So... How are you transporting Solo?

rrmccabe · Jul 17, 2015

I really like the layout of the B&H case. If I keep the Solo that might be the case I go with.

Do you have any more pictures if this?

I am thinking of ordering it but want to make sure it will fit everything. Think it will fit with controller under it with a gimbal on it?

This is he same packpack DJI uses for the Phantom, just with 2-3 minor differences.

Maybe it fits the Solo? I will buy it and let you know how it goes.

This is my 'lil diy case. For faster deployment I needed the whole thing assembled in the case securely, and deep enough to let the blades suspend in the air.

This case is just from a junk pile but for reference the dimensions inside are:

25" long (Solo is 21.5" long with blades extended as shown)
14.5" wide (Solo is 13" wide without blades)
8.5" high (Solo is 7.5" high)

Sorry I cant link to a case similar to buy, it's leftover from some old '80s Medalight strobes.

With the blades attached you can unpack it and be in the air in about 60 seconds (in manual mode). I wouldn't ship it like this but for tossing around in the car it's secure enough.

Just look at a video of the backpack I posted and it looks like a tight fit, by teh size of the Phantom inside the case and the space left, I don't think the Solo will fit.

Great set up Rich. I have the Fpvlr and currently remove it and put it in the propeller tray. But looking at it closer, I may be able to modify the foam and be able to leave it on. Sure would be more convenient that way.

Yes it is Dirby.

@Jubalr I agree. I really dont like dis assembly. Including props. Lazy

JLJ · Jul 23, 2015
