Hi everyone,
New to the forum and also new to flying! I apologise if this is in the wrong section or has already been covered (have had a look through the search).
I picked up a DJI Phantom 3 Standard last week and wanting to buy a decent backpack to store it/travel with. I've narrowed it down to the following three but I honestly can't decide.

The Manfrotto is about 1kg lighter than the other two and I've read awesome reviews on it. Also like that it has dedicated battery and propeller pockets. Only thing I'm worried about is the bottom legs seem to be right at the bottom of the bag which makes me think they could get damaged if it's dropped.
The other two Vanguards seem to be very well built and look like they'd offer more protection for the drone when it's sitting inside. But they're also fairly new (early 2017 release I think) and I can't seem to find many reviews on them.
Has anyone got either one of these backpacks? Or thoughts on which way I should go? The Vanguard 51D seems to be just over carry on baggage limits for most airlines (in Australia anyway) so I'm not too sure about that one..
