Product Description

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.

Pelican 1550 Case with Foam for Camera (Orange) Review

The search for a gear bodyguard is over. I've started doing more location photography and wanted to upgrade my bags/cases for three main reasons:

1) Better protection in transit

2) Easier management and accessibility of gear

3) Consolidation of gear to reduce number of bags/cases to haul around

This case solves all three needs quite nicely. It's just deep enough to store body & lens together, and some items can be nested or stacked to optimize space (for example, one of my larger flashes is stored horizontally with spare batteries nested in the bottom foam layer). I was worried about fitting everything in this case, but I actually have enough room left over for another lens.

Here's a generic list of everything I was able to comfortably fit into the Pelican 1550:

-dSLR + attached wide angle zoom lens

-additional midrange zoom lens

-5 flash units

-6 flash transceivers

-pano head

-4 spare AA batteries

-portable field recorder

-misc (wb card, spare sd cards, flash filters, trigger cable, flash feet)

Hints for successful packing:

1. Plan ahead! Draw up a diagram, cut out shaped templates, whatever you need to do to get the foam plucked out right the first time. It will save the headache of Super-77 repairs or the old "painting yourself into a corner" syndrome of haphazard packing.

2. Use a smallish bread knife to easily cut through the perforated foam. Yes, it's called "pick-n-pluck", but the foam squares are still connected pretty securely. I finely serrated knife will make quick work of it. Pick a knife with symmetrical serrations (like this /\) as opposed to right-angle serrations (like this /|).

3. Remember that your gear can poke out of the top a bit. You have about 1 1/2" of space above the top foam layer that is taken up by the lid foam, so utilize that space to reduce gear movement and take advantage of that extra space.

4. Pimp it out! Order some vinyl lettering and put your company name on the outside of the box. Or just get a biohazard sticker for the front and add a pair of handcuffs to the handle.
