You could just go straight to the pelican, someone recommended the 1510. I picked up a 1520 but the size is right at the edge of approved carry-on sizes. So for the Ipad you could probably set it up so it fits in the foam in the lid. The lid foam isn't the pick and pluck but you can use an electric knife or a bread knife. You could also put the ipad beneath the pick and pluck; there's about 1/4 inch layer underneath, but you probably wouldn't want to be pulling out everything just to get to the ipad.
Pelican has a service for custom foam, and there are a couple others out there....
Okay, one more thing to think about, if you're using your ipad to run dji go 4 instead of a phone you'll probably need some kind of mount. Most of the pre-cut foam cases don't account for this so if you want everything in one container you'll either have to go with a custom foam insert, which will probably cost nearly as much as a pelican case, or just use the pic and pluck foam. Funny, I was looking at a 39.95 hard case on amazon and though the pictures showed the foam all neatly configured for a mavic, if you read the fine print, you'll have to pick and pluck it yourself, so caveat emptor.
Incidentally, most US airlines have a max dimension of 22"X14"x9" and there are a couple internationals that are slightly less. Google (ebags has a good list) can get you the info you need. Better to be prepared since lithium batteries aren't acceptable in checked luggage. |
