Nanuk 920 case

[MavProPlat1968]

Has anyone had any experience with this case? I'm interested in it because it has a slot actually cut in the foam for a phone/tablet. Just wondering if the iPad mini would fit in that slot.

Thumbs WAY up for this case. I have 2. Here are some other choices:

All about cases...

After buying, selling and repairing almost 4,000 drones, I've come to see many drone cases come through here. Some I liked, and some I didnt like. Here is what my take is on some of the types and brands of cases that have come through. Folks, if you like this information, please click "like" at...

Do you know if the slot is deep enough and long enough for the iPad mini?

Im pretty sure it is, if not then you can hollow out some foam at the top of the case for the height.

I was torn between tha Nanuk and the GPC.....and partly for that same reason, I wanted to carry the iPad mini in the case as well....along with my MavMount.....which is why I ultimately decided on the GPC....storage for both the iPad, MavMount, 3 batteries, cords, charger, props, memory cards, and filter set......very happy with the case. Looking forward to how the Nanuk works if you decide to go that route!

Any way you cold post a pic of how you have your GPC loaded?

 

[OldNavyChief]

Sure......when I get back to the house I’ll post a couple!

So you can see, it has two levels “kind of”....the large insert lifts out with the nylon handles you can see on the sides if you look close. Top has storage spots for 4 battteries + 1 in the drone, or if you have a MavMount, the one battery slot is laser cut so you can remove part of the foam to accommodate the nave mount, leaving 3+1 battery spots, and I currently only have 3 total in there, and Oswald one of the battery holes for my lanyard. You can see there is a spot also cut under the drone for the iPad mount part of the MavMount. I slide my 3 count PolarPro filters in the empty slot you see on the left. Any questions, just let me know! Hope it helps!

Yours is mavic 2? I have the mavic pro platinum but I assume they would be laid out the same...also is that an iPad mini?

 

[OldNavyChief]

Oh man....sorry didn’t notice you were a Mavic Pro! But I think they have the same for yours too! And yep.....that’s a mini, you’ll notice another laser cut foam ring aroun it you can remove for a regular iPad if you use that. I just tossed my old mini in there so you could see it (the brand new mini 5 is on the charger at the moment!)

 

[OldNavyChief]

There’s also some more small part storage under the battery charging bank you see on the right

 

[MavProPlat1968]

Just got a mini 5 today..... I just couldnt make myself pay the extra for the M2P I got a pretty good deal at best buy on the platinum. I envy you though...how do you like the camera on it?? I wish the mavic pro had the hyperlapse mode on it like yours does. I'll look at the gpc cases for my drone to see if they are laid out the same.

 

[OldNavyChief]

The mini 5 is awesome for use with the Mavics! This drone is new for me, waited a long time before finally pulling the trigger......just decided to jump! Love the camera so far....finding this drone so much more intuitive than previous drones I’ve flown. The MP series drones are all awesome truthfully, I think we both made good choices!! Still working with the camera, so many features and settings.....hard to know where to start, but so far so good?

 

[MavProPlat1968]

If I read right, doesnt it have a hyperlapse mode?

 

[OldNavyChief]

Sure does......I haven’t done a hyperlapse yet, but looking forward to it. I’ve seen a few posted on here by other pilots that were really well done!!

 

[MavProPlat1968]

Sure does......I haven’t done a hyperlapse yet, but looking forward to it. I’ve seen a few posted on here by other pilots that were really well done!!

When I started watching videos on these drones, that was something that really got me...I love hyperlapse, the I set my heart on a mavic pro, and at the time didnt realize only the M2 has it. I've watched videos of how people do it with the MP, but it sure would be nice to just touch the mode and go.

 

[MavProPlat1968]

Unfortunately it looks as though the case for the MPP is totally different than yours...I dont even think it has the space underneath for the ipad.

 

[OldNavyChief]

I hear ya! Kind of like drinking from a fire hose at the moment......so much tech packed into these....so much to try.

Seen the GPC-DJI-MAVIC-PLUS-1, while set up a little different, looks like it has most all of the same storage including spot for iPad mini, just on its side instead of flat. And 6 battery spots!

You are correct sir, just watched a video on it.
