Nice bag - thanks for the review. So close to perfect. Needs 2 changes: 1) dual zippers on side compartments as you say 2) the drone storage on the back should be a panel that's hinged at one edge, so you can flip it out when you set it on the ground - therefore backpack is flat, drones are dry/clean, and you have access to everything. Then when time to go, you fold it back together, containing any mess between the 2 halves - best of all worlds
The sad thing is that you basically can‘t get it to europe without paying 40$ shipping and another 50import tax which makes this a 280$ backpack… 😢 would love this but that‘s not a price i am willing to pay
Some things I would've liked to see included in the review: Can you buy additional or replacement straps to strap the quad down? -- Not currently (I checked) Does it come with a battery bag? Is that an option for additional cost? -- Available for an additional 15$ Thank you for the review though. You continue to be my most trusted source for this type of information.
Man, someone has to come up with a backpack for us the urban dwellers. If my drone is visible from outside i'm asking to be mugged. And guards are going to spot me before i can fly.
This looks rad, but for real, but it's the same issue for us backcountry dwellers. We hike and fly a reasonable amount, sometimes you're moving through bush and forest and having quads on the outside is just not ideal. They get hung up on shit and banged against stuff. Also, again, there are some strong attitudes against quads among folks you might find out in the mountains, so keeping things low profile is my preference. I actually have the AuLine bag, and it's super good. It has heaps of space to fit all your stuff inside. I can pack a 5 inch, and an explorer inside, and strap a 7 to the outside if I want to go all out. Plus, it has heaps of room for carrying water and food and even some light layers, like a rain jacket. In top of tools, lipos, gopros etc. And the most important part is that it has a waist strap, for when you're walking for a couple of hours.
I started my FPV adventure in March and just grabbed the cheapest FPV bag on Amazon. Surprise, surprise...I destroyed that quickly. One night, the right strap just...gave up and tore entirely off. Anyway, the following morning when I started shopping...was this bags launch. It was destiny. 😂 I bring this along every time I leave the house because it feels so durable, is quick, easy to grab, and I don't have think about what to grab because it has room for literature everything I've aquired for FPV. I absolutely love this bag. I will admit...the price tag had me a little 'ehhhh', similar to the Torvol I was eyeing. I was honestly getting online to buy a Torvol and my browser was still open to RotorRiot from the night before. I somewhat impulse bought it over the Torvol, but only because it checked all the boxes I was looking for, plus other boxes I wasn't aware I needed checked...and the branding is fantastic - the RR logo pressed into the top, RR logo embroidered on the shoulder strap, and even down to the 'Rotor Riot designed by Let's Fly RC' tag. Awesome bag, and I'm extremely happy with the purchase (so far). Durability permitting, but I have no worries there because it feels so well made. Great job Let's Fly RC and Rotor Riot!
I have just bought this in the UK and it cost me a lot in shipping and import duty. Putting that aside though it’s brilliant. Well made, well thought out and I’m over the moon with it.
Finally a backpack designed the way I like them. I could not justify a purchase for any of the other models, but was actively looking for a quad racing backpack. I pre-ordered it through your affiliate link! Very well done video.
What a good seller. Just a remark: The radio master case comes with no extra money when you buy the tx. The compartment section could be savaged from camera bag. There are always budget solutions. But if you don't want to DIY and have the money sure this bag is a no-brainer.
One thing that is missing. . . A LiPo charging/storage compartment, either built-in or velcro removable. Otherwise the backpack is a backpack called an 'FPV backpack' to sell as a 'FPV backpack' enough to raise the price of a $49.99 backpack to a ridiculous $200 price point FPV bBackpack. Looks like Bardwell needs a Saturday morning spot on QVC.
Why is everyone always trying to lay down backpacks that very clearly were designed to stand…I have the smaller Pyrodrone bag, and use it vertical to load and unload. Nothing gets dirty, don’t have to lay anything on top of aircraft, nothing falls out…? Everyone has their way, rock on and happy flying. I really dig the quick side access and the hard shell at the top.
