Blurex Professional Rugged Hard Case For DJI Phantom 2 Vision & Vision + (Plus) Quadcopter

I purchase this case for my DJI Phantom 2 Vision (not plus) in August 2015. I wanted to get a little experience before I wrote this review. I originally had a storage box but needed two hands to transport it. That meant at least two trips from the SUV to the flying site. The Blurex case has a rugged handle that allows one-hand carrying. The other hand is now free for other stuff. A picture is provided so illustrate the storage capacity of this case. You will note four smart batteries, charger with cable, Phantom 2 Vision, Radio Controller, four batteries and Summitlink 7 inch table holder. At the very bottom of the case where the handle is, there is a space of your extra propellers. Without modification, I am using this space for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.0 tablet. It is in a black, sports cases so it's hard to see. I plan to modify the insert for a Summitlink Sunhood and extra propellers. That will be on the right hand side of the case. In reading reviews from others there was a concern about the propellers on the Phantom not clearing the corners of the case. It is tight but if you look hard you will see posts holding the propellers in place. This was cutouts from the insert provided by the manufacturer. I made a white post and it is in the upper left corner nearest the Phantom's body. This is to give the reader perspective. At the bottom of the case where the Phantom gimbal and camera go, there is additional storage for your motor wrench, lanyard, etc.: small stuff. When the top is closed, the contents are held in place very tightly. The items that shift are those at the bottom of the case; no biggie. I only put in this case what I need to fly. All other stuff is in the original storage case that I started out with. I am very happy with this case. If I had to sum up this case in one sentence it would be, "The Little Case that Could".

This case is technically designed for the Phantom 2 but I purchased it for the phantom 3. There were only two slight modifications that I needed to make. First, the landing gear on the Phantom 2 must be slightly closer because I needed to cut some space for the landing gear closest to the remote controller storage side of the case to fit in properly. The next was for the Phantom 3 remote controller itself. I needed to cut a space for the metal bar on the back to fit in (I posted a photo below to show the cut I had to make). This was slightly more difficult that the first cut I had to make for the landing gear but only took me a minute or two. I used a steak knife but you could get more precise with an exacto knife or razor blade. Overall this is a great case for the Phantom 2 or 3. Everything fits very snug and the box seems very durable and even resistant to water. The only other improvement would be a slight larger space for the props. Seems like the only way you can carry two sets is if you have one set on the copter itself. Seems a little unsafe to leave them on while it is closed but I'll give it a shot and see if it travels well with them on.

I have seen others $200.00 plus cases and to me this one is as good or better. In fact some on some of the more expensive cases the lid has to be pushed down hard in order to close which puts pressure on the blades and motors. The Blurex closes with a gentle snug fit without any pressure on the blades or motors. Placing the radio control for the Phantom 2 vision plus in the case is a little tricky but once figured out it is also a nice snug fit.One interesting thing to note is that when I first tried to open the case it wouldn't open, and I almost resorted to prying the top and bottom apart, until something told me to turn the thumb wheel behind the handle in the counter clockwise direction (I'm thinking it was some type of lock). In reality it is a threaded screw that once loosened or remove will allow the case pressure to release, making the top open easily. I only wish there had been some type of documentation to tell me that but there is no documentation of any kind included inside or outside of the case. To me it is still a five star because of quality, but had I damaged the case trying to force it open I am pretty sure the number of stars would be much less.

Each time I look at this thing I think about that old Samsonite commercial where the Gorilla is locked behind bars with a Samsonite suitcase and he is beating the crap out of it (it is very rugged). Only had this for a few weeks but it seems perfect. It is every tough and I would have no qualms taking it on a plane or into harsh environments like jungle or desert. People keep comparing it to the Pelican, but I have never used or seen a Pelican so I have nothing to compare to. This one is great & I have no need to worry about any other cases. For the money, or even for more money you cannot do better. One small issue with the cutout for the controller. It’s very very so snug. So snug that it actually pulls the antenna off its pivot mount as you are putting into the cutout. This is a concern because once the antenna is loose from the pivot, the only thing holding it on is a really thin black wire, which can easily be snagged and broke as you are sliding the remote in. I solved this last night by plucking out just a little bit of the foam around the antenna (problem gone). My final word, don't even think about buying another case this is the one, and the price is right.

Very durable case! Survives rain and snow, TSA shouldn't be able to mess it up(still recommend that you bring it as a carry-on, it fits) also, if you have a DJI Phantom 3 standard, you should definitely get this case. Most cases don't fit the P3S controller, this one does. It has got two holes to put on a padlock, and it is a champion. Tons of space for accessories, (Except Prop Guards) and you can leave the props on! I wouldn't recommend storing it with props on for longer than an hour, it could bend the props, but you can leave them on for short trips. Kinda heavy, but since it's so durable, I don't really mind.
