Just bought the DJI hardshell backpack for my P3P. Anyone know if it will fit in overhead bins on regular commercial airlines?
 
They're designed to fit I think, but check with your airline.

Here's a list of most airlines and their allowances.:

The bag itself is 31.8 x 44.7 x 22.9 cm, according to BH photo
 
I use a Fieldline Tactical Alpha, identical to the 511 and GoProfessional backpacks. It will fit in the overheads of Boeings and Airbuses, but not an ATR-72.

I'm using the 511 which is 22"x 13"x 9" (56cm x 33cm x 23cm). It barely fits in Q400 (DH4).

The DJI Hardshell Backpack is a bit smaller and should work nicely.
 
I've taken the hard shell and it's fine (through TSA also--with props and batteries). In fact, it's actually a bit smaller then *most* of the other stuff in the overhead. It was perfect for flying.

You won't have any problem unless you are on a small commuter Regional Jet (RJ)...the kind that has 2 seats, an aisle and one seat by the window. THOSE overheads are really small. My computer bag won't even fit in those overheads.
 
Glad it fit, but I have a question: I know those cases aren't cheap, so wouldn't you have checked your airline's web site for their carry-on dimensions and compared it to the case, just to make sure it would fit, before you bought it? It would have REALLY sucked if it didn't fit...
