This carrying case has ABS plastic casing on the inside – which is always popular with those looking for serious protection – and a shockproof aluminum exterior on the outside.

This Manfrotto D1 Backpack for Quadcopter is definitely a selection in the higher-quality range for the backpack category for the Mavic. One of the coolest features is a separate compartment for a different type of video camera like a DSLR, along with room for two lenses for it. It is water-resistant, which is the best quality for a backpack that begins to be higher priced.
If you have a location change very quickly, you can open the front of this pack to carry the copter with propellers still attached, and you can also use this backpack to carry a laptop or tablet up to 17” in size. This is definitely the best option that we saw as far as backpacks out there: the manufacturer had the foresight to allow room for items other than the drone, and this item could most definitely withstand a higher than average beating.
