Myself and others have discovered that a simple, "drone only" case for the Anafi is nowhere to be found online. I was determined and came up with the following DIY. Enjoy!

I found this case for just under $12USD:

1. The case comes with a custom formed interior made for a different product.
Use a utility blade to cut along the top edge of the interior *** be careful not to cut through the shell.

2. I re-lined the inside with spongy shelf liner; avoiding the ends because it’s already pretty snug lengthwise.

3. To keep the drone from moving around I added foam pads to the sides to hold the “legs” in place.

4. Sealed the edges of the liner with hot glue.
I found a piece of black foam padding to replace the (found) green foam padding.
Used the green foam to create a bed for the gimbal, and a gimbal lock for good measure.

5. As snug as a bug in a rug.

The pix are numbered to follow the text and since and I’m taking pictures, I’ve included pix my kit (and caboodle).
