5.0 out of 5 stars The best travel-ready, secure option for your photo gear
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2013
On my quest to assemble the ideal storage and transport solution for my camera gear, I came across this case and haven't looked back since.

Including the (highly recommended) accessory holder for the top, I can fit the following gear perfectly:

5D mk ii and 5d mk iii bodies with grips
4x canon camera batteries and 2 canon chargers
3x 600ex flashes and st-e2 transmitter
3x sto fen omni bounce diffusers
2x tamrac battery case w/ 32 total aa eneloop batteries
24-70 2.8 L ii w/ hood
70-300 4-5.6 L w/ hood
100 2.8 L macro w/ hood
135 2.0 L w/ hood
Canon intervalometer and remote shutter release
Pelican Cf memory card holder w/ up to 8 cards
Blackrapid shoulder and wrist straps
Pocket rocket lens cleaner and several microfiber cleaning cloths

The protection, durability, and design of this system (if contents fitted correctly) is absolutely incredible. True to the Pelican brand, this will withstand just about anything, but most importantly, it is nearly immune to moisture, dust, and moderate impacts, which are huge weaknesses in most non-rigid camera cases. At 220lbs, I would stand on this while full of gear without a second thought and it makes a passable seat when none are available.

This is the perfect size for overhead storage in flights and the wheels work pretty well on smooth surfaces such as airports and sidewalks. Traveling overseas with this offered great piece of mind, as nobody in their right mind should ever check expensive electronics to be mishandled and potentially stolen by airport staff. The design also allows the use of locks and I've found the addition of a security cable running through the locks and around a solid structure is a pretty effective deterrent when you are away.

When I need to take my gear into the field or run & gun on assignment, I use a Lowepro toploader and/or S&F cases & belt for whatever combination I need. This allows me to choose the right tools for the job from my Pelican case and its always nice knowing everything has a cozy and safe home when I'm finished.

Considering the substantial investments you make in camera gear, it only makes sense to protect your equipment with the best available solution. I my mind, it's the Pelican 1510 hands down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Overall, a great case!
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2011
I've now used this case on a couple of photo gigs during the last month, and overall, I love it. It's cheaper than all the camera-specific soft-sided rolling cases and is a lot more durable in a big way. I love that when my camera gear is riding in this case, I have absolutely no worries what so ever.

When I received this case I immediately noticed that it was smaller than I was expecting. It was important for me to get something carry-on compliant though, so that's not Pelican's fault. It doesn't fit every last little thing I had hoped to cram in there, but it did allow me to consolidate a camera backpack and 2 random camera bags into the one case after removing a few insignificant things.

Bottom line for those who don't want to read the details? Yes I would buy this case again if I needed this size. Yes I would recommend it to a friend. Yes I'm thrilled with the purchase and the price! In the future I plan to buy a similarly equipped case that's larger for local gigs, and you can believe it's going to be a Pelican!

The Details:

*Padded divider system is adequate but not so padded that it wastes a lot of space. This is awesome. Some bags and cases on the market waste so much space through unnecessarily over-padded walls and dividers that it's ridiculous how much space is wasted. Also, It's worth mentioning that I have extra dividers left after I configured my case. Always a plus!

*The case itself is waterproof and overall is tough as nails. I can't wait to throw some travel at this case and see what she'll put up with.

*While not the typical inline-skate wheels you see on most luggage and rolling cases, the wheels do appear to be quite solid.

*I'm 6ft tall and sometimes find luggage and rolling cases to be uncomfortable to pull with how low their handles are. Happily, I don't have this issue with this case.

*Organization! With the padded dividers and the optional lid organizer, this case is awesome for organizing my gear. Both my assistants absolutely love this case, and it's also easy for me to describe where stuff is without having to show them. If you buy this case, you need to get the lid organizer. Period. It's cheap and so handy!

*Appearance: Now, a lot of people will tell you this isn't important. What I can say though, is that with weddings especially, but also other assignments, perception on the part of your clients and their guests is everything. This case definitely looks legit, while rolling behind us and when we open it up to reveal the myriad of equipment we use, all organized into compartments.

*The extra handles on the outside of the case (the non-extending ones) are crazy solid and very very handy when you need to move the case without the wheels, or load it into a car or a shelf. SOLID! And rubberized!

Other comments:

*The recesses for the wheels protrude into the inside of the case a bit. There really isn't a way around this if you want to keep the wheels protected, but I still found this to be mildly annoying when trying to make everything fit.

*The main pull handle is weird. It's one solid piece of molded plastic, rather than your typical telescoping luggage handle. It functions fine, and my guess is that it will surpass the typical luggage-style handles in longevity because it's leagues more durable and doesn't have moving parts. Still though, it's just a bit odd and it does flex a little bit in the middle. Overall though, still solid. I love that it locks when it's extended, and it locks when you push it back down into the case as well.

*One thing I didn't realize I'd miss: No pockets on the outside. On all my bags and backpacks and on my personal luggage, I've gotten used to large, flat outer zipper pockets. For photography, they were perfect for flat-folding light modifiers, lighting gels, disc reflectors, etc. Now I keep these items stored under the padded divider tray. Luckily the version I received has a padded bottom, so my assistants and I are able to pull the whole tray out to get to the flat items underneath.

What I fit in this case with a little experimentation and creative packing:

*2 Nikon DSLR's with Power Grips
*1 Nikon SB900 Speedlight (not in it's case)
*1 Nikon SB600 Speedlight (in it's case with it's foot/stand)
*1 Nikon SB24 Speedlight (in it's tie-up case)
*3 Pocket Wizard Plus II Transceivers
*Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 Lens with Hood (mounted to one of the cameras)
*Tokina 12-24mm F4 Lens with Hood
*Nikon 50mm F1.4G Lens
*Nikon DX 35mm F1.8G Lens
*Lensbaby Composer in the Lensbaby Case (tucked inside lightspere mentioned below).
*Old Nikon 70-210mm F4 Lens with Hood (similar in size I believe to the 80 to 200 F2.8 non-VR lens)
*5 Dot-Line AA Battery Cases (each fit 8 AA Batteries)
*Nikon SB-D9 Battery Pack for SB900
*Gary Fong Universal Lightsphere (the non-collapsible kind. Takes up a lot of space but worth it for wedding gigs)
*Joe Demb/Demb Flash Products Flip-It
*Small Dome Diffuser (similar to StoFen) that came with SB900
*Small Gel organizer that came with SB900
*Small Foot/stand that came with SB900
*Tripod & Monopod Plates
*2 Memory Card Wallets
*Sync Cables for flashes
*4 Extra Nikon Batteries (2 extras for each camera body)
*2 Small rolls of Gaffer's Tape (one black, one white)
*Lumiquest Softbox III (Flat under divider tray)
*Honl 8" Snoot (Flat under divider tray)
*Honl Grids - 1/4" and 1/8"
*Honl Barn Door/Gobo (Flat under divider tray)
*Home-made velcro Gel Holder (Flat under divider tray)
