Pelican 1514 Carry On 1510 Case with Dividers (Black)

Comments about Pelican 1514 Carry On 1510 Case with Dividers (Black):

Excellent product. Dark colored dividers better than the tan. May get too heavy for hand plane hand luggage allowances with several lenses/bodies; however can't beat it for the protection.

This case is durable and easy to cart around. It fits in an airplane luggage bin.

This is by far the best case I have seen for the money. Very well built. Currently, I have it housing a 7D w/grip, 50D w/grip, 70-200 f2.8, 17-55 f2.8, 28-70 f2.8, 2 chargers, 8 batteries, CF card case and a netbook with power for my Sports Photo business. If I was forced to come up with a complaint--and its a very minor one--the handle when extended does have a bit of flex, but it doesn't feel cheap by any means. Buy one...maybe two

Comments about Pelican 1514 Carry On 1510 Case with Dividers (Black):

I'm using it for my toolbox. I fly all the time and the 1514 is perfect size for the overhead bin spaces in most airplanes. The dividers help keep me a little more organized.

Comments about Pelican 1514 Carry On 1510 Case with Dividers (Black):

Use for all my camera gear. We actually have 2.
Purchase these because of the great versatility and ability to take on plane and overseas.

Photographer I work with has taken his to Africa and fallen in a muddy river with it. Equipment and laptop perfectly dry and no damage.

Mine is going to China with me in a month.

Suggest the grey inserts. Mine are black and so is all my equipment....could use some contrast.

Comments about Pelican 1514 Carry On 1510 Case with Dividers (Black):

I use this case to transport and store my HDSLR camera and AKS. Shoulder mount, rods, follow focus, EVF/Onboard monitor, body, cards, card reader, cables, arms, handles, and a kit zoom lens. It fits everything more effectively and efficiently than the foam interior Pelican I had previously. It's ideal.

The only downside is that the carry-on size necessitates a narrow wheel-base, so while rolling the case over uneven terrain, or when dodging pedestrians, the case is likely to wobble, and if it's loaded up with weight, it will flip around, causing you to curse silently under your breath. Worse things have happened.

I'm a camera man with years of experience and I use Pelican case products on a day to day basis. I use this particular case to keep 2 DSLR cameras and all their extras plus a 4" Marshall monitor and 2 hard drives.

Great case indeed, it fell off the tailgate of the truck 2 nights after I got it and everything survived. It can fall down a flight of stairs and still survive!

We have a whole lot of humidity here in Miami and this case does a great job of keeping moisture out with the pressure valve.

I use the case for all of my camera gear, 18-270 lens, 70-300 lens, 18-55 lens, 50mm lens, T1i body, 430 ex speed light, extra batteries (4), sdhc cards, cables, neck straps and then some. Hopefully I'll have an excuse to get another 1 and it will be the same 1

The case must the best storage for photographic equipment when travel all round the world. Don't worried any damage from transport.

This case set up is rugged and perfect for overhead storage during air travel. If the dimensions work for you, buy it.

Comments about Pelican 1514 Carry On 1510 Case with Dividers (Black):

This is a very rugged case that fits comfortably in the overhead compartment of full sized jet airliners. The padded dividers are very flexible and useful. My only concern is how the retractable handle will hold up over time. It extends and contracts smoothly and easily, but when extended, the connection point between the handle and the case seems less than rugged. We'll see.

Comments about Pelican 1514 Carry On 1510 Case with Dividers (Black):

Great for traveling and shooting marine life on and around water. Perfect size for flying, standing on, sitting on, tabling laptop, etc. Nothing negative to say about this product at all.

Comments about Pelican 1514 Carry On 1510 Case with Dividers (Black):

Was apprehensive about getting the 1510 thinking it wouldn't be big enough to hold my u/w gear* almost got the 1560 and risk not being able to take it as a carryon. But there was plenty of room. Go for the dividers over the picknpluck foam much easier to configure and still protects as long as you are in control of the case. Great from storage-to travel-to boat. Glad I got the 1519 Lid organizer holds ball arms, clamps, oring kits and xtra batteries while taking up less space than the lid foam.
Only regret is the Black color as it gets hot on boat in sun (white towel over solves it) Wish you could get orange or yellow with the dividers at same price and in stock.

