Smallest and lightest hard case for Mavic Pro

[lomposlapos]

What is the lightest and smallest hard case for Mavic Pro?

I need for extreme backpacking so size and weight is a big factor. The case would be carried inside a backpack in a Pelican 1620 or comparable transport case..

Must hold only the fragile items: drone, controller, spare propellers.

All of the glitzy cases one see on the web are at least 30% larger in volume than they should be, and way too heavy.

The PolarPro soft case might work for you.

I'm quite fond of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...page_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=mavicpilots-20
Cheap, and compact. And since it's actually two small cases, you can make them fit in your bag however you want. I've been using mine while traveling throughout Asia and California the last 3 months.

Thank you, these are the types I am looking for, but it must be a hard case. Does not have to be bullet-proof, but hard enough so you can toss into a backpack next to sleeping bag and shoes. Imagine something like a very lightweight Pelican case

How about the compact Case Club case or the compact Pelican case?

The case I linked to is semi rigid -- and fine. it's been knocking around in my larger camera case with loose lenses, camera bodies, batteries, GoPros, table tripods, etc...without a scratch or malfunction. I wouldn't stand on it, but other than that I'd vouch for it for what you want.

What does it mean make it a Pelican? Would they sell you instead a bona fide Pelican? Which one?

What does it mean make it a Pelican?

See my links above. There is a Case Club case and then the same case insert in a Pelican brand case.

Do you know what is the Pelican case model number?

 

[msinger]

It looks like the Pelican 1200 case.
