Some of you will think this is crazy.... others may not.
I designed a case which GPC made for me to house my Mavic Air unfolded.

While it is a nice small package folded up, I find it to be a pain to constantly unfold it to retrieve images, do FW updates, even to remove & charge the battery.
So, I had a custom case made.
In it, the bird sits ready to fly and there is room for extra batteries and the remote with CrystalSky attached.
This makes this a real run-n-gun rig ready to fly in 1-2 minutes of arrival at a shoot.
Plus I feel it will put a lot less wear and tear on the moving parts of the arms.

Many thanks to GPC case for their custom fabrication service.
Not cheap, but one gets what one pays for.
If cheap is what I wanted, there are plenty of $30 cases out there.
What I wanted is one that fits my needs.
I no longer have to fold / unfold the bird, or break down the RC every time I go out and can carry extra batteries and props, all in one very well made case!

I still prefer the mavic to be folded back into a bag, in my case; but u have a neat idea.

Went on a shoot today with this new case.
Case sits nicely right on the passenger seat of the car.
I was airborne in about 90 seconds!​
What a pleasure not to have to constantly unfold and refold the bird!
Then, on returning home, just pop off the gimbal guard and plug her in to the computer, pop out the depleted battery, replace gimbal guard, then pop it back in the case.
(I do preflight checks when replacing in case after a shoot.)
