Hey there! I bought the flymore combo while on my travels and I'm finding carrying the bag AND the box a little cumbersome! So I kind of want to ditch the foam box. Anyone advise against this for any reason? Or most people never use it? Thoughts please! [emoji16]
Keep the foam box? Yay or nay?

I put both the foam box and FlyMore bag in a rucksack. The foam box protects the Spark pretty well so I figured why get rid?

I bought this waterproof case on Amazon for $35.00 WELL worth it.

I have, that's what I figured I'd do. Just seemed a shame to throw it but also seems daft to drag it around now.
Keep the foam box in case you need to return it to DJI for whatever reason. Otherwise, the combo bag works just fine without it.

Yes for sure keep it and use it. Although I do have a solid case I'd rather stick the foam box in a bag it's easier
I guess the question is more is it unwise to get rid of it as I don't really have room for it anymore. Of course I'd keep it if I had the spare space.

I use my foam box in my camera bag. As a photographer always searching for the perfect bag (yeah, the holy grail!). I grabbed a small Lowepro back back that I wasn't using, and made it my carry bag.
I put the Spark, (with battery attached) two batteries and extra props in the foam box and it goes in the bottom with a divider over it. The remote with OTG cable goes in the left over inside space and filters, ear buds, prop guards on top. USB cable, flight log book and pen, cleaning cloths in zipper pockets along with FAA card and printout of city ordinance (in case a LEO doesn't know it's OK to fly in city park.) There's a zipper compartment on front of cover that I carry my ipad Mini, the battery charger and a power pack w/ cable. The bag itself is not huge but carries everything I need.
The back pack is 15 years old and works fine for me.
YMMV.

I still keep my foam box. Ist much saver to bring spark in it. Beside im using car to move from one place to another.
Or if i go travel to a long distance place, i''ll keep using the box.
I use the bag if the distance is pretty close from home. Stil nor 100% feel secure with the bag.

Interesting replies i expected more people to do away with the box and the Flymore bag seems pretty sturdy to me when its fully packed. I'll try and hang on to the box as long as i can i think!
In my personal opinion for traveling the foam box protects the gimbal well. I'm not a huge fan of doing gimbal adjustments when I'm trying to take photos, so the least resistance I can put on the gimbal the better.

Ditch the bag. Batteries are alot hardier than replacing the gimbal while you're travelling

Ditch the flymore bag? Thats the last thing im doing its great haha. I have a decent gimbal protector so not so worried about that.
Yea that's great if you have the room. You probably haven't don't much international traveling, if you did you would know how much saving space is important.

Ive been backpacking for 3 years now
and the flymore bag is as small as the foam box but it fits more inside so a better space saver in my pack. Im just carrying around the empty foam box at the moment.
