For those who didn't see, the backpack will be available to purchase as shown here:
https://store.dji.com/product/manfrotto-dji-35-pl
In the US it will be $329
In the UK it will be £319
This price will be reduced if brought with the Phantom 3 as part of a combo.

£319..

I cant imagine that DJI have sold many at that price point. As Mad pointed out the one that the prerelease phantoms came in are like the one in the video, based on how competitive they have priced the P3, I would hope they will follow suite with the backpack at maybe around £100....fingers crossed..
WOW! $329 for a backpack!!, I don't think so, not when I can get a very nice ProCraft one for half that.
I know. I was commenting that IF it did, it'd be worth buying the Pro version just for that fact. Since it's not then I guess the decision on which to buy depends on what camera you want.

I checked with my contact at Power-Hobby and he told me he will have P3 ProCraft Backpacks in stock in 2-3 weeks for approx $160, they are very nice and hold up to 6 batteries as well as a tablet or goggles in addition to the normal stuff. Lots of external pockets and a nice comfy looking carry system. You can see the P2 version here http://www.powerhobby.com/procraft-...ision-puls-fieldline-alpha-ops-sandstone.html
I have seen that one here in the US on ebay for $40 or so, I am not a fan of tie down straps and all the wasted space, much prefer custom cut foam.
One of the best features is the waist band to secure the pack from shifting if you are hiking or climbing. This is a must for a serious backpack, I do a lot of backpacking in the Sierra's and this one looks like my high end pack.
This is the backpack that I'm saving for (Airport Helipak). I've used Think Tank Photo's products for years both professional and personally. There stuff is bomb proof, well designed and high-quality manufacturing.
Looks good but is £189 in the UK and I can only find 1 outlet.
Nice, but not really a backpack, more like a suitcase, and only if you are going a short distance, no good for hiking 10 miles up into the mountains to get some footage. Great for the airport or hotel or to the local park, but I live in the foothills with 8000' mountains close by, not practicable.

That looks like my spare one that I had for my v+ from eBay although I'm sure the foam is much better quality. This time around I opted for something I can have multiple uses for. I ordered the Vanguard uprise II. It has pretty good reviews and I can take my dsrl with me. At less than $150 bucks why not give it a try? At least until the ones specific for the p3 come out.This is the backpack that I'm saving for (Airport Helipak). I've used Think Tank Photo's products for years both professional and personally.

It rocks!!!
I had to get mine imported from the UK. It's well made and cheap in comparison to others. It has served me for almost a year and its faultless. You can also squeeze in an ipad in the laptop compartment. Got a hidden raincoat also.
Great for long hikes, overseas, and it will fit the P3 because it's configurable.
It has a camera rated padding, though I don't think it would survive if you rolled down a cliff with it.

I found a local seller for that backpack on eBay. It seems like the Vanguard is a bit taller. How's the fitting of the v+ considering the motors are going against your back and the p3 is a bit taller. Also how is being held down. Does it have a padded velcro strap that goes across the Phantom to keep it down? . Thanks. I have the Vanguard on order but I'll return it if this one is good enough.
