Pelican Protector Cases are made with Copolymer Polypropylene, using an open cell core and solid wall construction, which is stronger and lighter that the completion. You can tell its a Pelican case by the distinctive "twin-ribbed" top surface. Stainless steel pins are used for hinges and handles. The new Double-Throw latches are much easier to open.

Me encantó, ha sido muy funcional, todos estos años que lo he tenido me ha permitido mantener mi equipo al 100 aunque vivo en un lugar tropical, con arena, agua, humedad y demás cosas que pueden dañar al equipo.

These cases are great. They are kind of heavy and are not cheap but neither is my camera equipment. If I have any concern it is that they kind of advertise that there is something pricey inside, but I keep a very close eye on the stuff. Also can be locked and attached to something sufficiently securely that a thief is going to have to come prepared with tools and have some time to spend. I use a good old fashioned long shackle padlock and chain ;-) I now have two of these.

I debated between 1520 and this 1550 before buying & was looking for a quality case for a Vortex Spotting Scope & Tripod ,After receiving this case I was very pleased with the almost perfect fit & still had plenty of room for a camera adapter & remoteNot sure that choosing a hi visibility color for a spotting scope was a very smart decision but was planning to camo it anywayBut the perfect size & quality of this case makes up for it

Pelican is the premier case for photo stuff. Have one already and the wife has one also. Needed another for my new digital stuff and older FX lenses. Works great with the pick and pluck insets. My camera bag is lighter now that I no longer have to cart around a ton of glass. Well worth the bucks. JCL

Pelican makes the best quality storage and transport cases for equipment. They are compact, strong, and extremely durable.We have several cases at work that are about ten years old. They've been shipped across the country multiple times and survived manhandling by TSA, FedEx, and other sausage-fingered gorillas. They still work well and have plenty of life left. The stainless steel hinge pins still move easily even after getting dirt, water, and dust on them several times. The hard plastic shell doesn't scratch easily and seems to resist cracking. The front latches still close securely after being used over and over again. These are the only kind of cases we will purchase for important equipment in the future.I have no idea why the desert tan version is cheaper than the other colors, but it looks good.

It is very good quality. Fit and finish is excellent. The foam is of high quality and should last a long time. The latches are somewhat difficult to snap down but certainly this is to provide a very positive and secure closure. I like the metal lined holes for locking the lid shut and it's also good to run a cable lock through to lock this to something stationary. I'm only giving it 4 stars because I think they are a little overpriced.

This is perfect to safely store many handguns. You can easily fit 6 of them in there and have room for extra magazines as well. The pluckable foam on the bottom comes in 2 separate layers that make it easy to pluck out spaces that will perfectly receive every handgun regardless of their sizes or shapes. The egg-crate foam on the top is very soft and will not create problems for handguns that might have red dot optics on them.The case is very strong and sturdy, the latches lock tightly without any loose in them. This is definitely a great purchase if you care about your handguns. 5/5 would buy again but I never will need to because these things last forever!

Having tried, unsuccessfully, the soft case route, I've discovered what photographers have known all along: Only a decent hard case like the Pelican will SAFELY transport your equipment. While my DJ lighting fixtures are nowhere in the same cost neighborhood of camera bodies and lenses, I DO need to arrive at gigs with my equipment intact, and NOT with broken parts. Not only does the Pelican line of cases offer complete protection of lighting units, but I am able to stack these on my cart for transport into event venues without fear of them sliding loose and hitting the pavement. Also, in the event it's difficult time-wise to get these back to my vehicle prior to the start of an event, they look profesh and low-key stacked behind my DJ station. I've equipped myself with three of the 1550 units and ma considering more. Working professionals owe it to themselves to have quality cases in which to house and protect their tools of the trade.

I own seven Pelican cases and have always liked them enough to spend the extra money to purchase them. I also just purchased a 1524 with this 1550 unit. The 1524 arrived with the top convoluted foam cut a little small, so each time I open the lid, the foam falls out. Not that big of a deal, just irritating. I contacted Pelican and explained the problem. They could care less, and absolutely refused to exchange this one piece of foam. I guess a piece of replacement foam would cut into their profits too much. They just lost a good customer. There are lots of other quality cases out there which are more reasonably priced. Try one of those instead of Pelican products.

Huge box, I use it for my DVX100B and all related film equipment. I could drop this thing from an overpass or use it for hand to hand combat and it would protect the cargo perfectly. Solid handle design will never break.Pick and pluck foam is FANTASTIC! It's the next best thing to having an expensive custom cut. Be sure to use silk fabric between the foam and your expensive equipment, as the foam has tendency to flake off in very small pieces. Note: this is not a design flaw but the nature and density of the foam itself. Water resistant a plus, solid rubber seal compressed with solid case latches, however, the wife looked at me funny when I went to give the case a bath... could I blame her?Pelicans seem to be worth the extra 30 bucks and (hey look) made in the USA so the polymers won't degrade, weaken and crack after two years. Fine job - I will be getting more for my permanent storage items I no longer wish to keep in wobbly Tupperware muy Grande.
