The case is a little heavy, but has to be for the great protection it provides.
As the number of my gear grows I need a solid case so this case is the second 1510 I have bought because it has protected and continues to be great protection for my gear
This is a great case, even greater protection for my Cam Corder and collection of cameras
Excellent design, well made strong case and superb protection
EXECLENT CASE, GREAT FOR TRAVELING, GOOD PROTECTION FOR MY GEAR...
Not really happy with what is deceptive advertising, as the sizes were off as well as not including the accessory bags which are clearly visible in the picture
I love the size and strength of this case for all carry on travel on location.
A TOUGH CASE, WELL BUILT, GREAT SIZE FOR CARRY ON LUGGAGE
This case is the perfect size for airline carry on yet tough enough to get into the pit of the aircraft

The durability and protection of a hard pelican case, and the compact size I can take anywhere, and not look like I'm transporting hazardous materials.
Genuine Pelican 1510 case, I expect it to be as durable as all Pelicans I’ve had.
I have several Pelican Hard cases all manufactured with heavy duty components, tight seals, in this case wheels, etc.
If you have ever had a pelican case you know there tough
Shame on you Pelican for putting such a shoddy product on the market.
The handle is a little awkward to extend and retract but doesn't change my rating at all
My only concern is the handle seems a little "sloppy" and not firmly in place
The handle and wheels worked well and made it easy to pull through the airports
Trick is how do you get past the gate agents when boarding without having to gate check this beast....simple solution I found is collapse the collapsible pull handle and carry it from the
It has wheels and a handle long enough to be comfortable for a 6'-4" guy like me
When it comes to protecting things that you truly care about and can carry, make sure you get a "Pelican Case" to protect it
I highly recommend this thing as it's a photographers wet dream to fit things in
This thing is a tank and holds everything in my camera collection with ease.
The only thing that could be improved - wheels are very noisy over some surfaces
It doesn't fit every last little thing I had hoped to cram in there, but it did allow me to consolidate a camera backpack and 2 random camera bags into the one case after removing a few insignificant things
Yes, I've tried sandwiching my gear between clean T shirts in a hard case
I went to organize the Pelican Case again and after handling the Velcro inserts my hands turned beet red and I again had a severe allergic reaction with welts and hives all over my body.
Again I have nothing against pelican cases...but there is something on those velcro dividers that caused a severe allergic reaction in my body

I would suggest you try to leave these 2 seams untouched as they will give the foam a tiny bit more rigidity
When I saw the case on the deck I expected my gear is gone, well I opened the case and ALL contents were bone dry as was the interior of the case
This size case is big enough to hold a generous supply of tools and still meet the weight limit of airlines for checked luggage plus its still compact enough to not be unwieldy
Appropriately so for its sturdiness, but with a common airline weight limit of ~22lb, anything but a small amount of light clothing will put you

You may have difficulty on overseas carriers with overhead weight limits if you have heavy glass and extra batteries in your kit.
All to often you get to a connection that informs you that the regional aircraft you are about to board has an undersized luggage compartment and that all but small personal bags would have to be checked.
Even if the plane went down your luggage would be recovered
The handle itself it too wide to slip on it these carry-on bags which feature a strap to put around your luggage handle - too bad
That's a big no no, because you never know if the airline might lose your camera luggage or if someone might steal it
Now it works as it should and it runs much smoother and feels just right and has not showed any signs of deterioration of the rubber
A typical packing list that I can fit consists of my laptop, hard drive, and accompanying cables and accessories, two pairs of Carhartt double front dungaree pants for the field, five field shirts, five pairs of hiking socks, enough boxers to see me through the trip, plus a small toiletry kit
I carry 2 camera bodies, 3 lenses plus all the CF cards, hard drives, cables, etc in this case.
The guys beat it around when the found out it had delicate hard drives in it but they still work fine.
So, how much can it hold; well I have 2 Canon 5D Mk2 bodies, 70-

Still had to do some messy foam-cutting for the ideal laptop-layout
(do a quick search on youtube and you will get my point) so resorted to a small thin blade saw, still managed to goof up the first foam cuts but the second time around was much better
Yes, I've tried sandwiching my gear between clean T shirts in a hard case
Once I picked up my case the only damage was a slight ding or cut where something sharp must have sliced a bit of the case off
