Pouches to protect the Mavic gear. Four bags were $18. The Mavic fits nice in the large pouch (9.4x4 inches). Controller, charger and extra props can fit in the second largest bag. I bought an extra battery so I just separate everything so it doesn't get scratched up. I use a Maxpedition Gridflux sling pack. It is pricey but a great durable bag that use everyday:

Hey Uneekwahn. Nice solutions. I think you should change your handle to MacGyver lol

I just ordered that one on amazon, should be getting it on mon. If it doesn't fit i'll be returning it.

Here's the one I ordered https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0068SYN5G/ref=twister_B0086UBPDM?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1.

It fits perfectly and no messing around to get it in or out. It's also padded and very well made. A lot cheaper than the maxpedition one. If you hike a lot I highly recommend this pouch. I plan to put a piece of foam on the bottom for extra protection.
Thanks for the idea!
