Have one extra battery? Pick out a slot for it. Have 6 spare batteries? You can customize the foam to securely hold all of them. Maybe you want a place for your landing pad, your extra props, and your charger. As long as you choose the right size case, you can fit almost anything in its own custom secure spot.
