Storm-proof Drone Bag

[almorelle]

There's a project for storm-proof bags for cameras and drones on Indiegogo that looks cool. I personally think it's more for people that have the money and like an all-in-one solution with cool features but the bags are nice.

I'm not part of this, I just saw it and thought it might interest some of you.

Cool. Hard to find one that holds an iPad mini.

Video review of a pre-production unit here at Drone Valley:

If you really need the protection against the elements it might be just the thing; for most of us it strikes me as awkward and might not fit everything plus a MavMount unless it's disassembled, adding to setup time. It might fit a folded Mavic with leg extensions left in place, but hard to tell. Good idea for those who need it, though.

I use one of these; the sling has a built-in rain cover at the bottom, I can leave leg extensions on and my 10" diameter stowed landing pad straps to the back: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B013MC8H2A

I use a 40L dry bag that looks very similar in size to that picture and just throw the DJI fly more bag in there with whatever stuff I'm bringing, works perfectly and even a slot for a laptop/ipad mini

Why would you need a storm proof bag? Not like you'll be flying in a storm!

 

[almorelle]

I found that having a bag designed for the mavic was interesting to see and the design is actually pretty cool.

Anyway, there are already many posts for mavic bags. I personally use very small cases that I can literally fit in any other bag That's the best for set up time.

Not another "must buy" bag, I have about a dozen already, Can't resist cases and bags.

Well for example, I go to Panama with my bird, it rains everday around 1-2 for an hr to 3 hrs so if we are out hiking for the day, no need to worry about the bird getting wet and after the rain some of the shots are awesome like this

I always thought my wife was bad but it appears some of her madness has rubbed off on me, I have about a dozen bags and cases now for my Mavic, all essential of course.

For some reason I found that these actually took up more space than the more fly bag. It's nice to have them separated but there's nothing that compares to the compactness of having everything in that little shoulder bag

Interesting concept, but one of the big downsides for me is that this bag comes up short with storage for all of my other accessories. I not sure if I'm in the minority or not, but I like having everything with me... This would be a great bag for a short day trip, but for full on storage of all my stuff, not an option...this would have to be an add on add I wouldn't want to travel with this alone. My $0.02...

This is nice but i bought this one so it can fit any backpack or shoulder bag with at ease.

Good reason to buy another mavic or three

Yeah I travel with the back pack bag you see with the carbon fiber pattern around $60 it holds everything including heli pad big blue multi charger 5 batteries, mini ipad and is semi waterproof ( the zipper is not) fits on my flight to Mex and Panama just great

If this bag was $75-90 would consider

Do you have a part number or where you purchased your 40 litre bag? I plan to put the fly more bag inside it like you when I'm out snowmobiling this winter. I also have a foldable helipad and hope it fits as well.

Thanks,
Roy
