Pelican 1610 Watertight Hard Roller Case, No Foam

Bought this case for a dive vacation in the Caymans. I have used pelican cases in the military, and I can assure you that your gear is secure from the rigors of travel in a pelican case. The only drawback is that they are heavy. I was able to pack a BCD, reg, fins, mask, wetsuit booties and dive light and the combined weight was under the 50 lbs that the airlines require. I did not take any weights. This is my third pelican, and would not buy any other case. Virtually bulletproof.

Very nice product to protect camera/video gear during travel. The case is very sturdy, but because of the 23 lb empty weight you can be limited on how much you can load it with due to the 50 lb airline limits, otherwise you pay over weight fees. The Pelican 1615 divider set I prefer for camera packing. This divider is very adjustable, durable, and better than foam over time.

The case is a good choice for taking along your gear. I have been a Pelican fan for years since I transport quote a lot of video equipment in these cases. YOur dinig gear (which is expensive) must be protected, specially by the unconsidered handling of lugage in air terminals. Pelican cases are a bit pricier than other dive gear bags but the additional protection is worth the price. I also purchased a set of pelilocks whic on my first trip were easily bent by tsa personnel. So due to regulation dont bother with this customs locks. Lock the case with large sturdy TSA compliant locks. Dive gear is always checked becasue by TSA personnel, so you gear bag will always be opened by them.
