What's not to like, guaranteed, built like a brick........, sure its heavy so what? it holds all my gear, and room for expansion.
1 5D mkll, 1 5D mklll, 100 macro, 15-36, 24-70, 70-200 all Canon L glass, 1.4 50mm, 1.4 extension, macro set up(including tripod) from RRS, canon twin light flash, couple of speed lights, misc galore. For me once it's latched it's one thing I don't have to worry about when transporting and laughs at dust/water/muck
I would do it again. Get the lid organizer with it, it really helps get and stay organized.

This is a big case, bigger than I thought but it works perfect for an on the go photographer! The only downfall is the dividers need to be a little more customizable

I am planning to go for the extencive travel at the begining of May. So far the quality and the durability of the product looks very very good. The real test of this "Pelican" is about to begin. If you interested to read my review on it then check my Flickr account in June or July of this year. Search for Vladimir Naumoff. I am traveling all Canadian North Country.

Tough and durable! It fits four 1600 Alien Bees, and my Vagabond Mini, plus a few other things! It is so tough actually that i dropped it on my foot (which may or may not be broken, hehe!) Really is fantastic though!

I have a 1510 travel case that is also excellent but I outgrew it for everyday storage. I still use the 1510 but have to decide what to bring. The 1654 is BIG and holds all of my equipment and more. I would never consider another brand!

We use this case to transport our camera equipment to and from weddings every weekend. We know it is protected and will be safe inside the case. We would recommend this product to everyone and know, without a doubt, that we will order another one in the future.

I was able to fit most of my gear in the this case, and after lock down all the tabs you know it is safe. Worth the price, for the peace of mind.

It's huge. It can store a LOT of things so be careful not to overload it. The case itself is something like 30 lbs, so the whole package will go up to 60+ lbs very quickly. Excellent Pelican build quality and design is as expected. Excellent if you have a large kit to take to location. You can set the case down and your camera department is right there in front of you.

Well built All around. Handles, pulling handles and double wheeled in particular. I feel very confident that my equipment within this case is well protected.

I purchased a Pelican 1654 to serve as a large-format "tool box" for the work I do installing A/V systems. The size of this case allows me to carry all of the hand tools I need during the average gig, as well as a cordless drill and it's charger, a heat gun, small soldering station and a huge assortment of useful parts. The included divider set makes keeping all of this "stuff" as organized as I can manage. The extending handle and double-caster set provides for easy rolling across the average parking lot, arena floor, etc...
Two downsides to this case: The size of the lid requires a piece of foam so large, that it tends to fall out when the lid is opened. It could be attached somehow, perhaps to the included accessory mounts. I plan on ordering a tool pallet for the lid from another manufacturer, to use instead of the foam. (Pelican should take note of the opportunity for a new accessory here...)
The second potential problem is not necessarily Pelican's fault, but an obvious opportunity for user error: You may find it easy, as I did, to fit so much in this case that it quickly becomes REALLY HEAVY!

I purchased this case to carry my computer equipment which is mobile and could not have found a better one for the durability and price.

I use this for wedding photography. Needed a sturdy case as opposed to the lowpro stuff and this is a great product. Its a beast. VERY heavy...actually broke my lcd by dropping the camera on the case. its a great buy and very strong. LOUD noises when latching the 7 latches. Be sure to wear protective footwear because this case weighs around 75lbs with all my gear inside and can be dangerous if mishandled or dropped on a foot. Has a rolling handle that bends a little but looks easily replaceable if it breaks. The other handles are strong and the design is smart. This is a very good buy. This one won't make it on a plane but honestly if its packed right, i wouldn't even worry about checking it in.

I bought 9 stations of com and needed a case to store them in....buy a pelican, of course. This is the 7th pelican I've purchased, need I say more!

Overall this is a great product. I got it specifically to hold my lighting equipment and actually ended up having the room to place camera gear in as well. Overall REALLY pleased with the product.

Comments about Pelican 1654 Waterproof 1650 Case with Dividers (Black):

These definitely helped in better organizing the contents of my 1650 Pelican Case. I strongly recommend them for securing lenses, strobes, pocket wizards, camera bodies and anything else that may be potentially damaged if not properly secured.

I questioned the cleanliness of the product when it arrived, as when I was removing it from its packaging, much of the velcro material retained some kind of white material, potentially packaging material from the warehouse it was previously stored in. Although the product was new and properly sealed, I did prefer to clean some of the velcro before placing it in the Pelican case.

Additionally, because it it such a large case, it may be wise to invest in a secondary set of dividers as I found that many of the smaller dividers I used rather quickly, although this will obviously be subjective to your preferred layout of the dividers and your equipment.

Pelican makes a fine product and this is no exception. This box is HUGE! Almost too big to work out of. I've yet to arrange the dividers to my satisfaction, but no more lack of room for gear. This product comes with a lifetime warranty and that's exactly how long this thing is built to last.
