I bought this case so that I would be able to carry most of my camera gear as carry-on. It holds all my lenses, flash and body. It also has several conveinent compartments for other items as well as your computer. The only down side I have for this case is the retractable handle. It seems to be pretty flimsy; I expected a lot more durability from a durable name brand item like Pelican.

It is one of very few cases that are under 18" in height which is very important for international travel. Excellent design and I like the separate laptop case and that they provided a way to mount a tripod to the side of the case. It is also lightweight which is important. Hard shell cases like the Pelican cases are so heavy you lose 1/3 to 1/2 your allowed luggage weight before you put anything inside. With a case like this one you can take another 8-10 lbs. without worrying about excess weight fees.

ON THE WAY TO GREECE, STOPPED AT B&H STORE IN NYC. NEEDED A CASE FOR EQUIPMENT AND WAS RECOMMENDED THE PELICAN PCS-179. WHILE EXITING PLANE AND CARRYING CASE, HANDLE CAME APART. WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION, I REMOVED THE CONTENTS OF THE BAG AND WAS ABLE TO OPEN ZIPPER AND FIND THAT ONLY ONE (1) SCREW AND NOT THE 2 SCREWS NEEDED TO HOLD BRACKET FOR HANDLE WERE THERE. TO ME THAT MEANS THAT THEIR QUALITY CONTROL IS LACKING.

Although not a hard case, sturdy and convenient for carry-on. Very sturdy and well functioning zippers. Lot's of room for my cameras and lens. Can fit my 17" laptop in a removable laptop compartment. My only complaint is that I would've liked more little zippered compartments for small camera accessories (like cords, batteries, memory cards, etc).
