Been using Pelican cases for the last 40 years. It was time to upgrade and the holiday prices on the B&H website were too good to pass up. Will see plenty of abuse while I’m working in support of DoD.

See any errors on this page?

question

I have a sony hxr-mc2000u. Would this case fit comfortably?
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes this case will fit your camera. Might be just a little snug. The Interior Dimensions of this model is 20.37 x 15.43 x 9.0 (WXDXH), and your camera is 10 x 18 x 9.1 . You should be fine. Plus the foam on the lid section will cushion and protect the camera

Is this a good case for securely locking up your camera gear in a car or are there better options?
Asked by: David
The Pelican 1560SC Studio Case is an excellent Watertight, Crush & Dustproof hard case with an interior dimensions of 19.9 x 15 x 9". We are sorry we can't comment if this case is secured if you lock up your camera gear in a car.

I fly with this as a carry-on every week and have for 8 years, It fits in every Delta overhead except a Canada Regional Jet. It is technically too big but so close that it works.
