Pelican Air 1525 Case No Foam (Black)

LIGHTWEIGHT UNIT. I WAS WORRIED THAT THE CASE MIGHT NOT BE HEAVY DUTY ENOUGH. IT IS JUST FINE. I CARRY A SPOTTING SCOPE IN IT AND FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE WITH ITS SECURITY IN THIS CASE. LATCHES WORK GREAT, I BOUGHT THE BLAZE ORANGE AND THE COLOR LOOKS GREAT. MY SPOTTING SCOPE CAME IN A WONDERFUL FOAM PACKAGE, SO I JUST PLUCKED THE FOAM FROM THE PELICAN CASE SO THE SPOTTING SCOPE FOAM FIT IT. WORKED GREAT. WONDERFUL CASE I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER.

This Pelican Air 1525 case was the perfect size for my camera w/battery pak, 6-lenses, and essential accessories. Extremely durable and lighter weight than some of the other Pelican cases. The TrekPak Dividers are easy to install and do a superior job of safely separating my equipment. The perfect purchase for my needs.

I use this case to carry my Labradar and it works great. It has enough room for the labradar and it's tripod and and external power source.

Look, these are the best cases when it comes to transporting gear. Simple enough. With some fly dates on the horizon, I was tired of the ratty fabric case I was flying $800 of guitar pedals around the world in. This contains everything without my having to break it down, and I have to say with this bright color, I'm not going to leave it anywhere by accident.I've had several Pelican cases. They are the best.

Upsized to the slightly larger Pelican case after purchasing more gear...decided to also try out the new TrekPak system. GLAD I DID! Very easy to configure to exactly what I needed quickly and cleanly. The inside of my case looks like it came from Pelican designed to fit exactly my gear.The Pelican case is still a Pelican, although a little lighter. It is ridiculously tough and will protect my gear without worry. Yes, it is a little thinner than the standard Pelican case, but this is not going into checked baggage, dropped off a building, or run over by a tank. It houses all my camera gear, and I am relatively careful with it already - this is just rest-assured protection against damage from a drop or stuff falling onto the case.Make sure you take note of the case measurements carefully. The interior dimension includes the LID DEPTH in the overall depth. If you have some lenses that are too long to fit upright, get some foam to put in the compartment you build for it and will lay above the TrekPak so you can get it out.

I sent this back only because I thought it hit the boundaries of what would be allowed for a carry-on in travel. Am still looking for the perfect size for my camera gear. Otherwise everyone knows Pelicans are well made and the gold standard in case production. Get the version with the customizable felt separators. I wouldn't recommend chancing this as a carry on but it does well in any other situation. Pelican has a good, detailed chart for their bags showing which will pass as carry-ons and which ones need to be checked baggage. Before you purchase consult pelicancases dot com and make sure what you get is what you need. Some have commented here that they had no problem carrying on a case of this size, but I travel a bit on smaller regional jets and don't want to take the chance of having to surrender my equipment to an abrupt plane-side baggage clerk.

I am a nature photographer and I wanted a sturdy and waterproof case of a size to protect my Nikon D500 and 200-500 mm lenses on small watercraft. I've used Pelican cases for years and was delighted when they released this model. It is just the right size to protect my equipment when conditions dictate without being much too large. I plucked the foam to accept the camera and mounted lens giving them maximum protection from impacts on the case. The camera could be positioned to accept another lens or two if one were interested in having additional equipment in the boat.

I've traveled with two Pelican Air 1525 cases to carry two Elektron synthesizers + cables and never had a single problem at the airports. Excellent size and weight to walk with them or to bring them by metro or car. Lovely product.
