Excellent case for my Canon XF100

Case is perfect for holding my XF100, a 10ft mic cable, vocal mic, and large noise isolating headphones. I'm not sure it would do very well if I had the shotgun mic installed, however.
The case is tough, just like you'd expect from Pelican.

Good case, but needs more padding
The case itself is great. Very sturdy, double latches are easier to open and close. The padding is thin, too thin for photographic equipment. I would not trust 5 - $6000 with padding...Read complete review
The case itself is great. Very sturdy, double latches are easier to open and close. The padding is thin, too thin for photographic equipment. I would not trust 5 - $6000 with padding this thin. Lid padding is adequate, but the dividers and bottom padding is way too thin.

Comments about Pelican 1504 Waterproof 1500 Case with Padded Black Dividers (Black):
Perfectly fits my DSRL and few lenses. Also i can fit a 5.6inch monitor for video shoot. Only downside is that the small dividers (side) may not be long enough when you put a big zoom.

Comments about Pelican 1504 Waterproof 1500 Case with Padded Black Dividers (Black):
I've used Pelican cases for decades. The 1500 is a good size for most photo gear. The padded dividers are smooth enough that gear slides in and out easily and the padded layer on the bottom and sides is more protective than the foam-only cases for things like lenses. I don't have to worry about dirt and moisture when I carry gear in these cases and they are very robust. They stack nicely so you can wheel a stack of six or eight at a time.

Comments about Pelican 1504 Waterproof 1500 Case with Padded Black Dividers (Black):
Everyone has their preferences as to how they carry and store their equipment but it seems most professionals use Pelican cases. For cameras, I prefer a softer bag, but for the various smaller items that need to be protected and organized, I have found Pelican cases are the perfect fit. They are nearly indestructable, waterproof and do a great job of keeping all items from damage.

First off the Customer Service was great.
The product was received faster than anticipated. The size was perfect - big enough for a DSLR Camera, flash, extra lens and other items - including a digital camcorder in the the future.

Another 5 star product by Pelican for protecting valuable camera gear. This case was my second ever Pelican (1514 was my first). I love these cases, they are worthy of taking any abuse you throw at them while keepig their contents safe. There are plenty of dividers to configure countless ways. I will always travel with my gear in the Pelicans and load up my other bags when I go out hiking.

Comments about Pelican 1504 Waterproof 1500 Case with Padded Black Dividers (Black):
Absolutely love this case. Came with way more dividers than I could ever need. My only regret is not getting the larger version with the wheels and handle as this case is a little heavy once loaded.

Comments about Pelican 1504 Waterproof 1500 Case with Padded Black Dividers (Black):
I'm using this case for a few upcoming trips abroad. My audio equipment (lavalier mic, reg mic, etc) fits in snugly, as well as my Canon 20D, and one short lens. You can rearrange the dividers to create different organization layouts. Definitely will buy more (and larger) Pelican cases as money becomes available. Hope I don't have to test the "waterproof" aspect too much, but it does appear solid.

I found this case to be a great size for run-and-gun shooting in the field. I purchased it for a photo assignment in Haiti and it proved to be tough, well built, and portable to take with me without being too much of hassle. I fit a 5d, t3i, 85mm 1.2, H4n, Microphones, and portable harddrive with space to spare in it. Pelican makes well-built cases and they have a good feel to them.

I use it to store my DSLR camera, lenses and small LEDlights. It works great, just big enough. Dividers are easy to use and I am able to fit everything snuggly. It seems it gonna resist to everything. Its a small investment to protect your gears. I highly recommend it.
