I am a bit disappointed with the Spark bag that comes with the fly more bundle. I was expecting the foam box that the drone comes in to fit in the bag, it doesn't!!! This means you have to put the drone loose in the bag. Not ideal really.

Has anyone bought a case yet? Looking for one I can put everything in and then put in a rucksack really.

I'm pleased with the bag that comes in the Fly More package.  It protects the spark rather well IMO. It fits everything but yet it is small enough to be conveniently mobile to carry around.  I can even throw it into the saddle bag of my motorcycle. Anything else would be too bulky and be less likely to be carried around to have on hand for an impromptu flight.

Go Pro Case which has enough room for everything in my Spark arsenal.  Great news is they start shipping tomorrow.  $69.00 + shipping unless you can find it from a local dealer.

Hardside, water resistanant case that hold (4) spare batteries, the Spark and Battery, the remote, the charging brick and tray and spare props.  They've even left room for your phone.

My Mavic is hangered in one of these cases and I wanted the same case for my Spark.

They also have a smaller case - and I think it's $49.00 and it's:



Good Flying

I don't have an issue with the case, personally. Though I would like to have some way to protect the gimbal like on the Mavic. Something about it being all free and loose kinda bothers me lol

I'd like a camera cover, only seen a 3D printed one on eBay that looks crude or one linked on here at $20 plus shipping to U.K. Need a nice soft one that won't damage the camera!

I just got one.  So far, not impressed.  Its not really a "hard case"  top is "not hard" without any foam protection. It's not soft either but it flexes a lot.

and while it is better than a normal soft case, its not very rigid meaning if you put your palm down on top of the case, you will likely here a crunch of the propeller blades breaking especially if you put something in the mesh compartment on top.   

I also don't see how its waterproof but I haven't tested it out yet.  The zipper seems like just a normal zipper but I could be wrong here.  I was hoping to buy a rigid case and this case is NOT that.  In terms of protecting the spark, the hard foam case it came with does a better job in my opinion.

For the price, its not a bad case.  But its not very rigid and I highly doubt its waterproof.  Maybe water resistant.

I plan on taking it out on the water kayaking so I think I will just by a pelican type case and cut out the foam inserts myself.  The gopro one seems more like what I was looking for.

Thanks for letting me know your opinions, I was planning to order this however won't and will wait for a case from incase since I have a Mavic case by them and its perfect... can't find the link to the incase one I have however its much like this http://amzn.to/2srDUbZ

Here is a multi-purpose gimbal guard a friend shared with me.  I don't feel the need for it but you may find it beneficial.

That would be me.  My Spark will reside in the hatch of my car so it's always there and available.

Yeah, me too...the go professional case will protect it in transport (truck bed or trunk)...I do like the case it came with for once I get there...holds just enough...don't need the charger or power pack...barely enough room for prop guards in front pocket.

Tough case doesnt need to be a big case.  Like others, I want to pack it in my vehicle so its always with me.  I need it to be waterproof as I plan to use the spark to capture video of fishing, specifically off my kayak.

There are a few other options out there for the DJI Spark case, i've noticed quite a few are just the same model rebranded but they seem to get good reviews on amazon. I found an article about some good cases for the DJI Spark.
The Polar Pro does seem pretty handy but i'm not too sure how much protection it will give the Spark. If you've got the fly more kit potentially the MC Cases professonal case? It's got loads of room for accessories and it also waterproof.

Hope this helped.

I did a review of the Smatree D400 not long ago.



If im using a bag just for the spark I use the original FM bag (watch to the end, I show how everything fits in into the FM bag). If i want to transport or store i use the D400. For normal use I have a Kata bag that holds my mavic, spark, batteries, remotes, filters and everything else.

I personally like the the fly more bag because it fits what I need and is very small and portable. However, I would suggest using a propeller holder and gimbal cover for Spark, and joystick protector for controller when placing in bag.

I purchased a hard case off amazon($23). It’s obviously no Pelican Case but it is awesome to protect it during travel! I use the hard case to travel and switch to the provided fly more bag when I’m going on a walk or something of that nature. The shoulder strap is very nice for that.

Another happy camper with the flymore bag.  It’s amazing just how much it fits in there.  (Spark, controller,  3 batteries, iphone plus, filters, cables, sunshade..etc)

I also have a gimbal cover and RC stick cover.

If I travel And need the charger, I jsut put everything in the bag and pack the drone in the orignal foam for the trip,.

I have seen other, more sturdy bags, but none at the size of the flymore bag

Got myself the charging station and the bag for it.
You can fit this in any backpack you own and everything is locked into place.

Got in there: spark + 3 batteries (completely rechargeable on the go), remote controller with pgy stick protector, landing gear, nd4/8/16 polarized filters (under the landing gear between station and controller in self made foam tray), usb cable+otg

Honesty just buy one that serves its purpose. If you nobody cares about the quality of the case. So what if you have a $200 case. Who is goin to say” that’s a nice case” your grandma?
