Pelican 1620 Reviews

Excellent price, excellent product, excellent customer service !!!

Case is great; dividers not so much

The 1620 case is the quality that I would expect from Pelican, but I'm thoroughly unimpressed with the padded divers for this case. I have a 1610 with padded dividers, and it seems like those have many more configuration options than the dividers for the 1620. There isn't a single divider that spans the width of the case (the ones for the 1620 came with at least two) and the bottom of the divider shell is only set up for Velcro attachments in select areas (the bottom of the 1610 dividers could have the Velcro attachments applied anywhere). I've Frankensteined the dividers to allow for what I'm planning on primarily storing in this (a Nauticam Canon R3 housing), but it's not nearly as nice a fit as the 1610 dividers allow for.
