Cardboard Box Checked Baggage United

Possibly a little overkill, but you can be certain your drive is well protected. I used this on a recent trip to Alaska, and the United baggage handlers couldn't break it.

Look to be secure and convenient locks if my case has to be checked as baggage.

This is my first Benro monopod, but thus far very impressed. Light and small enough to fit in my checked baggage.

This is a very solid and secure case that should protect my gear well while traveling, even if it should have to be checked as baggage.

The dimensions allow this to go by air as checked luggage. Dimensions for airline consideration are 18 x 24 x 32. This is a total of 74 linear inches -- this is technically oversize (United Airlines will accept items up to 115 linear inches, but charges an extra fee for anything over 62 linear inches), but at least it can accompany as checked luggage. I removed the extendable handle to save weight - this reduced the case weight by 4 pounds, which I needed to do to get my equipment plus case weight under 100 pounds (the limit that United will accept).

Excellent price / value mix.. Strong and yet light, May not be best for shipping or as checked baggage but great for protecting your equipment under normal use.

If you travel with your tripod, this bag is substantial enough for checked baggage based on my experience. Worth it.

I used this to protect a Canon 16-35 mm lens that went through airport checked baggage. No problems whatsoever. The lens hood has to be reversed to fit in the case. The extra desiccate packs that are included are a nice touch.

For the price of this drone its silly not to protect it. This is a solid case that I would be comfortable using for shipping my drone as checked baggage. This is solid and the price was very good.

I needed a hard-shell solution for my tripod, especially as checked baggage for air travel. The HPRC did the trick. It arrives with some assembly required: the interior padding and security straps need to be installed. Fortunately, it’s easy enough to do this, because the instructions that are packed with it are printed in a microscopic font size. The exterior is tough and well-built. The case holds up to travel and includes tabs for TSA locks. I definitely trust this case to stand up to the rough handling from airline baggage systems.
