Know before you buy
Yes, the main compartment is specifically sized to accommodate 7-inch propellers, keeping them protected and flat while you are in the field.
The pocket is lined with a specialized material that shields your phone from radio frequency interference. This is particularly useful for FPV pilots to prevent signal noise or interference when your phone is stored near your radio transmitter.
The side pouches are designed to hold multiple 1500mAh 6S batteries securely. They provide quick access during a flight session without needing to dig through the main bag.
The bag features adjustable, detachable J-hook straps that allow you to distribute the weight evenly across your torso. While comfort is subjective, the modular design lets you switch to a fanny pack or shoulder satchel if you prefer a different weight distribution during long flying sessions.
Yes, the integrated MOLLE system on the rear allows you to attach additional pouches or accessories that are compatible with standard MOLLE webbing, giving you full control over your setup.
Yes, the underside pouch is detachable, allowing you to strip the bag down to a slimmer profile or remove it entirely if you don't need the extra storage for walkie-talkies or larger battery packs.
