1510 Case with Foam (Black)

First thing's first - I got the desert tan 1510 with foam top and bottom. I went with the foam because I wanted a little more security for my Canon 7D and lenses. (I didn't want any movement) The case is brilliant - the desert tan looks great and it's easy to find among many camera cases when I'm on set. What's even better is the fact that it specifically meets the required dimensions for a carry on bag - no more worrying about the TSA getting a new camera! The roller wheels come in handy and have excellent bearings, The handles have rubber grips that feel good when carrying it. It's tough as nails and gets the job done. I was recently on a beach/dune music video shoot and We used our 1510 as a platform for our hi-hat (basically a tripod head that's flat on the bottom) in the water! No sand or water got in, and thats when I knew I made the right purchase. If you are torn between the padded pockets or the foam, don't worry too much - just think about what you are looking for and how much usable space you need. I'll add an update soon - as I am flying to Colorado and will test out it's carry-on ability. ***UPDATE (DEC 2015)*** It's been a couple years and this case is still amazing. It's held up on all kinds of location shoots and studio shoots. It's served as an emergency apple box as well as a temporary airport seat. This thing just won't break. Regarding the foam on the inside - pluck and peel is great but up until the point you have new equipment, basically get new foam or get the padded dividers if you change gear. Overall, one of the best purchases I've made. If you need any convincing, this is it.

Great case. Worked exactly as I had expected. I purchased this case to transport a small collection of podcasting and live streaming gear to and from various tech conferences. I had no problems getting all of my gear into the case. Two layers of foam allowed me to get even more gear into the case than I had expected. The hinges and latches are very stiff - which I like. If I somehow manage to forget to latch (and use a padlock on the reinforced locking ports), then I doubt that the case would open on its own. I also like that I can order additional foam inserts for different configurations of gear. As far as travel, it's utilitarian, and tough. The wheels are protected, so they don't get beat up. The telescoping handle is much sturdier than other carry-ons - it's a sheet of plastic that slides along the bottom and is held in place by a simple plastic tab. That makes it a little heavier, but I bought this for protection, not weight. It rolls very well, and I never had any issues pulling it along through airports. It fits perfectly in the overhead bin - I'd argue that it fits better than most bags, since it's a hard shell and doesn't have any zippers or bulging pouches to get caught on the bin door or another case. If I travel without my gear, I would likely use this as my carry-on. I would absolutely recommend this for other travelers with gear they need to protect.

Love this case. Makes carrying all of my equipment easy and keeps what I’m not using contained. It comes with three pieces of foam so if you mess up your cutouts you have two more to work with. A bit pricey, but with pelican cases you get what you pay for. The wheels and handle also makes this easy to move if I have extras with me at the ball park. I used this for another Amazon purchase. Three Mevo cameras and tripods. Would buy this again.

This thing is a tank! An airline, (cough) Alaska (cough), took their best shot at breaking it, including a decent size melted spot, but it survived. Love that it is carry on size. With the foam removed it holds a surprising amount of clothes and travel necessities. Buy once, cry once!

First off, I should mention that I bought this case specifically for photography gear. I'm a wedding/event photographer and need to transport my gear to/from locations and wanted something a bit more durable and easier to work out of. My goal was to be able to put my more expensive primary items in this case, while still using my backpack for outdoor (mobile) shooting. When I first unboxed the case, I thought I was going to have to buy a larger one. I was pleasantly surprised with how much gear I was able to fit after spending a morning carefully breaking away the pre-cut cube foam. Keep this in mind. You will need to sit yourself down for several hours carefully shaping the foam. I found it quite enjoyable despite the fact that I watched Manchester United lose (again) while doing this. Just take your time and try to leave about 2 layers of foam between the heavier items. FYI: Inspect the foam grid before you start breaking out the pieces you don't need! There is a seam that runs along the middle in the horizontal and vertical directions that is slightly wider than the pre-cut squares. It's hard to explain, but you'll notice it if you just take one close look. I would suggest you try to leave these 2 seams untouched as they will give the foam a tiny bit more rigidity. For reference, here's the gear that I'm storing in this case: - Canon 1D-series body (w/ eyepiece extender and an Arca Swiss plate plus CustomSLR C-loop on bottom) - Canon 6D body (w/ eyepiece extender and CustomSLR C-loop on bottom) - 24-70mm 2.8L lens w/ hood attached - 135mm 2.0L lens w/ hood attached - 16-35mm f/2.8L *without the hood* or 35mm f/1.4L lens - 3 Canon Speedlites (more on this below)*** - Some slots plucked out for smaller items (16 AA batteries, extra 1D battery, extra 6D battery, 6D charger, 3 Speedlite shoes, 8 card SD card holder. I work out of this case when I'm on location. If I'm going to go mobile, I'll pick out what I need and throw it in my backpack. ***Note retarding Speedlites: I have 600EX's. This case is about 1/4" too shallow to place them vertically. If you could, there would be even more space for gear. I have 2 of the flashes laying on top of each other and the 3rd is placed in a slot where the head is tilted in the 90-degree position. If you have 580EX (or something other) check the length. If they are at least 1/4 inch shorter when the head is pointed directly up, this case will hold a bit more gear. After thinking about the purchase of this specific case a bit more, I will likely buy a second identical one so I have a place for the rest of my photography related gear (brackets, extra card holders, 70-200 f2.8L IS lens, 1D series body charger (which is big), AA chargers, etc.) I'm not going to question the durability of any Pelican case. I have 2 others that I've been using for many years and they are as close to indestructible as you can get. It's a very safe purchase that will last a very long time. Keep in mind that these cases hold their value should you decide to sell it a year or 3 down the road. I'll snap a photo of my layout and upload it here ASAP.

