After 6 months, Rotor Riot backpack V2 my new daily driver 

rip n dippin really does provide the best experiences, quick stop on a road trip with a nice view.. cant beat it.

I have 0 need or interest in a backpack. Here I am watching cuz Bardwell lol

I got the V2, I've owned several very high end military type bags as I used to travel and contract for varies government agencies. So I've put bags through the ringer. With that Said. This bags quality blew me away. This is up there with some of my $500+ bags. I was kind of shocked it was so cheap. I realize for some 200 isn't cheap but compared to the gear in used to buying.. this was cheap and better quality than most of the stuff I owned. Deff impressed. Agree 100% daily driver worthy. RR killed it on this one.

The rip and dip pocket with the partial velcro issue.... if they would put 2 feet from the platform/separator to the bottom of the bag it would create support without taking space. Just keep the feet thin and in the two corners of the bag on that side🤜🤜😎💪..... hope they consider that in the future bag

Fantastic looking bag indeed, Joshua! 😃 Thanks a bunch for the review and long term analysis! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Can you make a video on best practices for traveling with drones and batteries? Sound like you understand the process and could provide some valuable insight as normal!

Awesome review, Joshua. Thanks for taking the time to share it. :)

Love my RR Backpack V2

Received my RRBP v2 last week and love it. I wanted a backpack that could hold as much of my gear as possible. I had been using two bags, one for my DJI equipment and the (RDQ Bag) for my FPV gear. I have managed to fit my Mavic 3c, Mini 2, Radiomaster Tx16s, batteries, Gens Ace imars dual charger, and necessary flight peripherals into this bag. Good sir Bardwell is spot on with his analysis here. Could almost fit a mini fridge in this bag. I did end up removing the Rotor Riot patch from the front of the bag. Removing that stitching releases the molle strap where the patch was for additional functionality. Definitely good stuff and I love the blue accent.

I've had the V1 for almost a year now and it was definitely one of the best investments I've made in flying FPV. Not only is a great on the go but when I'm not messing with my quads it keeps all my gear in one organized place. Have not had any complaints about it, and I actually don't mind the V1 front zipper as you can still just fold it out from the bottom and have the back open simultaneously. The fully enclosed laptop pouch is definitely very nice but I have found that I have so much gear now that I take a separate smaller backpack that just has things like my laptop, phone charger, external SSDs, etc.

Buddy has the V1. the strap broke not that long after owning it. they did replace it and AFAIK the 2nd one has been solid.

I just bought this bag, believe it or not, I woke up this morning thinking how cool would it be if Joshua made another video of this bag...... wish granted 😆👍

I’ve had the v1 for 8 months and it’s been fantastic. Holds everything and has held up to serious abuse, riding on a Surron off-roading, air travel, riding my off-road skateboards, etc. I was really happy to get this bag and toss my iFlight garbage bag, well into the garbage. The Velcro failed in a matter of a month or so, zippers failing, etc. HUGE disappointment! Great job Rotor Riot on making a fantastic bag. Great coverage on this bag and the v2 JB.

got the V2 and gotta say i love the teal. but then again teal is my favorite color....

Could you go through what you have inside you everyday carry? Tools and hardware you like to take with you?

I love it.. just got it with the hardshell lipo bag. The top for my tango 2 is perfecr. I have set the diveders in an angle. That way it hold down the controller. So even if you would hold the bag upside down. It will keep the gimballs perfect. 1 thing I really had to change. Notice how everyone picks a hd zero or analogue goggle for the rip n dip. A goggle v2 is not great in taking in and out the side pocket. At leqst not when vertical tucked away. For me I had to change it up. So now when you open the backpack it is like a square. And I covered it up. It now holds my cinelog25 v1. And beneath the divider foam I have the goggle v2 wich now gets in and out easely via the side pocket. But thats more of a dji thing to make a big ass goggle.

I still use my OG Lowepro Quadguard x3 I bought back in 2019 I think. I've outgrown it but still stuff what I need in it. I don't have room for my Taranis so I carry it separately in the case it came with along with my V2 goggles (also in their case) in a second backpack. It's a hassle but it works. A backpack of this type would consolidate everything. It would be heavy but probably the same weight as both at the end of the day.

I bought a military backpack. I use battery straps with the molle to hold my drones. On the sides of the backpack it’s wide. If I rip and dip I keep the controller on my neck.

The teal area seems like it could be a theft target too. It kind of signals something of value is in that pocket.

probably make a good camera bag as well.

Hi! Can you share the link of the gray bags where you store your pens and tools please? Thanks!

Great review and the packs look fairly decent. I really like the rip and dips, and the radio placement, BUT I strongly suspect that opening the front panel with the quads on it will be a PITA of you carry more than 2 quads or quads over 5". I suspect the quad's will have to be placed reasonbly carefully to make sure that when you open the front panel to the side the arms/props aren't sticking into the side of the pack. If they are sticking out then opening the front panel to the side will be difficult. This will be exacebrated for people like me who fly 6" or 7". I've just returned from a session today with 2 x 6" and 1 x 7" (and a little Diatone 2.5" inside) Conversly if you are careful you may find you end up with all the quads packed with a bias to the right (as you face the rear of the pack) which may not be great for balance. I am currently using the old Quadgaurd BP2 and on the way home I was thinking about this issue. The idea I came up with is a totally detachable back. I have - or maybe had - I haven't seen it for a while - a military pack where the inside had a semi flexible sheet covered in molle that you can remove from the pack. It just has a pile of velcro all over the back of the removable sheet. The idea was you could cover the internal panels molle with molle pouches and then rip it out to use or to be able to reasily replace it with another preconfigured panel for a different task. You could do the same thing on the outside of the pack, but in addition you have a couple of side release buckles ("fastexes") on each side edge and the top edge - or maybe just he top edge. The idea being that you just unclip the side release buckles and then you can rip the whole panel off quands and all and put it where you want. At the end of the session, you re-attach the panel and then re-attach the quads. With this approach you can still swing the (emovable) back panel to one side or to the top depending on the situation by leaving some of the side release buckles attached if you want.

