question

Will the pelican 1520 fit a canon eos-1ds mark ii upright? The camera is 6.2 inches tall; just wondering how it will fit with the foam bottom. I want to put it in lens attatched.
Asked by: Anonymous
This case will not be compatible with your Canon 1DS. I would go with the Pelican iM2075 Storm Case with Foam. This would be a better and deeper option. Website link to the 2075: http://bhpho.to/18ZM2XK

question

Would this case be suitable for a Panasonic Hvx200?
Asked by: Joshua
This case would not fit that Video Camera. A better choice would be the Pelican 1510 Carry On Case with Foam Set. This would fit the model perfectly. Website link: http://bhpho.to/1hIyHVj

question

Has anyone used this case for a NightForce TS-82 Spotting scope? I'm concerned about the 82mm Objective lens not having enough padding. It's approximately 4.25 in diameter.
Asked by: David
I am using this case for my vortex razor HD 27-60x85 spotting scope, and it works just fine imo.

question

I have a 5D Mark IV. Does it fit sitting vertical with a vertical grip?
Asked by: Nick H.
I have the 5DR with a Vello grip which came with the camera and I'm guessing that it is more or less the same size as the Canon grip and the answer is...No...it does not fit attached to the camera comfortably in the case. C
