so i've been putting off buying a proper case forever and just been tossing my mini 4 pro into a padded bag which i know is bad but it's worked so far. planning a trip in a few weeks though and i'm actually gonna be checking luggage for once and the idea of that thing getting thrown around by baggage handlers is making me nervous. i looked at the official DJI fly more combo case but honestly it looks kinda flimsy for the price. has anyone tried the Torvol or Skyreat hard cases? or is there something else im missing that everyone uses. also does anyone actually use those landing pads when they travel or do you just find a clean spot

i went through like three different cases before settling on the Nanuk 910 and honestly haven't looked back. cut the foam myself which was kind of a pain but it fits everything perfectly ? drone, extra batteries, ND filters, the works. its heavy but if youre checking it anyway who cares. for landing pads i just bring one of those foldable ones from amazon, the 50cm size fits in my bag no problem and its actually really useful when you're somewhere with tall grass or dusty ground. dont want debris getting sucked into anything.

oh i actually just got the Skyreat one last month for my mini 3, i think it works with the 4 as well? it's not as heavy duty as like a pelican or nanuk but for carry on its been fine and it fits in the overhead bin which is the main thing for me. the foam cutouts arent perfect but nothing moves around. landing pad wise i never bothered until i flew at a beach and got sand everywhere, now i always bring one lol
