Pelican 1630 Case with Foam (Black)

Comments about Pelican 1630 Case with Foam (Black):

Pelican cases have a hard core rep and after I got mine I can see why. Stable is an understatement. The pick your foam adventure is great to have snug secure gear. now instead of having four separate bags I have one case to take with me to shoots. There is so much room, I have ample room to expand and fit my future gears needs for years to come. That, and the security are more than worth the price.

We needed a way to transport our new Sony HD XDcam worth more than $50K to our location shoots. This case is perfect. We were able to position the camera with plenty of foam protection plus, room for batteries and media. The exterior is tough. The handle is retractable and a little wobbly but I think it will hold up okay. Wheels good. Some weight to the case but confident it will bode well for protecting our investment. I recommend this case if you need a lot of space.

Big case that's perfect for storing my tripod, lighting stands, camera bags, etc. Of course, if you take it with you on the airplane you'll get a $50 oversize fee (and another $50 if the weight is over 50lbs); but you won't have to worry about your gear getting crushed. As far as I can tell, all Pelican's claims re: the durability are true (and this is my 4th Pelican case).

I use the case for my audio package. It's roomy enough to fit everything I need for a "basic" set up and I can ship with no worries. Pelican is also a procdut I've used for years and I've always been happy with their performance.

It's bulky and big, but does the job- my gear landed safely. The casters and the pull make it easy to move- I managed to get it in and out of airports without any trouble.

We are using this case to ship two monitors and stands. Its very easy to handle for its size and very secure.
It would be great if it were 5 lbs lighter but Pelican is typically on the lower end of the weight:size ratio.

I have 2 cameras with flashes and extra lenses. I needed something that was durable and easy on the back. I have been in the military and have used back pack stlye photobags in the past. This Case keeps my equipment safe from dust and severe conditions that can occur during assignemnts to inclement weather and high altitude. I have hurt my back and I rely on the ease of the handle with the wheels. I also like the many latches to secure your equipment. Two places to lock your case with padlocks. Laptop fits too.

I have two uses for the case... 1) transporting my radio controlled airplane across the country(with the foam inserts fitted to the parts), and 2) carrying audio gear (cables, mics, laptop...) for a small band. The case is very heavy duty, and was made to take a beating. I love the solid feel of it, and how good it looks. The only thing I don't like is the weight. At 36lbs, it is quite massive, but that can be attributed to the strength it delivers. Then again, if you are using this case, weight is probably not as important as strength. When I put something in this case, I know that it will be in perfect condition when I open it.