The Torvol backpack, for one, is designed in a way that makes you have to lay it down, unless you want to hold the flap up the entire time. Other bags? Sure. I'm with you on this. They bother to put hard bottom plates for exactly this reason.

Ordered this bag last night from your link on the flight home from my vacation. My Torvol Mini Explorer pack left shoulder strap started to come off and so did the grab handle after a few days of travel and by the time I got home late last night the right shoulder strap has almost completely separated from the pack. It’s been a good ride with the pack but it’s being replaced with this new Rotor Riot bag! I also have the iFlight pack which I liked in concept but I was constantly trying to figure out ways to get the dividers to stick. The velcro is actually fine because the dividers stick perfectly in the Torvol bag but no velcro would stick to the inner material of the iFlight bag. I should have sent it back immediately but I thought over time it would get better. I’m hoping the iFlight dividers fit well in the Rotor Riot bag because I like the little mesh pockets on them and could put them to use there. Thanks for the great review.
You should point people to the RDQ bag when talking about budget bags, which is $80. I have been using it for nearly 3 years now. It works well, has plenty of room, and has a great warranty(RDQ replaced mine after the shoulder strap got pulled out after a year). It has its flaws, mainly weak Velcro, but it's better than a tacticool backpack for FPV.
I just wish they would come back in stock. I travel ALOT with work. I fly in and out every 3 weeks (3 weeks in Alberta, 2 weeks in NS) and I've been dying to find a good bag that I am comfortable putting my Ethix mambo in. This is the one I think will suit all of my needs and I can bring it on the plane with me no problem. PLEASE, please rotorriot bring in the next shipment. Best part is their " notify when Instock" feature doesn't work. please take my money 😅😢
Nice backpack for the most part. Been using it for about a week. Definitely feels like a step up from the ethix bag. I loved the simplicity, but not the unpacking
And every time you lay the bag down (front or back) you bang your transmitter gimbals into the rigid top. Might be nice to have a retainer strap in that top compartment for the transmitter. There's always another point of view. The whole backpack thing is so subjective. I happen to like my RDQ backpack, but like the old shoes, I've gotten comfortable with it. :)
Bought the iflight and I AM NOT going to change it for many years to come. Serves many areas of my hobby. And don't like 😒 the part of laying that bag on the front side to go in thru the bag . U r 100 percent right ✅️ on only wanting to use one quad.
This bag was designed so well, I absolutely love this bag however I have three from Torvol so unfortunately I am unable to justify purchasing one at the moment. Gardo picked one up and he loves it, Shawn did such a great job!
I'm a year in with the IFlight backpack and still love it. And, I agree about the rain cover that I always forget it's on the bottom LMAO 🤣😂 Great review Bardwell!! Cheers Brother 🍻
Strongly disagree that this is a Torvol clone, unless you're going to call any photo-style bag a Torvol clone. Torvol is front-opening. Torvol does not have separate transmitter compartment. That's just a few examples.
Surely if you’re bringing a new backpack to market, you’d look at what your competitors do well and build that in. The Torvol rain cover packs away nicely into the base, I don’t understand why they’ve not done this, unless it would bump the price of manufacture up too much. I’m happy with the Torvol pro bag, only thing I’d change is raising the bottom strap to give you more clearance, I think you’ve covered this before. I’ve been using it for well over a year and it’s holding up well.
Nice bag I'm still sour my torvol bag zipper broke dividers never stayed after reordering them. So I rock a dsrl Amazon bag now. Sucks for meetups great for daily ripping tho
For anyone interested in an similar alternative to this bag, look up shadow camera back pack. This back pack is just a dslr camera backpack that normally cost $100-$130
The LowePro Pro Tactic 2 is around $200 if you shop around. It is a MOLLE stylecamera bag and it is absolutely PERFECT for FPV! Or camera drones, or photography, or anything else that you have expensive shit that you need to protect. I can fit 3 drones (Avata, Mini 3 Pro, Air 2S) inside and 2 Quadcopters strapped to the outside. (5 inch freestyle) Also holds my GoPro and GoPro Accessories, Shotgun Mic, Wireless Mic, Goggles V2 DJI RC (The one with the screen) , DJI FPV Controller, Radiomaster Boxer, Batteries for all DJI Drones and a bunch of props, tools, and other stuff that I'm sure I'm forgetting. If I wanted to carry my laptop, It would be tight, but it will fit. The only thing I can't fit is lipos, but if I take out the camera drones, then Lipos fit! I added a couple pouches on the outside for various things, which is the beauty of the MOLLE system. And I almost forgot, A full size tripod can be strapped to the bag too! If you want literally the best bag to protect and carry your expensive stuff, ProTactic 2. No I don't have an affiliate link, I just really love my Backpack!
