Yea... Pulling props is something I don't miss from the old drone days. NOT AT ALL!!!
Carrying Case?
- Thread starter xell
- Start date
Good idea with the plastidip! I was going to pick a HF Orange today but saw the Nanuk. It is a little bigger, has tons of Nanuk specific accessories blah blah... man it was convenient to order that haha, and that’s the best justification for it
I have the MC case and the props do not not get pushed down, when the drone is in the case the props are just touching the top of the red foam, so effectively supported. I have not seen any issues with props getting deformed and have had the case for over a month.

Very tempting, But I'm going to wait and see if I can get a custom pre-cut case, seems much cleaner..
Would prefer Nanuk but we'll see..

Absolutely available in the US; $199 shipped. But props off is a dealbreaker
hence the 945 OmniTech custom

I'm not that informed on the cases yet Scott, haven't even got the drone yet ?Yes, they are available here but as Sayenah said it stores the drone with props off so that's a no go, but thanks for the heads up..
We be lazy over here, dont want to take the props off all the time!
just saw Nanuk and orange and thought of you. ??

And I appreciate you pointing it out to me, I would definitely prefer orange and Nanuk and I'm sure there is stuff out there I am not seeing.
And you will love it when you get one! I got lucky and timing just worked out for me.
Yes, the B and W case allows you to leave the braces on even though the drone doesn't sink all the way in, since the lid is so tall. I modified mine to work sunk in.

So I had emailed the guy I was referred to at B&W to get one of their cases, here is his reply.
"Unfortunately this product is not yet available in the US, but it has been ordered. I may end up bringing some more in via air-freight from our HQ in Germany, but the timing/cost may not make sense. I will keep you updated as information becomes available.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Todd "
I also emailed Nanuk suggesting they come up with a props on case with room for lots of batteries. Not sure what if anything will become of that. But I can hope. I really like the Nanuk cases!
Or hopefully Omni Tech will get their foam fixed soon.

Why is sooooo hard for any of these American manufacturers to make ONE case which accommodates for props-on?? WTF
Asked the dudes at MC to modify the foam for the braces. This is what they did.
Great guys! And it fits perfectly in my current MC hard case.

No kidding!! These drones are selling like crazy, why cant we get a decent case?
So where can I get the case with that interior? WAIT A MUNUTE... I just saw there are no props on the back.

This is the MC Cases hard case. Rear props can stay on as well. The two holes under the rear arm accommodate two goggle batteries

Yes I went back and watched the video and saw they were for goggle batteries underneath.
So were you able to buy just the foam? Where?
So I emailed the MC Cases customer support and asked if they could just sell me the foam because the dimensions of the hard case which I have are the exact dimensions of the case which they use for FPV drone.
I wouldn’t advise buying the foam without measuring the interior dimensions of the hard case you are fitting it in (but then again, these things can be modified... it is foam after all).
honestly the MC Cases is a good bet. The other way is getting an Orange Nanuk 945 from Amazon for $155 and contacting Foama to make a custom foam interior for you (if you decide to not use the cubed foam which comes with the orange Nanuk 945).
the B&W case seems like a bigger hassle as NO ONE has it and the importer seems to be waiting on a bulk order, understandably so.
funny thing is, I have the orange Nanuk 945 on the way as well coming tomorrow. I will carve out the interior and use the Nanuk for now. The foam for the MC-Cases is going to take about 4-5 weeks.

Have you heard back yet? And what are those dimensions? Wondering if it would fit in a Nanuk 945..

Yes I have the MC Cases fpv foam on order. Check their site; they have the exterior dimensions of the hard case (not the foam) on their site. Compare that with the exterior/interior dimensions of a Nanuk 945. It will give you a rough idea. You can also email them and get the dimensions of the foam alone.
