Where are the cutouts for iPads?
Genius!!!
Anyone use a Think Tank?
I received an email today from Think Tank advertising a AIRPORT HELIPAK V2.0 FOR DJI PHANTOM and found an assortment of models including an Inspire version on their website.
Helipak™ for DJI Inspire
Think Tank is the most popular camera bag for professional photographers and I own and love two myself; the Shape Shifter Backpack and Airport Security rolling bag. Mine have held up beautifully to very heavy use and abuse and I would expect the same from their Drone bags.
I was surprised to find out Think Tank made Drone cases but glad to hear they do. If I buy one, they will be on my short list.
Ok, at first I just pulled out a tape measure. What kinda help would I be if I gave you my jacked up dimensions? So here are the specs as listed on Pelican's site: <--- URL Link to the product
INTERIOR (L X W X D)
22.50" x 21.10" x 11.40" (57.2 x 53.6 x 29 cm)
EXTERIOR (L X W X D)
24.90" x 23.70" x 13.10" (63.2 x 60.2 x 33.3 cm)
This image is of the remote cutout. In the Inspire 2 version, there is a circular cutout for your cables.

This is a pic of one of the battery bays. These bays, because the I2's batteries are smaller, allow for storage on top of them. The case holds six batteries in the space provided plus two stored in the bird totaling eight. Note that because the battery compartment is larger, I have chosen to store the battery charging power supply here.

A top down view of the case with the bird in it. Top left is my single remote (I am still waiting for all of my accessories from AMP. They are delayed to the Chinese New Year). Bottom right is the second remote storage pictured above. Top center is a place to securely store four CINESSDs. I will put the CINESSD station in the compartment with the battery power supply. Bottom center is the battery charging station. Bottom left is the second battery storage compartment. After the batteries are inserted, the hard case for the X5S stores on top.

Pretty much the same image as above, but the X5S case is inserted.

This was annoying to me, and pretty much my only "con" for this case. You will notice the propeller storage slot on the bottom of this image. When it arrived, this pocket was EXTREMELY small, I removed a layer of styrofoam that rested against the inside of the case. This made this compartment quite a bit larger and allowed me to put documents that I always go out on location with (IE: COAs, manuals, flight logs, etc) One huge plus about this case over my Inspire 1 case though, is that this one came with the cutouts actually removed! My Inspire 1 case was precut, but I had to remove and discard all of the cutouts.

This is the exterior. Nothing to write home about here...

Hope this helps you make a decision. In my humble opinion, you cannot go wrong with Pelican. Ohh, just an FYI, the linear inches for this case is 61.7... NOT OVERSIZE
An empty im2875 case should be around 400€.
A link to a Peli reseller (& £ prices) I've used in the UK Casemarket Peli Prices (UK) - unfortunately, it doesn't look like they'll deliver to Finland, but at least their site will give you an idea of the range and a guide price.
Hope that helps!
...Here is what I see on Amazon UK Amazon.co.uk: pelican im2875,
Ouch! that first seller is extortionately priced! If they can sell a Peli for nearly 3.5x (£811) it's dealer price (£234), then I think I'll start selling them too!!! Can you message them and ask if it's gold plated!!!
try waterproof cases and see if they'll ship - they could probably buy a flight to Finland and personally deliver over to you cheaper than that guy's selling that first one on Amazon!
I like the layout of this case but it's dimensions are about 2 inches over the airline 62" cutoff. Has anyone flown with this case and if so, were you charged the oversized baggage fee? Or is this dimension so close that the airlines don't notice?I have the GoProfessional Case for Travel mode and it works great.. As a matter of fact.. it says that it only holds 8 batteries, but I've got it to hold 10..Love this case.
Hey Guys,
I bought a new Case from my dealer! (Accu Case)
www.tomcase.de (send international)
I am surprised about the Quality.
NICE addition . . . I might go after something like that for extra protection ! Thx for the idea ~I decided that I would use the existing I2 case and wrap it in this for folding bike travel bag for my driving around with my vehicle: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss/151-8592020-0229012?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=Vincita+Sightseer+the+Foldable+Travel+Set+for+Brompton+No+Bike+Logo
It may not be 'gorilla proof' for an airline, but the sides are padded and there is room for some reinforcement. I like that it is low key and does not announce that something valuable is within.
I am hoping later when I am ready for a stronger case there will be some excellent choices out there. Like a backpack that fits in a hard case... I will be using the I2 in the desert a lot.
