there are three different kinds of cases that i generally use for my
air 2s or my mavic 2 pro or my dji mini 2 and today i want to walk you through what those are
so that you can decide if one of them's best for you or you know which one you might want to get
because it is important especially if you're going to invest a lot of money in a drone to
protect it when you're traveling out to places like this and if you don't know me my name's jake
and i create content for solo creators on the go people like me are on the go creating small
commercial projects or stuff here on youtube so i test and review equipment here in alaska and i do
tips and tutorials on how to use that equipment so let's jump into what kinds of cases you might
want to use for your drone and the first is the case that comes with the fly more combo from dji
definitely not a bad case uh it's not the greatest but it's not bad it does shed water pretty well
and fits everything that you need in here right now i've got my mini 2 in here so fits that
fits the controller nicely fits a couple of extra batteries nd filters all of that fits inside the
case nicely and the nice thing is that with this case you can take it with you to a lot of places
because it's pretty much just grab and go you can throw it over your shoulder carry it around
and run with it well maybe not actually run with it but you can you know take it a lot of places
it's pretty easy to throw in the back of your car or something like that but it doesn't offer a lot
of protection and uh so that's the reason i don't use it very often now if you didn't get the fly
more combo something you might want to consider is just using your camera bag and that works pretty
well overall especially because most camera bags are pretty modular here you can see i've got the
air 2s tucked here i've got my controller tucked here i've got space for a couple extra batteries
my camera another lens and this is a pretty small backpack i think this is a what is this
18 liter yeah there's an 18 liter backpack so this is a think tank
mine shift 18 l and it works well but that also does not afford you the best protection because
especially if stuff's rolling around in your bag or you know there's a fair amount of space here
where stuff can shift around so there is another option which i'm pretty excited to tell you about
and that's these these are made by flight path or aldrin assassio is a friend of mine fellow
youtuber great channel you should definitely check them out and he spent a lot of time putting these
things together testing different materials out trying different things out these are fantastic
and not only do they fit the drone the air 2 or the air 2s really well you could i mean you
could fit a mini two in here too if you wanted to i think you might actually have some for the mini
but they're really nicely made cases they zip really nicely they've got even a rubberized
zipper so they'll repel a lot of water and then you can take this whole thing and just tuck it
in and then you've got this really nice solid case that keeps everything protected this one's
for the remote controller and the nice thing is there's a space up here on top where you can
stick nd filters if you've got nd filters from dji or polarpro or freewell the nice thing is
then you've got this case super well protected but the coolest thing about this is you don't
have to even use these for drones i love little cases like this because it's a great place to put
all of the little extras the little things that i have in my bag like gopro batteries
lens hoods extra batteries for the camera gaffers tape another gopro battery this little thing from
rode which uh you know allows you to put two two microphones on your on your lens but it's
just nice to be able to have a little bag a little compartment that you can put a lot of little odds
and ends zip it up and know that they're not gonna be falling all around or rattling all around your
camera bag so aldrin great job on these by the way he did send these to me but he's not paying me or
asking me to do anything he just sent him and said try them out so these are fantastic though
i really really like them i've been trying them out for the last couple of weeks and
they're great they're probably the best made little cases like this that i've seen you got
a little belt loop back here if you want to put it on your belt um just really nice really
great quality craftsmanship and great work so but that might sound like a commercial for these it's
not but they are fantastic if you're gonna pick something like that up i'd highly encourage you to
check these out there are links for all the stuff in the description if you want the highest level
of protection like you're traveling in extreme weather or extreme environments like i do a lot
then i highly recommend this case this is a hard case it's called sam smatry smatri
smatri i don't i don't know how to say it but it's really inexpensive it's on amazon and the nice
thing is it's weather sealed it's got a little rubber gasket around here so it'll keep the rain
out in theory i guess i could just throw it in the lake and see if it floats but i'm not going to
because i don't want to go swimming after it that lake is really cold but it does fit everything
nicely in there super well protected you've got all your batteries you can put in there
this is what i do just fy a little pro tip batteries with the terminals facing down are
fully charged batteries that the terminals facing up are discharged and need to be charged put your
charger some extra propellers even smith fits the smart controller in here you can take a
insert out and fit a smart controller and total room for five batteries in here
with the one in the air 2s or the air tube and this will work for either one
but this case has really been nice because then you can go you know the drone is you don't have
to worry about it you can throw the back of your car go through the rain go through the snow
throw it in a kayak travel across big lakes watch glaciers fall apart and know that your drone is
going to be totally totally protected if you want to learn how to fly your drone better
there's a playlist right here that'll take you through some videos also i created a course that
will teach you how to fly a drone from the very beginner to maybe a little bit intermediate and
you can click or tap the links in the description for that as always you can join my live stream
wednesday nights 4 pm alaska time 8 pm eastern i'll see you again soon in the next video cheers