i use a Modular Trooper Pack with 3 velcro fields on the outside from patchpanel canada. i think it is around 120 more. quads outside, rest inside. dont like to unmount props every day of use.
All field packs for gear should open on the back panel like this. That way if you have to lay it in moist grass or something like that, the back and straps don't get wet and nasty when you put it back on to leave.
I had to make the Master of Robots shirts, because Metallica sued me for $500,000. This fair use parody was the least i could do 😂 Get yours at www FlyHighFPV com
If I had that backpack I would rip the bottom of the radiomaster boxer case and use it to keep it in place and safe. My boxer came with that gray case idk if that cost extra but mine came with it
Looks like you can also just have it standing for opening the main compartment... Pretty tempting, really nice discrete style and you're not having one more of the torvol bags at the race XD Not enough to switch from that Torvol tho...
Man, coming from tv and film I was expecting a higher price. Honestly $180 might get you an off-brand Pelican case this size, with foam if you're lucky. Also being a lover of outdoor gear I'm never caught with a substandard pack- and this looks legit. Nice work RR
I have the auline back pack and I might be reaching out to rotor riot to see if they will sale the rotor riot backpack straps separately to replace the auline once because I dropped one of my quads because of the buckles
The outside material is waterproof, but I chose not to use waterproof zippers, because they don’t open and close easy. I provided an oversized rain cover, though
I love your content. FPV backpacks suck imo though. What's stopping everyone from getting a thrift shop back pack for 5 bucks and sewing on drone straps on the back for drone to velcro them on? What if you did a home made FPV diy solution us poor people can afford? Honestly, I'm just jealous, because I can't afford one. ;) This one is actually badass. Probably it would be hard to DIY. The rubber bottom is sweet as well. Noticed the Fly High FPV shirt. That dude makes killer FPV Gopro prints. Good content as well. Good morning, and have a good rest of your day. Mr. Bardwell. Your killing it like usual on your channel.
I don't like backpacks being opened from the back - I know it's more common in camera backpacks. I've front opening backpack and some plastic bag (just in case) in side pocket in order to put backpack on it. Other than that, I love that radio compartment, I wish mine had that.
Looks like a great backpack over all. I sorta worry it doesn't have enough individual storage spots. Currently I use the iFlight and the storage allows me to have a place for everything so I always know where to look. The inside of the bag looks better than the iFlight though. Don't know if its cause it has stiffer walls or what, but it looks like it may be better for fitting more stuff. Was considering buying it and giving my iFlight to a friend who will never spend that much on a back pack even though he's broke the sma plug off a set of goggles cause he uses a soft bag. Good thing he likes fixing stuff LOL. If I do I'll make sure to use the affiliate link. Thank you Bardwell
What I'm missing in all bag reviews is the fitment of radios with a large external module like the radiomaster ranger elrs 2.4GHz module. It's very hard to find a case for the TX16S with the ranger module permanently installed, other then the original foam box (with some mods). I would like to see this in reviews if possible in the future.
wow its in part an infame copy of the pyrodrone sport backpack, wich I have for almos a year. I have to admit, they solve better the radio compartment.
Completely off topic, but I wanted to ask about the remote switch on quads, I don't think I have a way to do it, but I see rc cars use an on/off switch and some speed run byilds pull 600+amps? It's a small switch, and wires, and their on just about every rc car esc, how are they using a switch?
