Pelican 1500 Case With Foam (Black)

This is a bomb proof protective case that I use for storing and transporting telescope eyepieces. The case is expensive but worth the money if one wants the best.

I really like pelican cases. The pick and pluck foam is fine, but easily changed for Kaizen Foam if needed. The protector cases are solid, and well engineered, with some weight for protection. The 1500 case is a great size for so may things from photography with cameras and lenses, to laptop computers and all the things that go with them. It looks and works great. Fast delivery and well packaged.

I love this case- it's unbelievable!! It's perfect for a scope, camera or other valuable optics, guns, etc. I wasn't sure if it would protect my Zeiss Spotting Scope, which has an objective lens of 85mm. Without the eyepiece, it's 14 inches long. It fits just right, and leaves about 2inches of foam on each end for protection. I wasn't sure how the foam would work, but it works like a charm.The foam is really easy to set up. You just lay your item in the case and as they suggest, you can use toothpicks or chalk to outline your item. Then you can remove the foam to perfectly fit your item, depth and width. Plus you can save the foam you remove for future use as needed. The case is super strong and waterproof. Well worth every penny!!I and I'll be buying more soon.

I purchased this case in 2010 to use for my camera equipment, including a Canon 28-300mm lens, for a week long trip whitewater rafting down the Colorado River. It withstood everything and kept the equipment dry and safe during that trip. The case is extremely bouyant and had more bouyancy than my life preserver, so it would float on down the river if it had come out of the raft (but it didn't because I strapped it down). It is not light weight, which made the hike out of the Grand Canyon more intense than it would have been otherwise and I do not recommend it if you are planning to do any hiking with it. I have been using it as the main storage for my DSLR since that trip and it has proven to be very durable and the foam on the inside is great protection for camera equipment. Outstanding case; waterproof; durable; easy to open and close.

When it comes to cases, you get what you pay for - and this case is worth it! Solid construction, snaps closed very firmly; I'd trust it to protect my gear if it got dropped, and protect it from the rain. I use this to store my Borg 76mm refractor, which perfectly fits the width of the punch-able foam with all accessories after the focuser removed. There is also room for the clamps, the long and short tubes for attaching 2" and 1.25" eyepieces, and one of those little Televue red-dot finders. The foam squares are easy to remove to customize the shape of the foam to perfectly fit your gear. I'd recommend removing them in chunks because it's easier, and then you can put them back in later if desired. Highly recommend!

Great case, fits my 7D camera body plus 2 longs lenses, and 4 smaller lenses. Foam is good for designing a cosy fit for the equipment. Perfect size for me and good depth. But when its packed it is heavy and there are no wheels - this case really needs wheels and a handle for when you are travelling - especially carrying other bags - im not sure how im going to be able to carry everything!

I bought one of these cases during a special pricing offer. The concept was to use it to house my GoPro camera and all of the mounts and accessories I have collected for it. The choice of a bright yellow exterior was made to help me keep track of the case, and therefore help safeguard the contents. That seems to work very well! Plucking out just the right number of foam cubes is really easy. For small items like spare batteries, I removed a rectangular shape, and use some of the cube-tube sections as a filler/cap to keep them from bouncing around. So, I really am very happy with the Pelican Case. It holds the toy I got for Christmas, and all the other goodies very well, and the yellow makes it hard to lose! The snap closures seem very solid. I hope to have this case (and the camera) for many years.

Holds up to 16 TZ tapes of various sizes, the labeler, instruction manuals, USB cable, CD, and AC Power Supply. As always, well protected and rugged. The pluck and pull foam was easy to use. If you put the time into it, you can create some very nice setups with the foam. If you cut any of the foam to varying heights, be sure to put the messy (cut) side down where it can't be seen so you end up with a nice, smooth professional bottom for your components. This also adds strength back into the remaining foam pieces. Use a hot-glue gun if you need to (re)secure any of the foam back into the case. Glue on the bottom for a professional finish. This also adds a little more rigidity to the foam compartments. Pelican will absolutely honor their warranty (and they are serious about not covering damage by children under 5 - don't ask me how I know) :P. To replace, you will need to send the old case in at your expense and they will repair or replace the case. The pluck-n-pull section is made up of a grid of 30x19 1/2" foam pieces, and the usable area (with foam) is 4 to 4.5 inches deep. (the foam is 4 inches deep and you can have roughly 1/2" of product poking above the foam). The pluck-n-pull section contains about a 1 inch perimeter of foam that is not pluckable and there is a 1" foam pad that is used for bottom support beneath the pluck-n-pull section. With foam, you have a workable area of roughly 15in. x 9.5in. x 4.5in. The 1500 case is a great general purpose equipment case, and is legal as carry-on for travel. These are basic guidelines that should be roughly true for all Peli cases with the pluck-n-pull foam. It would be nice if they published more details about workable area with the foam, so hopefully these details will help someone looking for the right sized case.

Excellent quality product.

Es mas caro que otros similares pero la diferencia se siente. Si no lo avientas y lo tratas mas o menos bien estoy seguro que lo podré heredar. Lo uso principalmente para lentes de cámara , los proteja muy bien y sobretodo no tengo problemas con particular de polvo

Best case ever!

レンズ3本と、レンズ付フルサイズ２機入ります。 スポンジと違い、劣化する事はなさそうなので、永く使えそうです。 また、防湿庫代わりにも出来そう。

Does the job well
