Hard Shell Backpack options

booziebrooks · Apr 5, 2017

With my new purchase of this P4, I want to get a good hard shell bag to bring it everywhere. There are tons online and on Amazon, but I would like to know if there is one in particular that is common on the forums and avid fliers.

Thanks!

There are really only a few hard shell backpacks available on Amazon. Many of the sellers are selling a re-branded version of the same backpack. Check out the reviews on Amazon to see what people think of them.

Okay will do!

I just picked up a Smatree DP3000 from Amazon. It's awesome, well built and thought out. The foam case fits inside, if that fits your requirement for a hard shell.

Hard shell case is secure but not as comfortable as soft backpack.

I really liked the one that came with my phantom. I'm not sure the brand but it works great. Holds 3 batteries, both sets of props, and either the charging cable.

Did it come as a package?

Yes, but I'm sure it can be bought individually. So I included the picture for comparison.

These are literally all the same styrofoam moldings inside and look just like the one I got. Some have a lightly different exterior design:

I don't know if that link will work, but I bought the Tozo soft backpack that the grey foam case that came with your phantom 4 fits into. (wow bad english) I love it. very tight fit, lots of extra room. very satisfied with the purchase.

yes the link works perfectly. again I couldn't be happier with the fit, construction, and extra pockets. An extra bonus is that I don't really want the extra attention a hardshell case will bring when carrying the drone. Good luck finding your case!

I had a problem with the 'Hard-shell' B/pack (there's a few different 'branded' makes of the same thing). One of the shoulder straps started to pull away (stitching). I re-enforced them all with some small s/less steel bolts and lock-nuts. Fine now AND the seller gave me a full refund (as a credit). Happy Bunny!

Thanks for the heads up on this backpack. I ordered and got mine a little while ago. It IS great. Room for EVERYTHING, including extra props batteries, tablet, and even room for my sun hood and collapsible landing pad. All that and still comfortable to wear when hiking. Love it.

I have the same Tozo case cover and you are right, very good fit, decent qaulity. I recommend it as well.
