The folks at Polar Pro reached out to me recently. The company has a backpack that's supposed to be a great way to carry your drone while you're out on your content creation adventures. It's the Drone Trekker backpack.
When they asked me about my drone, I told them I didn't have a DJI drone as I know Polar Pro works closely with the popular DJI drone brand regarding accessories. I'm a proud owner of the Autel Robotics X-Star Premium drone. I told Polar Pro they could send the backpack anyway since the DJI Phantom 3 and 4 drones are pretty similar to my drone in square inches.
This is a pretty nice bag. It's definitely big enough. It comfortable and it looks like a typical camera backpack. Not a big "secret service" pack. I was able to pack my drone and drone accessories without any issue as well as other items that I need for my photo walks such as cables and filters.
I love all the pockets and interchangeable slots allowing you to fit your items inside to your liking. If you only want to carry a DSLR, this bag works great for that as well. The one thing I didn't like was the lack of dedicated propeller storage. A lot of drone bags have slim slots to slide propellers inside. The Drone Trekker does not. It's OK, but I like the slim slots better.
I even challenged myself to pack as much as I possibly could into the Drone Trekker. I was able to pack:
1 15-inch laptop
1 wacom tablet (Intous)
1 wired mouse
1 DSLR body
2 DSLR lenes
1 DSLR power supply
3 DSLR batteries
1 lav mic
1 intervalometer
2 drone batteries
8 drone propellers
1 pair of wired earbuds
1 hot shoe flash
1 hot shoe shotgun mic
1 Zoom H1 audio recorder
multiple SD cards
4 ink pens
1 tripod
1 small notepad
1 drone power supply
1 Autel Robotics X-Star Premium drone body
That's a LOT of items. It was totally overkill on my part, but it's nice to know I could safely and comfortably pack these items. You can get the Drone Trekker backpack for $129.99. I appreciate them sending this out to me. This bag is pretty sharp and a nice price considering the space and security. (Yeah there's even a TSA lock on it)
