Scan comfortably while walking and keep Hovermap secure when traveling with our hard case backpack. With a tough, water-resistant polypropylene shell, the backpack provides external mounting and power for Hovermap. The ergonomic back pad is made of fast-drying antibacterial foam. It has been designed to be thicker in critical areas, such as the shoulder blades and lumbar, to provide the precise level of required support and protection. The adjustable shoulder and side straps are made of soft air mesh to allow for comfort and quick moisture evaporation. Four extra strong side loops have been molded to allow additional accessories to be attached.

Inside, the backpack includes a custom-cut foam liner with room for accessories and battery storage (suitable for V-mount style batteries up to 45 mm high).
