I bought my Mavic in a Fly More Combo about 7 weeks ago.   I can't find a shoulder strap to go with the bag - I can't recall ever seeing one.  I didn't actually use the bag - I bought a hard case instead.

I've contacted somone else who has a Fly More combo - and they can't find a shoulder strap either!

So my question is this - is there supposed to be a shoulder strap with the bag in the fly-more combo?   The bag is described as the "mavic shoulder bag" shown here with strap when sold seperatly:  https://store.dji.com/product/mavic-shoulder-bag  

Its difficult to see how a shoulder bag would not have a sholder strap.

Mine came with a strap, but of course it was not attached.  It came in a separate tightly-folded wad, as I recall.  I don't remember precisely where in the packaging it was.  It would have been easy to miss when you're trying to open 20 little white boxes and get everything set up.

Generic straps are just a couple bucks if you really want one.  I find that silly shoulder bag to be way too small to be useful without risking damage to the controller.  Someone at DJI needs to have their head placed into a toilet for that one.

It should come with a strap and is probably the best way to carry it.  From memory my strap came wrapped and elsewhere so i had to fit it myself.
I love the fly more bag.  I can get everything in without losing portability.  It'll even drop into my day sack with real camera gear without issue.
I carry the mavic, remote, 3 batteries, the cables, spare SD cards, spare props, filter set, tablet holder in the bag itself with a small landing pad clipped off to a d-ring on the outside.  Its a good neat solution containing everything needed to fly.

How do you get all that crammed into the bag without having the controller sticks get completely mashed to one side?  I've tried getting everything in there several times and finally gave up in frustration.  Maybe I'll have to try again.

Someone should make a video on how to best pack your Mavic bag.

There are some after market Controller Stick Thumb Protective Clip available to protect the sticks when packing in the bag.   Also several youtube videos on how to pack the bag (but frankly I still felt the result was unsatisfactory):

I put the controller in so that the sticks are in the middle of the pocket, controller's back perpendicular to the front of the bag. It helps if you put the batteries in the side pockets last.

I just use one of the stick protectors to clip over them to hold rigid.  Needed one even without the bag as whatever i put the remote in the slightly pressure on them would cause them to move.

FWIW 1 battery in the mavic.  Mavic, remote and top bit of tablet holder fit into main compartment.  1 battery in the netting each side.  Spare props and cables in the zip mesh on top of the lid.  The front compartment has the other part of tablet holder and the filters.

Strap should come with the bag, came with mine too. Maybe shipper/seller missed placing it with the bag. I believe mine inside the bag.

Thanks.   The link I posted was the shoulder bag sold on its own - indeed showing a strap - that was what prompted my query.  My question was about the bag provided in the Mavic Fly More Combo - which I thought might not be supplied with a strap (erroneously or not) - particularly as someone else I contacted was missing a shoulder strap in their Fly More Combo.

It would seem clear from the responses that a shoulder strap should be included - thanks folks!

First you put two batteries down into the left side puch, in 69 position, then you pull that flap up ontop of them like its a blanket. Then once you have the gimbal dome installed, you slide the Mavic into the other side, dome first, and iward so it touches a battery. If you especially clever you kept the rubber dome cover and use it now so the dome doesn't get s scratch, not that it matters because you being very wise would never fly with it. The mavic of course has a battery on it. Next you slide the remote down ontop of the blanketed batteries, at a 45 degree angle clockwise, with the sticks on the low side. Since you left the props on, you don't need the bagged extras, but since you are a big show off, you slide them down around the rc. Your silly smart phone can now go in the ceiling pouch.
