Backpack picked up from local Best Buy. Fits a lot of stuff, and is comfy to wear!
I agree that a diagram of where stuff is supposed to go would be helpful. After staring at it for a bit, you can more or less figure it out.
I suppose taking into account that the storage for the propellers is intended for props in a box (boxed propellers fit perfectly above the controller). I hadn't ordered extra props when I got my backpack so didn't have the boxed props to try. Although it does bring up a question for me, the backpack says it will hold two sets of propellers, but only 3 boxes fit in the cavity above the controller, so where does the last pair fit?Yeah, location of where things go is pretty self explanatory.

No benefit at all, I'm merely saying that the 3DR is saying the backpack is designed to hold two sets of props total. To your point, yes you can pretty much figure out where things go, but my point is that they're specifically saying that the pack is designed to hold eight props. Now if you were to keep them in a box they fit perfectly in the spot above the controller, so a fair assumption would be that is what that cavity is designed for. However, keeping the props in the box makes you only able to store six props in that location, not eight. If you kept your props loose, then the same cavity can hold more than eight props.What is the benefit of storing your props in the box the were sold in as opposed to not in the box - when using the backpack? The question is being asked because the box is merely a transport mechanism to get the props from point a to point b, undamaged and the backpack serves the exact same purpose and also allows for more props.
Seems to be you're being deliberately obtuse, but whatever. I'm with you, I'm done here too.You are actually splitting hairs by not trying to split hairs. You're tripping over the dollars to get to the dimes. Sometimes a little bit of commons sense can be exercised and solve most of the worlds, not so difficult problems. Do I like getting more than what's advertised? When beneficial, of course.
Let me ask you this, are you also packing the charging cables in the bag, in the box they orginally came in as well? If you used the same logic to pack other peripherals, that backpack wouldn't be big enough, you'd need a suitcase.
I'm done here.
... they're specifically saying that the pack is designed to hold eight props.
The tag on the backpack itself.?? Where do they say that? 3DR's claim that I read states:
The Backpack for Solo has room for the Solo copter with attached gimbal, plus the controller, as well as custom fit pockets for two replacement motor pods, up to five spare batteries, two sets of propellers
and that's at least what it holds and looks like there's room for a third set of props as well (I only have two boxed extra sets).
hmmm, wonder where he go the idea at the end to cut the foam for the props ;-)

It's all good. Great minds think alike.Considering I hardly frequented this forum prior to about a month ago, and still hardly look at old posts, that wasn't how I came up with it. I already had my props in the foam in the original "carry case" solo came with. It was an easy visualization.
Happened in realtime as I filmed the video.
Some people really have such chip on their shoulder they have to find and make up random ideas of fact. Odd if you ask me that you instantly thought I stole an idea and tried to pass it on as my own.
