Good Protection When Traveling

The DJI Hardshell Backpack for Phantom 3 drones is relatively lightweight and durable compared to other carrying cases. It’s great for shooting outdoors and can fit into most airplanes’ overhead bins. The hardshell backpack’s exterior dimensions are 12.5 x 17.6 x 9.0” (31.8 x 44.7 x 22.9 cm).

Protection from the Elements

If you’re hiking to shoot on a beach, in the mountains, or a dust, arid location, you’ll want to make sure your Phantom 3 and its accessories are protected in the event of rain, light snow, or other inclement weather scenarios.

Cost as a Consideration

If you’re concerned about cost and do your research, you’ll find that certain hard shell cases can run well into the hundreds of dollars range. While this may be a great investment, if you’re constantly travelling to remote or geographically challenging locations with intense weather conditions, a traditional hard shell case may not be the most practical option out there. If you have already maxed out your budget on your Phantom 3, polarized filters, and other accessories, an expensive hard shell case may not be an option.

Versatile Design and Construction

Carrying cases are limited in their usefulness. Carrying straps tend to get snagged while traversing natural terrain and the weight distribution of these can lead to back and neck injury. Rolling camera cases are a great option when traveling through airports and taking other modes of transportation to get a to a shooting location. However, a rolling camera bag isn’t ideal for surfaces that aren’t smooth; wheels can get caught on rocky or uneven areas and cause you greater frustration.

Comfortable and Lightweight

This hardshell backpack is a great option for packing your Phantom 3 gear when travelling out into the field. It’s a good alternative to heavy, hard shell cases that can really do a number on your back or simply may just be too impractical for rugged terrain. While traditional hard shell cases can be great for heavy-duty shooting scenarios they can put your body through too much strain for simple, day-to-day shooting. Also, more often than not, you’ll find that when using a large, hard shell case, you end up bringing too much along.

What makes the DJI hardshell backpack for Phantom 3 drones unique, is that if offers durability, but only weighs in at 3.5 lb (1.6 kg). When packed with the Phantom 3 and its accessories, it can support a maximum weight of 22 lb (10 kg), which is far lighter than some of the loads towed by other hardshell options.

Bring What You’re Actually Going to Need

If you’ve ever traveled for business or went on a vacation, you’ll know how easy it is to overpack and bring things with you that you don’t actually need. The nice thing about the DJI hardshell backpack for Phantom 3 drones is that it has enough space to pack in the essentials without weighing you down.

Hands-free Convenience

If you’re going on a hike to shoot, you’ll want to have your hands free to help balance yourself and prevent injuries. The DJI hardshell backpack is ideal for photographers and cinematographers who spend a lot of time outdoors and walk long distances to shoot aerial footage.
