Drone/Camera Bag Stolen, recommendation for replacements

Hey all,
So I'm a licensed drone pilot based in Ohio, and over the weekend I had the unfortunate situation of my main gear bag disappearing on me. Unfortunate, but we move on.
While I wait for insurance to resolve everything, I wanted to take suggestions on possible gear substitutions or upgrades based on what I already have. For the record, I do a lot of land flyovers and real estate.
What I lost:
Panasonic GH5
Olympus 9-18mm lens
Mavic 2 Pro (+most of the fly more kit)
Amazon Basics Deluxe Camera Bag.
What I currently have:
BMPCC4k
Sigma 18-55 lens (with Viltrox Speed Booster)
Panasonic 25mm m4/3 lens
Phantom 4 Pro v1 (+1 Battery and ND Filters)
Insta360 One R (Split 360 with Mavic 2 mount)
The gear I still have works but most of it is simply too large or cumbersome for travel, especially by plane.

What would you do? What would you get?

I'd wait for Panasonic announcement next week on the 25th before you buy anything.
I'd consider moving to fuji but everything you have is MFT so it may be best to stick with that


as for a bag a nicer shoulder bag would be a Domke F1x, F2


now as for drones I'd just see how the 2 pro and 2S compare