I need a new backpack since my RDQ backpack fell apart after a year. I spent $80 on an Ozark backpack maybe 8 years ago and still it is not ripped or torn. All zippers still work. I carry tools, medications, guns, batteries, all kinds of heavy, sharp materials and I carry it every day. I'm not sure why FPV backpacks can't match this quality.
The only similarity I see is that they both have bungee and straps across the front, and both are back-opening. The Pyro backpack does not have a separate top-opening controller compartment. Its side pocket layout is totally different. Its interior pocket layout is totally different. Pyro has Molle webbing on the sides and a waist strap; RR does not. Etc.
9:35 Part of that paranoia of the sticks/gimbal breaking, comes from peoples experience with Game Console controllers such as PlayStation and Xbox. They All have potentiometer sticks (save for a very few and very new ones that have hall effects) that are prone to issues if you look at them wrong.
The side pocket would be much nicer if the zipper was on top when closed. Is there a reason it was designed to open from the bottom instead of the top? You can put loose change in there so if a pickpocket opens it you get a jingle instead of them reaching their hand in to grab something? :D
Not watched the video but clicked the link to see the price as guessed it would be stupid expensvie and WOW ! Unless its got a built in charger or something I'm missing I'll put it down as a rip off 😂
Comparison shop to other bags of this style, including photography bags, and you'll see the price is pretty normal. This style of bag is expensive to make.
looks realy great. i have only one problem w it price of ship it to my country is way too much bcs its the same price as the price of backpack :( so its litle to much
I'm a fan of the sewn divider. I mean you can cut it if you don't like it but IMO the velcro sags over time and having it sewn will increase durability over time.
I would really like to order it, but I live in Europe, and it estimates my shipping fees would be approximately 150$, so almost as much as the backpack itself. Pretty sad :(
Nice bag - thanks for the review. So close to perfect.
Needs 2 changes:
1) dual zippers on side compartments as you say
2) the drone storage on the back should be a panel that's hinged at one edge, so you can flip it out when you set it on the ground - therefore backpack is flat, drones are dry/clean, and you have access to everything. Then when time to go, you fold it back together, containing any mess between the 2 halves - best of all worlds
I was thinking of the same problem (2), but couldn't come up with a good solution. I agree with yours though :)
OMFG. If I'm reading this right, you may have solved the problem. This might be genious.
The sad thing is that you basically can‘t get it to europe without paying 40$ shipping and another 50import tax which makes this a 280$ backpack… 😢 would love this but that‘s not a price i am willing to pay
exactly, a shame. even a 180 not sure if I am going to pay that.

What if you did a home made FPV diy solution us poor people can afford? Honestly, I'm just jealous, because I can't afford one. ;) This one is actually badass. Probably it would be hard to DIY. The rubber bottom is sweet as well. Noticed the Fly High FPV shirt. That dude makes killer FPV Gopro prints. Good content as well. Good morning, and have a good rest of your day. Mr. Bardwell. Your killing it like usual on your channel.
should compare it to a camera bag.
Looking forward to seeing how it held up later this year. This one seems like its worth the money :)
Hi Joshua, MOLLE is pronounced Molly. Thanks for all the work you do.
Heyyyy looks pretty like the Lowpro tacto 450 swII!!
Can you have this as a carry on? It looks huge
M.O.L.L.E: MOdular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment. Pronounced Molly.
Lol. Oops. I pronounced it “Mole” in my video. Lmao😂
I don't like backpacks being opened from the back - I know it's more common in camera backpacks. I've front opening backpack and some plastic bag (just in case) in side pocket in order to put backpack on it. Other than that, I love that radio compartment, I wish mine had that.
Looks pretty damn good 👍
That's a nice backpack
Looks like a great backpack over all. I sorta worry it doesn't have enough individual storage spots. Currently I use the iFlight and the storage allows me to have a place for everything so I always know where to look. The inside of the bag looks better than the iFlight though. Don't know if its cause it has stiffer walls or what, but it looks like it may be better for fitting more stuff. Was considering buying it and giving my iFlight to a friend who will never spend that much on a back pack even though he's broke the sma plug off a set of goggles cause he uses a soft bag. Good thing he likes fixing stuff LOL. If I do I'll make sure to use the affiliate link. Thank you Bardwell
Hey joshua i have a problem with my drone when i give it full power the drone wobles how can i fix this??
