DJI Drone Cases and Backpacks

Drone enthusiasts are always on the lookout for new high performing drones to add to their collection. DJI have kept up with this demand over the years by consistently developing the best drones for consumers to enjoy. Their drones cost a lot of money and demand care when moving around with them or storing them. The cases and backpacks dedicated to DJI drones are exceptional pieces of equipment in their own right.

Drone lovers will tell you nothing takes the joy out of flying your drone like having under packed for it. You end up flying for shorter periods because you do not have extra batteries or a charger.  The only way to overcome this challenge is to invest in a backpack or case that accommodates your bird and most of its accessories.

It is important to get the right backpack or case to ensure the best protection for your DJI drone. This will eliminate issues like bent propellers, cracked lenses, and dents on the body of the drone which come about because of poor fitting cases.

What to Consider When Choosing a DJI Drone Backpack

Torso Length

Drone backpacks are not gender specific so you will not find a drone pack for women and one for men. They are made to fit most torso lengths for adults or youths. They should have strong adjustable straps that are contoured to fit a wide number of shapes.

Waist Size

The weight from the backpack should rest on your hips to prevent strain and injury to your back. Understandably, some packs do not come with a waist belt. That is still okay for some uses, but if you are looking for one to use during high octane activities it is imperative that it comes with a waist belt. It will transfer up to 80% of the pack’s weight onto your hips making moving around easier and faster.

What to Consider when Choosing a DJI Drone Case

Case Size

Finding the right size case can be a challenge. Too small of a case and you won’t be able to fit enough accessories. Too large of a case and it will be too heavy to bring with you. Cases are usually much heaver than backpacks.

Case Materials

The case should be made of strong and durable materials. This is imperative because unlike backpacks which you can have on your person at all times, cases might have to be checked underneath in your plane. It should be able to take a thump or crash and still remain intact while protecting the equipment inside.
