Lowepro Launches Protective and Customizable Quadcopter Drone Storage System
Modular System Expands on Company's Offerings to Provide Trusted Solutions for All Photographers
PETALUMA, Calif., April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Lowepro, the leading maker of photography carrying solutions, today announced the DroneGuard Kit™, a grab-and-go quadcopter drone storage system. Combining organization, portability, customization and protection into a singular flexible and modular design, Lowepro's DroneGuard Kit is trusted to take professional photography above and beyond with a tighter, more customizable fit than other quadcopter drone storage solutions on the market. Kits are now available online for purchase at http://www.lowepro.com in the United States and Canada, with wider product availability in the coming months.
"The Consumer Electronics Association predicts that the global drone market will reach at least $1 billion by 2018, yet there still remains an unfulfilled need for protective carrying solutions for this valuable equipment," said Tim Grimmer, vice president of brand and product at Lowepro. "We developed the DroneGuard Kit to give photographers a highly organized, customizable and transportable solution, offering trusted security that only Lowepro products can provide."
Created to complement the X-shape of many popular drones, such as the DJI Phantom 1™, the DJI Phantom 2™, the DJI Phantom 3™ and other similarly sized quadcopters, the DroneGuard Kit is a system of lightweight dividers and pockets to easily store and carry all parts of a complete kit. An ultra-portable tray with grab handles, built with a rigid, durable base and honeycomb interior, provides a foundation for the kit and doubles as a work surface, while retention straps offer security. Modular components include a battery box with adjustable dividers, drone sidewalls with slash pockets and a remote/transmitter divider, trusted to keep all equipment safe, organized and within easy reach when storing, transporting or on location. An elastic loop system enables organization of blades, cords, tools and more. Zippered side pockets serve as additional storage for essentials such as manuals, cables and extra cameras, while providing overall support and protection.
The DroneGuard Kit is priced at $99.99 US MSRP, or can be purchased in a bundle with a hard case, the Hardside 400 Drone, for $319.95 US MSRP.
