Love this case! July 31, 2010

In this case, I have a 5dMII, 16-35L, 50mm 1.4, Nikon D90, Nikon 10.5mm, and still have room for more. I bought this case with the foam in it. The case has a solid build and gives me assurance that my gear is safe! I highly recommed this product.
 Almost perfect June 11, 2010

The pelican 1510 case comes from a long line of great products with the same incredible durability and protection features. I purchased mine with the padded dividers, since my needs change job to job as far as what equipment i'll be taking with me. I wanted a more secure, stronger storage/travel case that wasn't a soft-sided backpack, and the pelican fit the bill.
the 1510 holds nearly as much equipment as a lowepro computrekker plus AW backpack, of which i'm using two for storing medium format and 35mm equipment. the pelican fit the following:
full sized pro body
2 telephoto zoom lenses (70-200, 100-400)
2 medium zoom lenses (24-70, 17-40)
2 prime lenses (50 f/1.8, 85 f/1.2)
and had a minimal amount of space for some accessories, extra battery and charger, flip video cam. but very minimal. you can shove things in a soft-sided bag until its bursting at the seams, but overfill a pelican and youre likely to break something if you can even get it to clamp down.
granted, the only thing I use on a regular basis that didnt fit into the case was a long macro lens, which i usually dont travel with anyways. Since the pelican would be an addition to a backpack for my laptop, a bit of the slack in storage space would be filled by that bag (paperwork, releases, cleaning gear).
I wish the case were a little deeper-my biggest complaint. the top of my 1dmk4 is sticking out a little further than i'd like it to. it's well within the space allowed to close the case, but its pushing against the eggshell foam on the top. I might put an extra piece of padding over the camera just to give it a little more cushion.
Likely, I'll continue using my backpacks for transport until the unfortunate day when i'm forced to choose between gate-checking my laptop, or 10k worth of photography equipment. Overall, the case is a great way to protect sensitive equipment during travel, and it probably makes a great chair on the fly as well.
Great case for carry-on travelers April 24, 2010

For my business I often must travel on short notice so I have a "go kit" packed for 3 day stays designed for carryon travel, and now its all in this case. Let me explain some things not shown in the picture.
First, on the back is the famous roller wheels and pull-out handle for getting through the airports. They are made of black plastic typical pelican tough stuff and don't show here.
Second, this case is sized for the maximum allowable carry-on size, which means no hassles at the airport.
Third, it comes with 2 layers of the famous pick and pluck foam insert. This does the job, but its not a custom fit for everything out there and looks funny. You can also buy closed cell foam sheets and trace out your product's outline, then I like to use an electric carving knife like you'd use on the thanksgiving turkey to cut clean lines and curves. That's a personal matter - if I'm traveling, I have smaller pieces of foam for sensitive stuff and often put clothes and such in the rest of the case, taking out the pelican foam.
Fourth, Pelican re-designed their tough as nails snaps. While they kept things closed tight, often getting them open after temperature and pressure changes could be a challenge. The new snap is a 2 step design with a closure step, followed by a locking step. This gives the same strength as before but without busting thumbs to get the snaps open.
Finally, the whole box is tough as nails. Just a note here, it is a heavy piece of carry on but most airlines don't weigh that yet. All the hinges are designed for the rigors of being kicked, dropped, water landings, etc and with proper packing your inside contents are ready to go.
I have one other Pelican travel case that I've owned for over a decade - it's their Maximum checked luggage box - it's been on alot of airplanes and now has the TSA low security lock so they can peek inside (they usually do and leave me a note on top of my dirty laundry since anything of value goes with me carryon). That box also has wheels and has become much more than a box over the year. It has served as a chair, a luggage cart to carry other bags on top of its wheels, and over 10 years of air and ship travel it has some scuff marks but everything still works. It's why I insist on pelican products and why I was happy to hear they made a max carryon size. My personal view on their divider system sold separately for this case is that it's suboptimal for most applications and a tad overpriced but I'm sure it does exactly what some people need by making lots of padded compartments inside once placed.
Pelican 1510 for photography use March 11, 2010

We purchased a Pelican 1510 for our photography business to carry all of our gear. It is able to hold 2 cameras, 5 lenses, 3 flashes and many other small items with ease. The case holds everything securely and the latches are very strong. The case even withstood our toddlers. One day they found the case and moved it to the middle of the room and used it to jump on and off of. All of the gear was fine and the case looks like it did the day we got it. I would recommend this case to any one that need a case that meets TSA size restrictions.
A must have to protect your gear!!!! November 18, 2009

This is a great investment for protection of your gear. I have been using it for 6 months now and love it!!! I bought it in conjuction with the lid organizer and padded dividers. It is amazing how much gear you can stow and how well you can organize all your accesories in the lid organizer pockets. Having a rugged airline approved cary-on case like this will let you travel without having to worry about someone throwing their bag on top of your expensive / delicate gear in the airplane.
