Yay, my MC Backpack has arrived !
(in fairness, its been waiting for pickup for a few days ... due to a DHL screw up)
first impressions:
seems high quality (time will tell)
good zips, nice material
everything fits nicely - and is ready to fly.
nice extra pockets, and zipped compartments.
backpack - shoulder straps are padded nicely, waistband is basic, but I really like even on a light rucksack.
comes with a rain cover, not really needed here in Spain... always good to see, esp when carry electronics.
feels pretty light with drone in it - so I think its doing to be comfortable.
overall, looks to be exactly what I was after - a way to take the drone on a hike, and be able to get it out quickly to fly, and then put away again.
negatives...none really, it is exactly what I expected/wanted.
but cons, i guess are:
- its expensive, but for if it works well - I think its worth it.
- its a medium size day sack, but if you consider, for a hike there is no space for water/snacks, a (large) camera.
ok, it has some pockets - so, could carry small water canister - but I often carry 2L bottles of waters.
however, its pretty much the size of the drone... so to have extra capacity would make it pretty large
of course, since I (pre)ordered it, things have changed...
Ive now also a 5" drone, so now wondering if I can somehow cram its bits in there too
I dont think so....
in fairness, the DJI FPV is really the one I want to take hiking, given its longer flight time and RTH/safety features.
anyway, the real test is when I take it hiking ... which will be very soon...
