If you want a hard case, I would recommend the one from MCM below; about $55-60 shipped. It has 3 layers of foam that you can customize to fit your drone; plenty of room for batteries, charger, 9.7" tablet, and other accessories. You can keep the props on but it's a snug fit.

I've seen this but I guess I am also debating if I should get a backpack format.
Ultimately, having a robust travel case as well as a backpack would be ideal. They both have their pros and cons. It all depends on what purpose you need the case/pack to serve.
IMO, decide how and where (generally speaking) you'll be flying your Phantom and get the pack/case that makes the most sense.
*lots of pockets for random supplies and accessories is a bonus*
FWIW, I started with a hard case (Nanuk 950) and eventually picked up a backpack (GPC) as well. They're both fantastic options and they each have their own strengths.
Good luck!
Funnily enough I have just ordered one of those. I want to go up onto the local hills and it looks odd lumping a 'suitcase' up there, but everyone has backpacks. I feel better just blending in.
Thanks for the info. By the look of it I have made the right choice.
I also intend to get one of those steel case type ones for storage and taking along to events etc.

Does anyone own one of the above or similar? I mean a steel or aluminium case?

I agree fully. While I love my hard case there are times I'm hiking to that perfect spot where lugging around a hard case on a trail of some sort is a total PITA! I have yet to buy a backpack for mine but it's in the wish list. The hard case is great for travel everywhere outside of a hike.

I went for one of the LowePro DroneGuard things. Seemed ideal to just chuck on the back seat of the car. But keeping an eye on this thread for a Roller case for sure.

If you look at my posting a couple of items back the link at the bottom is for a roller case.

I have this mod for my controller, similar to your's. Would the Nanuk 950 work for me or is there another case that would fit it? I thought about just a regular backpack to fit everything into. PHANTOM 3 STANDARD ADVANCED ANTENNA KIT INCLUDES PRIORITY SHIPPING

Go pro case will work as well the thing to do is make sure your controller stands up in case.case must be at least 10 or 11 inches deep.if you have the itelite antenna mod it will be fine

The mod I have is like itelite, but I also have the 5Ghz antenna that adds 5-6 inches. http://nebula.wsimg.com/obj/M0I3MTY...4MjUzMmNjNzA5YjBiZDAyOWI3NGM4YzU1MzA6Ojo6OjA=

Here is my phantompak. Well, it's a product of my company now but the original motivation was from a trip I took In Africa in 2014 w/ my P2. I had a hard time putting all my range extending antennas, prop guards, harness, charger, and the drone itself into a carry-on luggage. I was so pissed off so when I got back to the states I started to design my own backpack. The idea is to put as much as stuff in a backpack. Almost all the cases/packs out there use pre-cut foam core, which really wasted a lot of room. So what I did was to use "divider" walls kinda like the stock paper core. The walls are made of EVA and also work as structural support. Took me almost a year to get the final product. We've been making motorcycle touring luggage for 10 years and all the knowledge and resource made this possible. It'll fit all phantoms 1 to 3. Check it out. It's probably the most accommodating one out there. EVA shell and all.
Well come on in, to the forum and Phantom family.DJi's Hardshell Backpack - Came as part of the gift, so trying it out for awhile to see if it meets my needs.
Just wanted to advise if you don't already, to place the cinch strap under the radio controller antennas, before you buckle her down.
I even run mine under the metal handle out back. Seems to fit best that way. Are you storing your iPad or other device, under the back/lid foam, during travel, too? Pretty handy for their simple storage system and near distant travel companion, what these hardshell backpacks turned out to be. I just love mine for its comfort & convenience of travelling light, especially while out on a rYde with my awesome SpYder RS-S. ;-)
What more could a poor boy desire? Ha
