The Pelican 1527 Convertible Travel Bag is a top and side loading padded gadget bag made to fit inside any Pelican 1520 series case. Remove the foam or divides and replace then with a gadget bag. It has dividers to organize and protect the equipment against impact, vibration and thermal shock, as well as moisture and dust. The bag is carried by a comfortable carrying handle; a thick ergonomic shoulder strap can be used with the 1520 case also.
The 1527 travel bag is made from heavy-duty waterproof, padded ballistic nylon material with rustproof nylon zippers on all pockets and reinforced straps and clips.

Comments about Pelican 1527 Convertible Travel Bag:
These bags are a perfect fit for my Pelican cases and are versitile both in the case and as a stand alone bag. Well designed and executed.
Wouldn't consider using anything else.

Comments about Pelican 1527 Convertible Travel Bag:
I'd have to agree with the other poster. Options forrearranging dividers, and accommodating even a D200 w/70-300lens are very limited. The separate compartment along bottomreally cuts into the depth of this bag.
Comments about Pelican 1527 Convertible Travel Bag:
Product is very well constructed and has excellent features. Neither B&H nor Pelican websites show configuration of the interior fittings, so it's impossible to tell what camera equipment can be accommodated. Because there was no description of the interior, I assumed that the internal dividers were similar to the dividers sold with the 1524 case or the 1525 divider set, but they are not. The interior design and nature of dividers are very limiting and will not permit effective use with a single Canon 30D SLR with only 4 lenses [24-70 f/2.8L, 70-200 f/2.8L IS, 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS, and one smaller lens], flash and accessories. Before buying this product, you should try to inspect the travel bag and determine if it will meet your needs.
