Hey guys, complete newbie here. I recently ordered a Holy Stone HS300 as my first drone, and have 2 questions I would like some assistance with:

Firstly, I can't seem to find a case online. I found a Holy Stone case on Amazon, but according to Holy Stone'S customer assistance people it doesn't fit the HS300. Does anyone know of modular interior cases or bags I could check out?

Secondly, we are flying to Thailand on Air Asia in January, and I can't find anything specific on drones on their flights. They only mention that lithium batteries are banned, but then specifically mention "hoverboards... and similar equipment". Surely they can't ban any and all lithium batteries, surely you can fly with cameras, laptops etc that have lithium batteries.

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Hobby king did an alley case it is for the phantom but it's easy to cut the foam to fit another shape you can ever fit the transmitter ,batteries etc all in the case and you don't need to remove the props
Take a look it may fit

I use Pelican cases for just about anything I want to protect. They are indestructible (unlike those cheap aluminum cases)
and waterproof and shockproof and vented (you want that for traveling by flying). They come in an amazing variety of sizes
and are absolutely the best cases made for serious protection of whatever is in them. Make sure you opt for the foam padding
that's inside and not just the empty case. The foam is in three layers, a solid top (in the lid) and bottom layer with a middle layer
that's partially pre-cut into cubes that you pull out to make the outline of whatever items inside are being protected. You can literally
put expensive, fragile equipment in them then toss it out a second story window and not harm the case or equipment inside. I know because
I've actually done exactly that as a demonstration to a customer of mine before ... lol ...We used to mount our custom electronics equipment
in those cases using their flat panel adapter kits ... the customer was asking about the durability of our equipment and the case it came in,
so we chucked it out the window right in front of him then walked outside, opened the case, and fired it up with not even a scratch on anything.
(No I don't work for nor represent Pelican in any way, just been an avid user of their products for about twenty years) ;)
As far as the lithium batteries go, just put them inside "lipo bags" then put those inside the Pelican case with the quad and don't worry about it.
They'll probably not even inspect the case much beyond popping it open and seeing a cool quadcopter and then closing it back. BUT IF THEY BALK
about them at all just say they're the "special safe types like in cell phones or computers" and that should allay any fears they may have. :p
