So I thought I would do a little review of the Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom shoulder bag that comes bundled within the “Fly More Kit” when you order the new Mavic 2 Series drones from DJI. Now, this is for 2 reasons, first I show how to pack the bag and demonstrate how all gear that comes with the Mavic 2 Pro Fly More Kit does indeed fit nicely in the bag and also to allow people to take a closer look at it before they commit to buying the fly more kit.
Like many others, I was a little disappointed with the Bag that came with the Mavic Air, I was not a fan of the material they picked and really disliked the weird pocket on the back that wrapped around the sides. I was functional but the design was a little off for my taste. However this is definitely not the case with the Mavic 2 shoulder bag, my first impressions of it were that it looked very sharp and functional. It somewhat similar to the original Mavic Pro bag but with some changes to the interior and exterior. The material they used is a nice choice, a dark charcoal grey that has a rubbery feel to it. On the exterior, it has a small pocket on the top flap and 2 large elastic mesh pockets on the side. You can jam a lot of gear inside these pockets.
The interior of the bag has 2 large cavities and one side has a nice divider that folds up out of the way when packing or if you prefer just to have the two sides wide open. DJI Stated that you can pack everything from the fly more kit including 4 batteries total and yes I can confirm this to be true. If you don’t need to pack your car charger or charging brick/hub when you head out to fly you could definitely pack even more batteries.
I tried to find out on DJI’s website but could not find any information about if it is water resistant. However due to the material and all the zippers having a special cover flap I would safely say that the bag is indeed splash proof and weatherproof, just don’t go submerging it in water. One concern that I do have is that the drone has to sit with the camera facing down in the bag to fit properly. I would prefer it the other way up but with the gimbal cover on I don’t think it will be an issue. After all I will not be playing football with the drone bag. Even with a hard drop, I am confident the aircraft and camera will be fine.
All in all, I really like this shoulder bag, I think it is functional and looks great. I like it so much I ended up ordering a second one for my Mavic Air. I think if DJI would create a drone backpack modeled around this design of this shoulder bag it would be a big hit and I would definitely buy that as well
The DJI Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom shoulder bag can be purchased as a single item or included with the “Fly More Kit”
