Using this for projector transport. Works exactly like you want it to, very solid case!

Fit our Sony FS100 perfectly. The first layer was the perfect depth. For other things added, you can cut the first layer of foam taken out in half (or however much) and put it back to get everything to the right height. We got everything we needed for our camera including cables, battery charger, lens, viewfinder, shotgun mic, and even had space for an extra lens down the road. Can't beat Pelican cases.

If you need your delicate electronic equipment to survive a daily trip to a coal mine, in all that muck and slime, then you need a Pelican case.
If you need your multi-thousand dollar radio gear to survive a trip to the jungle and back, it needs to go into a Pelican case.
If you need a good deal on Pelican stuff, B&H is where to go. They are invisible...just amazing on getting the stuff out the door.

I bought this case to use with a Canon XF300. It works great and gives me piece of mind that the XF300 is well protected. This is another great Pelican product.

Comments about Pelican 1560 Case with Foam (Black):

I have finally found a portable case that I can fit everything I need in one carry case.

It isn't the Lightest Case around, but you can rest assured it will not fall apart within a year, like other equivalently priced cases I have purchased in the past.

Solid Hard construction prevents any damage to everthing you pack inside.

The precut cube foam insert is great for planning out your organization of everything.

Fit Cameras, Lenses, Batteries, Strobes and more!

We use this case at my work to transport an expensive monitor around, with the custom foam it's well protected and stays dry as a bone in the worst rain. Pelicans are great, would never use anything less!

I love the durabillity of the case. I'm always confident that my high dollar equipment will be safe in it.

I purchased the case to transport several electronic pieces of equipment to Southern Sudan. The foam inserts allow you to customize the shapes needed to transport anything you need and for the 1560 included satellite terminal, satellite phone, flashlights, small printer, and a few other pieces of gear. It's sturdy and lightweight but definitely bulky. However, having two handles helps, as does the telescoping handle to roll it. I would happily buy additional Pelican cases in the future from BH of varying sizes.

I purchased the 1560 to transport electrical test tools on air travel as well as via the trunk of my car. The size of the 1560 is perfect without getting too bulky or overweight. The retractable handle and wheels make it easy to use. It was very easy to pick out the foam in order to place my test tools. I might buy another!

This is a great product. I travel with 3 Canon 5D's and 3 small primes. Everything fits nicely into this case, and is easily carried on large planes. The only time you may have a problem is on smaller, regional flights. Though I greatly dislike parting with my gear at a "Gate Check", at least I know it's in a Pelican.

Will be making a trip to Alaska later this year by plane and wanted solid protection for a Nikon 500 mm F4 and maybe an extra camera body. Solid is probably the right word. This should hold up to anything the airlines can dish out.

Comments about Pelican 1560 Case with Foam (Black):

As with the other 13 Pelican cases I own, this one is no exception. Rock solid, water tight, and I hesitate to say almost indestructable. When I see those old commercials with the gorilla jumping on the suitcase, this should have been it. We ship these things via plane and semi, they sit in the back of pickups in the rain, or in the dirt on the side of the road, and always protect there contents and show very little external wear. As long as Pelican makes cases like this, we will keep buying them.

Pelican cases are great. You can pack thousands of dollars worth of equipment with no worries of damage during storage or transport. The 1560 is nice and deep which allow me to pack cameras with the battery grips attached and lenses in a vertical position which save a lot of room. The retractable handle and wheels also make it very convenient for transport.

Comments about Pelican 1560 Case with Foam (Black):

I use this case to store and transport camera lenses and gear. It's extremely rugged, and a good value. I would improve upon the product by adding additional foam perforations to make it easier to setup lenses of various heights. That is, make more perforation on the vertical so the pieces can be removed in shorter increments. This particular case won't fit in overhead bins, but is THE case to get if you have the airline check your camera gear on flights.

Comments about Pelican 1560 Case with Foam (Black):

This Pelican 1560 is an addition to about 5 other Pelican cases that I previously purchased. The thing with Video/Film/Photo work is that we have tons of equipment that cost a lot. With that in mind, spending a few hundred dollars to protect thousand dollar equipment, in my opinion, is the right thing to do. I do shop around and BH Photo video always has the best prices.

Comments about Pelican 1560 Case with Foam (Black):

We use the product to put 2-way satellite radios and domes in. We have distributed over 200 in the state of Kentucky. Area Emergency Management directors, every Hospital and Health Deptartment have them in case of disasters. So far we have never had a problem with any cases made by Pelican. [...]

Comments about Pelican 1560 Case with Foam (Black):

This case is great. Works out good for carrying around Camera Gear I shoot with the most. Was able to fit 3 Nikon cameras with grips, 14-24, 24-70, 70-200, 17-55, 5 Nikon SB900's and still have enough room for another camera.

Comments about Pelican 1560 Case with Foam (Black):

As the headline says, this is a solid case with high-quality foam padding.

Cut out the necessary cubes, glue back in the pieces as per the instructions, and your equipment is not moving around at all.

The only downside is that I wish it had rings on the side of the case for the locks, not just the front.

Comments about Pelican 1560 Case with Foam (Black):

Great Case, weather and even water proof. Excellent build quality, a great cheap insurance for you investment. Just beware of the dimensions, the wheels take a few inches off the official inner dimension, I was trying to put a projector in with just an inch of foam on each side and due to the wheels I wasn't able to. Other than that excellent product.

Comments about Pelican 1560 Case with Foam (Black):

It's a good fit for two SLRs, 300/2.8, 70-200/2.8, flash, short lens. Weather resistance and durability is ideal for outdoor sports like football or soccer.

I did not like the hold open function of the lid but was easily remedied by removing bump on hinges with a utility knife. Now it opens easily.

Wheels are designed for hard floors or pavement. They don't roll well on soil or gravel.

Padding is adequate but pick and pluck foam is not durable when handling equipment in or out of case.