I bought this to use as carry-on luggage to protect my camera, a couple lenses, and my 17" laptop from airline baggage handlers. It works quite well. My 17" laptop just barely fits, but there was sufficient room for all the necessary accessories (mouse, external hard-drive, camera, charger, lenses, and manuals). Plus it fits quite easily in the overhead bins of all but the smallest regional jets.

At about $160, they are still within my "bag budget". Although this bag is definitely not "stealthy", it makes up for it with its "peace of mind" factor. Pelican cases are all known for their impact resistance, watertight-ness (note: not water-proof), and durability. Whenever I fly with my camera gear, I always make sure I pack as little as possible so that if I was forced to check my carry-on, I could at least take my camera out and put it underneath the seat in front of me. I'm definitely scared of putting my camera below deck, especially after reading this about baggage handlers. Basically I wanted some assurance that if I was carrying more than 2 lenses and my body, I would be slightly at ease if my case had to be checked at the gate.

So as you can tell, this is a hard-shelled bag. When closed, you can sit on it and it doesn't appear to flex very much at all (I'm about 185 lbs). The two 2-stage latches make opening and closing the Pelican case very easy, and when it snaps closed, you can just feel how secure your valuables will be. you can even drive a truck over it!

I got the Pelican 1510 Case with padded dividers because I knew I would need a bag that would adapt as my equipment adapted. Although the pick-and-pluck foams appears to provide a more custom fit and better impact resistance, I didn't want to commit myself to one configuration (although there are people out there who have re-pieced together plucked foams). I am still planning on some upgrades, so I wanted to "future-proof" my bag by getting the hook and loop-attached dividers. After a couple tries, I got the dividers where I wanted them, making so I could fit all my lenses, flashes, and accessories.

I can comfortably fit the following in my bag:
- Canon 40D with BG2-EN grip attached
- Canon XTi
- Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L
- Canon 50mm f/1.4
- Canon 100mm f/2.8
- Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8
- Canon 580EXII
- Canon 430EXII
- Gary Fong Lightsphere I
- Giottos Rocket Bulb (Med)
- Joby DSLR Gorillapod
- Honl Bounce Card
- Lumiquest 80-20 Bounce Kit
- Opteka snoot
- Nikon LensPen Kit
- Remote trigger/timer
- 3x Radio flash receivers, 1x transmitter
- spare batteries
- XTi, 40D and AA/AAA battery chargers
- flash puffer

Protects your gear

Comments about Pelican 1514 Carry On 1510 Case with Dividers (Black):

Great product, tons of room for equipment. Deep enough for pro bodes with grips. Will accommodate 70-200 but it needs to be length wise on its side. But it is a great case with tons of room for equipment.

Comments about Pelican 1514 Carry On 1510 Case with Dividers (Black):

A very solid plastic, chunkily styled and water resistant case that offer great protection. For the size of the case it's honestly surprising how much you can fit in once you get the hang of packing it right.

The lid organizer is a great idea to contain all the bits and pieces that normally get tossed into corners and then fly around in the case. Installed it with some 2" wide industrial strength velco rather than the small screws provided.

I'm loving both the 1510 and its organizer!

Comments about Pelican 1514 Carry On 1510 Case with Dividers (Black):

I bought this case specifically for keeping my gear in something other than a bag when away at college, and having it locked and chained to my bed. This case is build like a tank! It may be expensive for a case, but you're buying something with exceptional build quality, and that's certainly something you don't want to skimp out on!

Comments about Pelican 1514 Carry On 1510 Case with Dividers (Black):

I'll start with the case its self. Fantastically built and a beautiful seal. Extremely professional looking and solid casing. Plastic is not brittle and explosive feeling. I image it could take a few solid drops and smile at you asking for more punishment!

The rolling handle is sooo nice for air travel or anywhere this thing has to get lugged around. It's not light, but its also not supposed to be. size is great to fit a couple camera bodies and 4-6 lenses and a speedlite.

The divider system is nice because it can be modified. As your kit changes, so can the space. Pluck foam your stuck with what you create. (Which may or may not be fine for you.)

All in all I love it and highly recommend the kit.
