 Exactly what I was looking forJul 31, 2008
By V. Parsons
I wanted to take my camera equipment with me on an Ozark canoe float weekend, but needed a sturdy waterproof case to protect it against bumps and (especially) water. I ordered this case, and have been completely satisfied. I had no trouble customizing the foam padding to accommodate my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi, a 100mm macro lens, a 18-55mm zoom lens, a 75-300mm zoom lens, a couple of spare batteries, two watches, and my car keys for this trip! The fully loaded case floated high in the water when I tested it. The latches took a fair amount of effort to open and close, but this was actually pretty reassuring when risking expensive equipment on the water. It opened and closed easily enough for me to manage while sitting in a canoe on a moving river without losing my paddle or my fishing rod. All of my camera equipment stayed dry and undamaged after spending two full days on the river. Had my canoe overturned, I have no doubt that my equipment would have been fine. That said, I should have bought the orange or yellow version rather than the black one as it would have been easier to find had I had such an accident.

Built like a tank like all Pelican cases, a bit snug for a Nikon D60Jun 28, 2008
By Jason Heiss
Like other Pelican cases I've owned this thing is built like a tank. The new latches are nice, it's still a very solid operation to latch and unlatch the lid, but a bit easier now. The pluck-apart foam is great, makes for a very clean looking cavity to place your equipment.
I got this case for my Nikon D60 based on a review of a 1200 in a different color that said it fit the D40 (which is the same size as the D60). It's a perfect fit in the horizontal directions, but I do wish it was a half inch taller, as the D60 pretty much compresses the foam all the way when closing the lid. Nikon lists the height of the D60 as 3.7" and Pelican lists the interior height of the 1200 as 4.12"
Of course that's not a defect with the case, I could have gone for the 1300 which is almost the same size in the horizontal directions but 2" taller. Or the 1400 which is 1.5 - 2.5" larger in the horizontal dimensions and 1" taller. But my mom has the 1300 for her Canon XTi and it seems quite bulky, so I think the 1200 was the right choice. Pelican's are rock solid so I don't worry about the case getting crushed and squishing the camera.

Solid, Rugged, All-Purpose CaseJun 04, 2010
By J. Lewis

For years I'd used Halliburton cases, even developing a product that included a C-105 case that housed our portable video presentation system. At the time that case was about $45, but well worth the expense. By 1990 the price for the Halliburton shot up to nearly $500 for the same case. I still had a couple in stock that I continue to use today, but I needed something equally rugged but more cost-effective. Enter Pelican. The 1450 was advertised at a price less than the cost of re-foaming one of the Halliburtons. This was a no-brainer.
12 years ago I bought that yellow Pelican 1450 Case to ship delicate video gear between Texas and Washington State. It usually traveled as air freight because time was critical. I needed a case that while being absolutely indestructible, would protect its valuable contents extremely well. The highly visible yellow made it easy to spot on a shipping pallet or baggage belt, and pretty unattractive to potential thieves. The addition of a padlock keeps everything secure inside, and while it may not be too attractive, it is supremely functional.
I bought it to transport an expensive video recorder, but time and technology have moved on and I've repurposed the old Pelican to carry my Canon DSLR. While it travels primarily by car now, it is still comforting to know that it won't be crushed by a shifting load of gear, or filled with dust and grit on a shooting location. Would I buy another? You bet! Newer models are even better, with a padded handle and provision for a second lock. It's the best case on the market for anything near the cost.

Warning: Not as picturedJul 29, 2007
By shirokuma
Just an FYI: The picture Amazon is showing with wheels and a handle is incorrect. The Pelican 1510 "Carry On Case" is the case they have pictured here.
Pelican cases are great. We use them at the company I work at to ship computers around. They have never let us down.

 OK, but with basic faults.Jan 17, 2010
By Paul S Boyer

I have owned a Pelican case for years. I cannot figure out why the O-ring is in the lid, and so flops loose when one tries to close the case. We replace the ring every year with an official Pelican O-ring, and it is always the same. Gravity just drops the ring out. It usually takes several tries to get the thing closed.
Second flaw is that the two snap closers are extremely tight in closing and in opening. I bang them with my fist to close them, and yank with all four fingers to get each one open. The sudden snap sends one's hand into sharp parts of the case, causing minor injuries (cuts).
I really think that simple engineering could make a better design. There is no reason that the O-ring should not fit in place by its own friction.
The boxes are mostly waterproof, but we tested ours several times, and found that some water did get in if the case was dropped into the water.
The O-ring must be new every year, and must be well greased with silicon grease. Warning: silicon grease is not generally available in back areas. Look in professional plumbing stores in urban regions. Be sure to test your case with weights equivalent to the items you wish to carry in it, to make sure that it will float if it goes overboard. For marine purposes, you need a brightly-colored case. A modest green or black one will likely be lost as soon as it goes into the water.
In spite of these defects, I have used my Pelican case to protect camera equipment when going by boat to remote islands. When you are on a small boat, you should pretty much assume that things will be receiving spray.