Wait I just bought the iflight.. damn and this seems nice

I have V1, my only complaint is the black interior, I lose so many random things like antennas screws all things black, just to find them days or weeks later right where they should be ha maybe a lighter color option interior on V3?

Looks good, but I am not sure I want the whole weight of the bag resting on the laptop, even with the protective envelope. I would prefer the laptop part to come away with the outer part holding the quads - much less weight on the laptop...!

Do you leave your quads outside the bag on planes? Isn't it too thick then? Do props pose a problem at security? So far I put them in the checked bag

17:30. Covering the logo? I would say it could be the perfect place for an additional compartment whose cover IS the logo.

What is the dimensions of the transmitter space on top ? Because my radio for palm tests and so is quite large

One big oversight with allot of FPV backpacks is those who design them assume I don't need food or drink... To me, an FPV backpack is for when I'm walking away from my car to get to a cool site... so room for a drinks bottle and a sandwich would be a good move!

I think the v2 is the right backpack for me but there are a few things I don't like about it, like the turquoise and the fact that the interior is all black, it should be a lite color like silver and the last thing is that bottom, i think that it should be a thick rubber

They need a built lipo charger in bag with a metal enclosure. and pre made pouches with usb routing ( USB C A 100w 8x) battery bank for USB (fast), goggles transmitter,laptop etc. Needs very quick access to plug in to charge the backpack bank itself. I would highly consider it then.

Controller not in the main compartment?! We have so much room for activities!!

Any lipo charger you carry in backpack?

Do you think the bottom of the v2 will hold up better?

dhl shipping to my country in europe is almost as much as the backpack itself (excluding vat:). Anywhere we can find it in europe?

Is it worth it getting an fpv backpack, I just shove my quadcopters into an old school bag and it works fine.

If you ever wanna get rid of that little flir camera, lemme know lol. I was surprised to see that.

How do you carry so many pointy things inside a plane cabin? They only allow ponty things in cargo compartment.

Why have you never tried the ThinkTank FPV bag. I have had it for 7 years and never had a problem. Open from the front with a laptop pouch as well and plenty of straps on the front for quads. Seems like everything you are not liking on this bag is resolved with the ThinkTank. Let me know Josh and I will be happy to show you my setup.

Are there slots in the bag so I can hook it up to a luggage handle ?

Would you use this bag as carry-on (drones inside?) for traveling on a plane?

I had the Iflight bag for 2 years then moved to the v1 version of this bag and I really don't like it. The computer compartment is to small and tight you can't fit the charger in the same compartment and I broke 2 screens in that bag in 6 months. I ran the I flight bag for 2 years with the same computer and never had an issue. There is a little more room but I find that I never use the quick access I just open it up. The side pocket is also way to tight to put anything in if you put a gopro or anything thicker than a credit card it is a pain to zip it closed and everything gets crushed. I put 3 sets of props in that pocket and they all came out bent. Honestly I think I'm going to buy another iflight bag when I can afford it.

LOL rip n dip while unpacking gear from 3 separate compartments and handling a quad buckle.

I'm one of those weirdos that doesn't feel comfortable slinging my backpack around with quads exposed on the outside. Any options in the market to solve this? Just get another backpack?

Omg, dropped that huge batt on top of the laptop screen 🙈🙈🙈

Hi Joshua! I'm about to buy rotor riot 5 inch kit 6s. should I buy dji or walksnail?

Thank you for the video! 😊 And thank you for supporting Ukraine ❤ Did you put the flag there ? 😁

Thank you from Ukraine ❤

Damn it. Damn it damn it.

Why no "quadcopter" counter? 😏

...I must be the only one who absolutely LOVES the teal outline on the V2!

So...iFlight bag. Gotcha.

Oof, that teal is almost a non-starter. I really dislike 'over-branding' on everything. Too bad they don't offer it without teal trim.

I saw this guy flying a 03 can't remember what drone it was but he was using his laptop screen directly to view as he fled, I was wondering how to do so, anyone ?

w vid

Id rather the V1 tbh

Hey Mr. Bardwell, could u please do me a favour and say "Hi, iam Joshua Bardwell and u are going to wake up today!" for me? Iam in desperate need of a new alarm ringtone.

Great bag, but the branding and blue killed it for me. Please just take our money, but don't force your branding on us Rotor Riot

200$ for a backpack?

Stop throwing stuff around. LOL.

Great video! I'm not a fan of the raised skull at all. I use a torvol now but would switch to this v2 if they came out with a more subtle unbranded version.

I have a question, for how much can I start in fpv with a 5" drone ? I don't have any stuff.

Bag full of sharpies most egotistical bag in all of FPV 😂

first view

Daily driver? like you go out and fly further than around the house daily? confession,.....

This bag is overrated