The 1510 is a fantastic case. I bought it to secure my loose electronics on a flight over the Atlantic. It's going to be a carry-on, which is great, but does come with some limitations. First is weight. This is a heavy plastic box. Really heavy. Really, really heavy. Perhaps I didn't get it across right, but this box is heavy and weighs nearly half of the carry on weight limit. I knew this in advance, but it's a concern. Dimensions aren't of concern, as they'll meet the requirements. And yes, for a carry on, this is overkill unless I want my electronics to survive a plane crash over the Atlantic. But, I bought iM2950s for checked baggage, and I really like my gear to match and I don't know when I'll need something this secure, anyway. I'm very impressed with the construction. It's not my first experience with Pelican cases, but it is the first one I've owned. There's the right amount of clasps, and they open very easily and with little force. Handles abound and there's even a very nice expanding handle for pulling it like a suitcase. The rollers are solid and roll very fluidly. Basically, you definitely get $150-200 worth of product with his case. My second concern was space. Plastic cases rarely have square edges, and Pelican is no different. The rounded edges would normally make it difficult to fit things in easily. Fortunately, the Pick and Pluck foam is great. There's four pads included, one for the top, two pluckable layers and a base pad in the bottom of the case. This base pad makes the difference as it essentially raises the floor of the case to where the rounded edges stop, giving you a nice even space to place things while padding the bottom that you would do anyway. The pick and pluck foam is great, very customizable and very firm. It will definitely hold your items secure during travel. I would have rather chosen Pelican's soon to be available luggage series, which is a lighter-weight. But the cost of those cases is more than double this one. I'll report back after my trip and update as to how the cases held up.

I'm using this case for transporting camera gear when traveling. The pick and pluck foam is easy to setup so your gear fits inside perfectly and the overall case is the usual Pelican quality and durability that I've come to expect. I've taken this case as both carry-on and checked luggage on the airplane and it always comes out looking great with everything inside in perfect condition. The pull-out handle for rolling the bag is nice and compact as to not take up any interior space (unlike a regular suitcase where the bars impede on the interior).

I bought this case on craigslist new. It's a fantastic case, but just a couple of thoughts and tips I wish I had. 1) The wheels at the bottom protrude into the bottom layer of pick n pluck. So anything that requires two layers, I recommend putting toward the top handle end. I wish I would have put my flash at the bottom, since it only requires the top layer in depth. So my lens bottom cap rubs slightly on the plastic, I don't think it's an issue, but definitely not preferential. I put a thin layer of cut foam between the lens and the wheel. 2) Place all of your equipment on top of the foam before cutting where you want it, take your time and plan this out. Think about what items you might need in the future and plan space accordingly. 3) Use toothpicks and stick them around the equipment on top of the foam. It's in a grid, so line up the lines using that. 4) Then use a sharp knife to cut along the precut lines to each toothpick ([...]) 5) Always make holes smaller than needed and slowly remove accordingly after. 6) Then carefully reach down through the first layer to pull apart the second layer. 7) It's three layers.Two layers of pick n pluck, and one layer that's just added cushion at the bottom. 8) try leave two square layers between each item, I cut it a little close with one layer, due to trying to be ambitious getting everything in this case. It seems a bit flimsy. I'm going to try to use glue to keep it from tearing. Try to avoid that if you can. 9) If you make a mistake, it's not the end of the world, you can get replacement foam ([...]) 10) Take a few hours to do this, it took me maybe an hour and a half to get it how I like. It was actually kind of fun and very rewarding at the end. 11) Never flew with this, but apparently it's the maximum airplane carry on size. 12) It has two locking points on both sides of the handle. 13) It's a little heavy to carry around, but it rolls smoothly. Not as heavy as I expected it to be with my setup. 14) Don't make it flashy with stickers. I plan to keep it nice and black to keep it from standing out too much. If it wasn't for the wheel protruding, it would definitely be five stars. I love the case. It's a good idea for anyone with several lenses that travel or do events. I plan on bringing my photo backpack (Lowepro 22L Hatchback Backpack) and leaving the case in the car, swapping out lenses when needed.

Case is very well constructed and built to last. The foam was easy to configure but in retrospect, it might have been wiser to have gotten the padded dividers so reconfiguration is possible. It's possible to retrofit with dividers so nothing lost in getting this. Camera and lenses now have a safe and secure place.

Finally got my Pelican case and it is awesome for my work tools. Very handy and easy to carry and it meets airport and airline dimensions for both hand carry and checked-in size. I am sure this will last for years of travel and rugged use.

Excelente producto para protección de armas

Lo utilizo para equipo de fotografía y cabe todo lo necesario, las ruedas aguantan muchísimo, los baleros los mojé con agua de mar y no se oxidaron, sumergí el case en un río con el equipo dentro y nada pasó, la mejor forma de proteger tu equipo.

出張移動に工具を入れて使用しています。 持ち運びのサイズ感は気にいってます。 中身は工夫次第ですね。 カスタムして自分好みにしたいです。 重いですが伸縮ハンドルも 思っていたより反りが無いので 良かったです。 但しAirを持たせて貰った時は 衝撃的な軽さでした。
