I’m looking for a minimal/lightweight case for just the DJI Mini 2 drone. This is for UL hiking where I just need something to protect the drone when chucked into a backpack. The remote is more than study enough to survive without a case but I think I need something a bit more than just prop guards to keep it safe.
Is there anything that is protective of the props and closer to 50g than 100g? Or maybe if not a barebone foam option, just some decent propguards for both sides and a cloth bag?
Appreciate the sarky comments ( ) but I’m looking to lose as much weight and volume as possible. If it’s 200g or 25g that’s worth it to me.
When you’re fastpacking 30-40 km/day with a base weight of 3kg or so, every 10g here or there counts big time in comfort and speed. It’s clearly possible to make a Mini 2 case that’s closer to 50g than 150g so if it exists that what I’d prefer. And why would I choose a 150g one if there is a 50g one available?!
If I have to go with the 150g one, I guess I will reluctantly but I’m 100% interested in saving as much weight as possible.
It’s more that 10g here and there quickly adds up. If say 100g of excess unnecessary weight can be easily saved it’s definitely makes a big difference quickly. Many people take this to even greater extremes…
I prefer my 43g snickers to a 41g mars anyway as it has 20% more calories which also quickly adds up for multiday trips
(btw, when hiking my keys are between 10-27g depending on where I’m going to fly the drone).
Just some foam and the moulded piece it came with. Def a bodge job, second time could make it much neater and could obviously wrap it to look nice. But very happy at 36g total and £0.
Combining this with a 10g DCF dry bag I’ll have a strong and completely waterproof case coming in easily under 50g which is a result in my book!
