So how is the new bag that comes with the Mavic 3 Pro?  It looks different then the one that came with the Original M3, and I am just wondering how it compares.  I am still waiting for the warehouse to fulfill my order.  :  )

Compact but no zipper on the main opening translates it as a serious degrade over the the original M3's carry bag in my opinion. Best to use it for accessories only and not even mildly rugged to house such an expensive drone.

I got my Fly More Kit combo today. I was expecting the bag to turn into a backpack. But it doesn't.
No big deal.

Thank you - and yes, I was kind of wondering about that protection level.  Appreciate the info shared.

Well, that is a bummer.  Those backpack bags are awesome.  I have two and intend to keep them.  If I sell a Cine, it's going with a GPC case.  : )

So that's where the money for the third camera came from... They skimped on the bag... DJI is getting really thrifty...

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out. Kindly please check below the difference between the bag for each set of packages. Should you have other inquiries, please don't hesitate to reach us. Have a nice day ahead.

Ditto! I'll have my Cine bag forever. It's highly underrated.

Glad I kept my bag from my mavic 3 now

It feels rugged with the magnetic clasp, but I would like the little extra protection from drops and the elements that a zipper affords.

That makes sense, especially since it is a heavy drone and the batteries make for some weight in the bag.  Agreed!!!!

i like the old convertible bag/backpack as well so i purchased one recently online; they are readily available from various places including amazon and ebay from $30 - $90 depending on condition.

Got my m3 pro Cine today. Bag is bunk.  Drone is nice.  : )

Still waiting on mine. What’s wrong with the bag.

I like the M3  bag better than the M3 Pro bag. Mainly because the M3 Pro bag only has a what seems like a flimsy kind of buckle to keep closed. The M3 bag has a zipper as well as actual metal clips. Plus I actually like the bag being a little larger from the M3.  No biggie I guess as long as the drone and remote work, as I had to send my RC Pro back (which meant the that included the drone) first time around. But I have the replacement already and things seem well. I’ve only had a chance to fly two quick trips so far.

I have a little bit of mixed feelings about both bags. I liked the zipper and the compartments inside the Mavic 3 bag, but I did not like the convertible backpack option. It made the bag bigger and really heavy. It was a nice idea, but for my use case it was not a good one. For me a Mavic is a drone which can be taken anywhere. I travel and go hiking a lot, so I am very happy when the bag is as small and light as possible. That was not the case with the Mavic 3 convertable bag.

That was done way better with the Mavic 3 pro bag now, at least in my opinion. It is smaller, lighter and for me the uutside material feels more robust and maybe water repellant? And I also do not hate the magnetic closure, but I have to admit, a zipper gives more security. I know a brand which produces camera bags and they managed to put both options into a bag… that would be awesome in a drone bag.

What I do not like about the Mavic 3 Pro bag are the „walls“ from the compartments. Why is the wall, which separates the batteries from the controller, open on one side? And why do the batteries have no wall to separate from each other? They will get scratched if you put both of them without a self made wall inside the compartment.

And there is one thing I cannot understand at all and never will when a company does this:
Why does someone sew the belt directly to the bag? Why can’t I detach it? Just put a clipper there and everyone who wants to use just the bag can detach the belt.

But, I am not sad or angry And despite my last point/calim, they made a very good decision with something else: The power brick. Yes, finally the power cable is detachable and they don’t send you just one cable for let’s say Australia, no, you will get all of them for the world! I really like the 100w charger. I only have to carry  one power brick now when traveling around, because with the DJI one I even can use it to charge my MacBook Pro

It's just not worthy of the rest of the kit.  It's better than some of the other DJI bags over the years and has an interesting clasp.  But I will be relegating this bag to the closet or making it a give-away.  : ).   Miles less than the bag that came with the M3 Cine.

Yes, good point about the power cords for each country.  I was really surprised by this.  It seemed like a lot of cords.  : )

FYI, there is hope on the wait.  Mine shipped a full week earlier than originally promised.

I have also kept my old M3 BAG just sold remote and craft will also keep 2 of the batteries and charger so will have 5 batteries .
Hoping the bag might be good enough to use for a stills camera and a couple of lenses if the quality is good it should be good.
Now all I need is the drone to arrive.

Well, that is plenty of batteries to do some longer days with!  Nice!

IMHO the new bag is much better because it's a bag and does not pretend to be a backpack. It has some cons - like an incomplete wall between battery and controller compartments, but this is minor compared to the previous convertible bag.
First, it was missing a regular handle - you were forced to use a belt. Secondly, the additional volume and weight of the backpack conversion made it so big and clunky, that I was using a LowePro DroneGuard backpack, which had a slightly bigger footprint but could pack much more things (and was way more comfortable in regular use).
Metal latches used to close the bag were so good - mine didn't have this clicky feedback on closing - you had to check twice if they were actually correctly latched. Also, the straps were too short, if you were wearing a winter jacket, there was a high chance, that you were not able to put it on.
