Pelican 1510 Case With Foam (Black)

I gave this a 3 star rating because of its size. It does fit within the airlines 45 length + width + height requirement, but some of that is wheels and handles. The result is an inner compartment that is about 2/3rds of the size of a normal soft carry-on bag. You can actually see how small it is in the video if you are looking for it. It may suffice for a two day business trip, but only if you are only changing your undies.

After my luggage that I’ve had for the last ten or so years finally bit the dust at the hands of the airlines I decided to try and find something more durable as a carry-on bag for work which led me to this bad boy. First off I travel for work no more than five or six days at a time and this more than suits my needs for five days of cloths, toiletries, and a second pair of shoes. This case more than does the job for me and the looks I get at the TSA checkpoints bring a smile to my face when asked to put it through again as if I’m hiding something in there with my weeks worth of cloths. On the plus side it doubles as a stool when seating in the terminals is scarce. I found that it fits in just about every over-head compartment from the smaller jets to the larger ones. 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 side somehow it magically becomes a smaller case to the gate agents and you can sneak it on without the pesky tag and gate checked luggage wait. After a few trips so far I haven’t noticed any issues other than a lacking of ground clearance with the tiny little wheels they decided to throw on there and the one time I received it after it was gate checked one of the latches decided to pop. I’m sure there are many better uses for this case from drone protection to camera or specialized equipment but hey makes one hell of a carry on for cloths, haven’t seen another traveler yet with one especially not in the desert tan color. If you need an over kill of a five to six day carry on for cloths or you need something to protect your camera gear this is the perfect sized case, not too large and heavy you regret getting it but not so small you can’t figure out how to use it. Would definitely recommend this case as far as longevity I can’t say but if it’s anything like the other pelican products I own I’m sure that I won’t be disappointed.

A top tier case. Worth every penny.

Strong, high quality, tough as nails.

The case helps all photographers to organize all of thier items in one place. Eventhough its big, but easy to move with

Like anyone makes a better case. Snaps shut, rolls around well (bigger wheels would be better, but would then get in the way), holds my stuff.

I have been waiting to get a good case for traveling. Since I am going to Europe for 10 days in November i finally went ahead and got this case. Its heavy duty. Looks small on the inside but fits a ton of stuff. I got it with the pluck foam or whatever its called. Horrible. Im not a fan of that. Also Im not a fan of the dividers that involve velcro. So i searched and found a company that was formed by Kickstart called TrekPak. Awesome small business. They have a kit for may different types of cases so i got the Pelican one. I actually ordered another strip just in case i cut wrong. But its made to fit your gear. But so easy to move back and forth if you get new equipment. It like a firm foam with a plastic insert in the middle. The insert has holes and that is where you put a pin with red tab to connect the pieces together. The pins are very study.

Pelican cases. Do I need to say anything else!? The are the best cases that you can find. Highly recommended

Great case, rolls nice and holds a lot of stuff just used it on a trip and fits in the overhead on the plane perfectly

Simple and plain, if you are a work sound guy or video guy or camera guy this case should be part of your arsenal.
