Hi there,
There's one issue with the parrot, that you can't see in my other videos, as it is not related to flying. Instead it has to do with taking the Disco to the flight area...
Let's face it, the Disco, despite the fact that it gets split in 3 pieces, still is much larger than almost any quad copter the size of the bebop or the phantom. Along with the rest of components you need for a flight, such as Skycontroler, mounts, cables, batteries, etc. making them all to fit within one single case is not an easy task.
I am aware that the manufacturer of the Disco offers a case, but from what I have seen I decided not to get this, and instead build my own.
The original case, which is more similar to a back pack actually, is a little soft, and does not offer as much protection as I would personally like to.
Also it may have slots for the SC and the FPV goggles and of course the Disco and the wings, but the fact that there are no slots for the rest did not satisfy me...
Another issue that moved me away from purchasing it is the fact that I would not feel comfortable to load it on a plane with the rest of the luggage. Recently I visited a beautiful Greek island called Santorini, and of course I went by plane. The scenery there is amazing, but I would hesitate to take the Disco with me in that case.
Last but not least, I personally think it is too much money for a carrying bag... Other manufacturers offer a hard case with the drone upon purchase within the drone's selling price. I mean a carrying bag is not optional accessories for something that is portable...it is a necessity...and the cardboard box is not a bag...
All the above lead me to one conclusion... to BUILD MY OWN HARD CASE... How hard can that be ??
Actually it proved to be really really hard...
You see no one makes such a case, that long or that deep, and also I did not want to build a case with many layers inside.
I hate to go for a flight and take out of the box almost everything, and then having a mess to clean up. I want to have everything in front of me, as if I opening a toolbox.
And guys believe me, hard cases do not come cheap !!!
After a ton of measurements, research, searching online, and a lot of imagination and engineering I managed to finish my 1st prototype !!! And here it is, enjoy !!!
If there are any other Parrot Disco owners that would be interested in getting such a case, please let me know about it, by placing a comment below...
I am thinking of building them upon request, at a very low value considering the built quality, and also the time, thought, shopping time, trial and error money spent in creating the first one, but also considering the fact that I have not yet found another hard case for the Parrot out there...
It will be a little more expensive that the original back pack, but it will be much cheaper than trying to do it yourself like I did, and definitely it will be worth it, believe me...
