It truly depends on how much gear you have along side your drone. If you only have the P3 and a few batteries I would stick with the DJI hardshell or the new DJI backpack. This bag is nice if you have a lot of things to bring with you like extra cameras filters etc. Basically if its only the drone i would go with the DJI case, otherwise if you have a lot of gear or plan on bringing other cameras like GOPRO's DSLR, Point and shoots etc then maybe this would be a better option. It truly depends on how much you have with you. Filled I can tell you this bag weighed 15 pounds with all of my gear packed inside.
