PolarPro Launches New Drone-Specific Backpack and Lens Filters
Today, PolarPro, a manufacturer of professional-grade accessories for action cameras, drones and smartphones, announced it has redesigned its lineup of drone accessories to accommodate the new DJI Phantom 4 model quadcopters while also launching the purpose-built Drone Trekker backpack ideal for transporting the drone and all its necessary accessories. More information on the full line of updated drone accessories and the Drone Trekker, can be found here: https://www.polarprofilters.com/collections/phantom-4-accessories.
“As adoption of consumer-level drones such as DJI’s Phantom line continues to grow, users are continuing to push the limits of this evolving technology and looking to take their drones to new heights to get the shot,” said PolarPro CEO, Jeff Overall. “As avid drone pilots ourselves, the entire PolarPro team is constantly thinking of new tools and accessories that we’d love to see come to market, and we’re always stoked when drone flyers find the same passion in their work as we do.”
All New Drone Trekker Backpack
The purpose-built PolarPro Drone Trekker backpack (MSRP $129.00) was designed for the traveling drone pilots who need to take their Phantom 2, Phantom 3 or Phantom 4 just about anywhere. Whether trekking through frozen glaciers or just down to a family beach party, the Drone Trekker provides a comfortable, durable and flexible carry solution for any excursion.
The main compartment of the Drone Trekker is accessible through the rear panel of the pack to keep the padded back panel out of the dirt and mud when on location. The central compartment was custom designed to hug the contours of the Phantom body, while providing plenty of pockets in which to stash a remote, extra props, batteries and charger. The interior pockets are infinitely configurable, so the Drone Trekker can be quickly refit to haul a full DSLR camera kit when not on a drone mission. With its padded laptop sleeve, capable of holding up to a 13 inch device, the Drone Trekker is ready for any adventure.
Constructed from lightweight yet durable material, the Drone Trekker shoulder straps were designed to be both ergonomic and form-fitting in order to alleviate common pressure points for all-day comfort. Additional Drone Trekker features include:
- Pockets galore with two mesh pockets, a zippered side pocket, and compact pockets along the waste strap to accommodate extra lens filters or accessories
- An external tripod mount
- Lightweight rain cover shell which stows in a removable stash pocket
- A TSA-approved combination lock to protect the main compartment from unwanted snooping
- Dimensions: 19 x 13 x 9.5 inches to meet most airline carry-on restrictions
- Limited lifetime warranty