What I'm missing in all bag reviews is the fitment of radios with a large external module like the radiomaster ranger elrs 2.4GHz module.
It's very hard to find a case for the TX16S with the ranger module permanently installed, other then the original foam box (with some mods). I would like to see this in reviews if possible in the future.
nice review man. looks like a great torvol style backpack, also its "molly" webbing
wow its in part an infame copy of the pyrodrone sport backpack, wich I have for almos a year. I have to admit, they solve better the radio compartment.
Completely off topic, but I wanted to ask about the remote switch on quads, I don't think I have a way to do it, but I see rc cars use an on/off switch and some speed run byilds pull 600+amps? It's a small switch, and wires, and their on just about every rc car esc, how are they using a switch?
I need a new backpack since my RDQ backpack fell apart after a year. I spent $80 on an Ozark backpack maybe 8 years ago and still it is not ripped or torn. All zippers still work. I carry tools, medications, guns, batteries, all kinds of heavy, sharp materials and I carry it every day. I'm not sure why FPV backpacks can't match this quality.
Looks exactly as the pyro backpack
The only similarity I see is that they both have bungee and straps across the front, and both are back-opening. The Pyro backpack does not have a separate top-opening controller compartment. Its side pocket layout is totally different. Its interior pocket layout is totally different. Pyro has Molle webbing on the sides and a waist strap; RR does not. Etc.
It is a dealbreaker for me that I can only open it up by laying it on my quads. My $26 backpack from
China doesn’t need that
Nice T shirt
Thanks bud , get yours at www FlyHighFPV com
9:35 Part of that paranoia of the sticks/gimbal breaking, comes from peoples experience with Game Console controllers such as PlayStation and Xbox. They All have potentiometer sticks (save for a very few and very new ones that have hall effects) that are prone to issues if you look at them wrong.
The auline backpack is awesome... anybody got 1?
Its solid as
What is the size of the backplate where you have the molle for mounting the quads?
my RDQ bag works mint
The side pocket would be much nicer if the zipper was on top when closed. Is there a reason it was designed to open from the bottom instead of the top? You can put loose change in there so if a pickpocket opens it you get a jingle instead of them reaching their hand in to grab something? :D
The side pocket does open from the top. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you.
@@JoshuaBardwell Lol, maybe I'm a little inebriated, sorry for the waste of time reading that and even replying 😅
where did you get them sticks on you boxer the stock ones hurts my thumm after a while in the sim
Not watched the video but clicked the link to see the price as guessed it would be stupid expensvie and WOW ! Unless its got a built in charger or something I'm missing I'll put it down as a rip off 😂
Comparison shop to other bags of this style, including photography bags, and you'll see the price is pretty normal. This style of bag is expensive to make.
just imagine how much cost i must pay and send it to me at Indonesia😅😢
can you put a Tango II and a HDZero-Gogglee together into the top compartment?
I think probably yes.
want this bag so bad but shipping cost to australia is $115
link for the tactical military style backpack :) ?
looks realy great. i have only one problem w it price of ship it to my country is way too much bcs its the same price as the price of backpack :( so its litle to much
The price LOL
Get a big enough drone for your body weight. Period. Then soe your back pack to the dronelegs with. Hemp twine wet then dried
Why do so many of these designers put straps over side doors?? Yeah it’s optimal for a tripod but we probably use the door more. Why block the door?
I don’t like how it opens from the back
They could place zippers front and back ) also that sawn divider is meh
I'm a fan of the sewn divider. I mean you can cut it if you don't like it but IMO the velcro sags over time and having it sewn will increase durability over time.
I would really like to order it, but I live in Europe, and it estimates my shipping fees would be approximately 150$, so almost as much as the backpack itself. Pretty sad :(
true we have only option to buy something like torvol or other chinesse backpack where we didn't pay that much for ship
