Great case November 4, 2008
Hello Earth! (Tolleson, Arizona United States)

I truly enjoy using this case in the field. It can hold most of my Nikon photo gear, that I use 99% of the time. I am glad that it has wheels, because this is not something I would want to carry for any distance. I highly recommend this case because it offers a lot of protection from the weather and from impacts to my photo gear, much better than my old Zero Halliburton aluminum case. As you can see from the photo that I uploaded it holds 3 bodies and several lenses. One of the advantages I like about the 1610 case is that it is wide enough; I can leave on my most frequently used lenses on the bodies, and not to worry about dust issues.
The Perfect Photo Equipment Case June 13, 2008

Having outgrown my Pelican 1510 Hardcase - I was in the market for a larger protective case that had room for my two camera bodies - two speedlights, flash diffusers, seven lenses and other digital photography accessories including batteries, battery chargers, filters and lens cases and hoods. This case offers water, dirt, dust and chemical protection; the case being both water and air tight. Depending on the padding options, plucked foam offering the most protection - there are very few places, climates or modes of transport this case and its contents cannot survive.
Fitted out with optional TSA locks - it offers some vestiges of security being thrown into an airplane hold - it being too large to be accepted as cabin overhead baggage. Two stage lid clamps on top and sides insure there will be no accidental opening of this case. O ring and air pressure valve insure water and air tightness.
As a defense contractor, I travel to climate extremes as part of my employment and switch between 3 different padding options:
1. 'Plucked foam' enables me to size almost exactly each piece of equipment in virtually shock proof protection. The downside is less room for everything I want to carry. This carry option included the foam padding in the lid - giving my equipment all around protection.
2. (Pelican #1614) Padded velcro dividers - adjustability with minimum 'wasted space' allowing a greater carrying capacity, but less isolation of individual pieces of equipment from bouncing and jarring. Under most circumstances - it remains my preferred packing option. I can change equipment padding space on the fly - using the velcro strips to resize the padding. Keeping the foam on the box lid still offers very good all around protection against contents moving or being bounced against each other under any travel circumstances.
3. (Pelican #1609 lid organizer)Padded velcro dividers - with an unpadded lid organizer cargo net option replacing the foam in the case lid ... this option is great for maximizing carry capacity - with the sacrifice of shock and bounce and isolation protection. Objects that would be protected by a foam insert in the lid are fully exposed to larger vertical objects carried in the case body. Careful, very careful packing and spacing of contents must be conducted to avoid damaging either the contents of lid organizer or case contents (or both) which can rub and scrape and damage each other.
Number two is my preferred organiztion of the case - the others put into play based on need for extra protection or carrying a lot of equipment over short distances and time.
The case is larger than it appears - gobbling up loads of equipment without protest - with a weight penalty to match. Carrying the case is a joy - wheels are well spaced and move without friction; retractable handle is comfortable and allows a good carrying angle. Getting the case in and out of a deep car trunk with a full load of equipment inside is the only discomfort drawback to using the full capacity of this case. There are carry handles both top and side to aid in this effort.
The case is offered in 3 colors from Pelican: Black, OD (Green) and Desert (Tan). Not all vendors will carry all colors. Be very specific as well as thinking through on which padding options you select as the options are not cheap. With a lifetime warranty - you cannot do better than choosing this case. 5 Stars...
