DRONEGEAR has used the DJI inspire 2 drone since it’s release in November of 2016 and are still using it on a weekly occurrence for various productions worldwide. An important piece of gear you can’t work without as a professional aerial cinematographer is a solid drone case.
As working drone pilots, we need a sturdy case to get our gear from location to location safely. We’ve flown drones in Patagonia, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Norway, Australia and New Zealand as well as all over the United States for various film productions. I can safely say I’ve thoroughly tested the Pelican flight line series DJI inspire 2 case.
When out in the field flying for a client, I use the top of the case to set up the drone if I don’t have my Inovativ cart handy. Recently in Utah for a Honda Talon commercial, we used our Pelican case as a mobile work station. Here, we utilized the top of the case to launch the inspire 2 when in sandy/desert locations to prevent dust from covering the lens and drone.

What I love about Pelican is that after 10 years of being a customer my cases are all still in working order. You’re hard pressed to find much these days that lasts more than 3 years.
Since buying my first case for my custom hexacopter drone when I first started in the film industry in Sydney, Australia, Pelican has been the industry gold standard.
In this line of work we need reliable cases that will get our equipment safely to wherever the job is.
Here’s the full review video below with the breakdown of all the features of what to expect in this case.
