Share Tweet Pin Share The HPRC 2700WPHA2 Hard Case for Phantom 2 - Strong, watertight, unbreakableIf you own or are thinking of buying a DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter, you are going to need a case of some sort for transporting it to your flying destinations. Then HPRC came to the rescue (video review below) with the HPRC 2700WPHA2 Hard Case.I would not recommend simply using the backseat, or the passenger seat of your car to lug the Phantom 2 around. At some point, you are going to damage it for sure. When I knew I was going to buy the Phantom 2, I started thinking about accessories and the case was at the forefront of my mind. I saw a couple of DJI Phantom 2 kits where a case was included but they seemed small and some needed the props removing before packing away. I have to admit here that HPRC sent me this case to review for All Things Photography. It is rare that I get free products to review as I mostly tend to review products that I buy. Or, if I like them and think viewers will too, but in this case I accepted. After seeing the images sent to me by HPRC, I knew this case would be quality so I looked forward to receiving it.Honest bitAt this point, I was still undecided as to whether I was going to buy the Phantom 2 or not. I had been researching the necessary costs of flying commercially: £1,260 BNUCs course fees from EUROUSC (x2) for each UAV flown License fees of £75 (payable annually) Insurance (£500-£600 annually)Then add the cost of the DJI Phantom2, H3-3D Gimbal, Go Pro HD Hero 4, super fast and large memory card to cope with 4K footage. It starts to add up at this point.However, when I opened the HPRC 2700WPHA2 case when it arrived, I simply had to fill it with something (or that is what I told the wife ; )I ordered the Phantom 2. When I was able to easily and quickly add the entire kit required for a filming session, I was convinced that:1I had done the right thing by buying the drone2The case was absolutely superb!Dimensions and Weight etcThis case is pretty large but that is the reassuring thing. I am happy to carry this around and throw it in the back of my car knowing that the Phantom 2, props attached, and all the bits including the 7" monitor are all snugly secured inside.DimensionsInternal dimension: 555 x 460 x 256mm (21.85 x 18.1 x 10.08in)External dimension: 620 x 520 x 275mm (24.41 x 20.47 x 10.83in)Lid: 46mm (1.81in)Bottom: 210mm (8.27in)WeightEmpty: 7.55kg (16.65lbs)With foam: 9.07kg (19.99lbs)Temperature RatingMinimum: -40cMaximum: +80c (176f)Will holdcheck Phantom 2 / Phantom 2 Vision / Phantom 2 Vision+check HPRC1100 - protective case to hold 8 MicroSD cards - includedcheck Charger + cables x 1check Set of spare props x 1check Radio Controller with Smartphone Mount and Wi-Fi Range Extender x 1check 3 Additional Batteriescheck iPhone or Galaxy Phone x 1check iPad Mini or Galaxy Tab x 1check Set of spare AA remote batteries x 1check Other small accessoriesIncludedYou get the main case, the superb and solid foam insert and a small HPRC case which will hold up to 8 MicroSD cards.I've used this case on a few occasions now and love it. I feel secure in the knowledge that this expensive and somewhat fragile equipment (especially the props and gimbal), are being well looked after.I also like the fact that the lid will not close when knocked or blown by the wind which could result in a damaged quad or hurt fingers.All in all, this case is excellent and highly recommended to carry and transport your DJI Phantom 2 / Phantom 2 Vision / Phantom 2 Vision+ and yes, I would have bought this case if I hadn’t been sent it already.If you know me, you will know that if I spend a lot of money on kit, I also make sure I get the best cases and bags to look after that kit.For more information, you can either buy this case through:check HPRC 2700WPHA2 at Amazon (US)check HPRC 2700WPHA2 at Amazon (UK)…or go direct to HPRC in Italy:Media contact:elena.marchetto@plaber.comVia Div Tridentina, 10I-36061 Bassano del GrappaVicenza - ItalyTel: +39 0424 809150Fax: +39 0424 808548Web: http://www.hprc.it Panasonic S1/S1R Released Olympus OM-D E-M1X Announced DJI Osmo Pocket Stabiliser
