Best Mavic Air Bags, Cases & Backpacks

Lowepro Droneguard Bags

Lowepro is always leading the pack when it comes to bags for photography gear. So, it is no surprise that they now have a dedicated range for drones called Droneguard.

This is a series of bags, cases, and backpacks that use Lowepro’s flexible packing system, so are very handy for fitting things in. Basically, it is a series of padded walls that have velcro on the ends, so you can adjust and move as you see fit. That means you can adapt to your needs, change what you carry, and fit things in as snug or loose as you like.

I have the CS series for both my Mavic Pro and my GoPros, and can also use them for other things.

There are loads of these bags, and you can explore them all here.

For the moment they do not have a specific Mavic Air case (the exact length of the drone) but when I bought mine for the Mavic Pro, they didn’t either. It does not matter. You can adjust it all perfectly.

The cases come with

• Various sizes & configs (cases, packs, etc)
• Padded adjustable walls and dividers
• A lid to store cables and spare blades
• Further zippers for SD cards and the like

You can see a lot of that in the images I have displayed here, but you have to explore the exact model you want.

For example, you can buy a simple case like the CS150 and throw it in any pack, or you can buy a dedicated bag. Or a backpack that specifically fits the CS cases, with a hole to slide if in (see image). It’s all possible!

Here are some suggestions:

• Dedicated Drone backpack – with hydration sleeve, space for other items (larger version here)
• Lightweight Drone Case – Great for using inside other bags or as a simple carry case
• Bigger backpack with removable drone case – a great option if you want flexibility

Polar Pro Minimalist Case

Polar Pro is another team of experienced drone gear producers, so it’s no surprise to see they are one of the few with a dedicated Mavic Air case at this early stage of the drone’s life.

This is a simple padded softshell case that is custom shaped to fit all the Mavic Air gear, such as:

• Drone & Controller
• 3 x Mavic Pro battery
• Mavic Pro charger
• Hip strap that is able to be hidden away
• Some of the reviewers on Amazon claim this case is not that great, but I am surprised given Polarpros reputation. These same reviewers think the DJI case is a better bet in this case.

Note: The dedicated DJI Mavic Airbag is not currently available separately.

Navitech Mavic Air Case

Another simple carry case to help protect the drone and remote.

This one is not as custom in terms of streamlined shape, but should still be adequate for the drone, controller, and either batteries or charger (not both).

At about the same price as the Polarpro, I would choose that over this lesser-known brand with a slightly less optimized case.

Mavic Air Fly More Combo Backpack

What I like about this backpack/case combo are two things.

• It can fit in everything you need for a great day out with your Mavic Air
• It doubles as a case and a backpack

It fits everything from

• Drone & Controller
• Cables and charger
• 3 Batteries
• Spare blades and a few more things
• It was originally designed for the Mavic Pro, but it should be good to go (according to the manufacturer) for the Air too.

It also doubles as a (maybe not super comfy) backpack as you can see in the image.

So, you can carry it by the top handle, throw it over your shoulder or use it as a back. And given the drone and all the gear does not weigh a tonne, it should be good enough for small hikes to your shooting destination!

Casematix Waterproof Case

If you are after some serious protection for your Mavic Air, this last choice might just be the ticket.

A hardshell case with custom molded hard foam to help protect everything you might need on a drone adventure.

The Drone, Controller, and 3 batteries can all fit super snug and there should be no issue with damage, even if you roll your car (at least that is what I think :>)

This even appears to be reasonably light at 1 lb, more than the case above (which is weird, but maybe the above specs are wrong).
