Comments about Photoflex Photoflex Transpac Dual Kit Case, for Transporting 2 - 3 Location Lighting Kits Plus Additional Accessories.:

It's not great, but there aren't any other alternatives near the price range. The roller-skate wheels grind under weight and don't roll well at all; the zipper is terrible quality and is hard to zip; The whole thing is awkward to roll when it's fully loaded; and the lid can move up or down about 1" due to the zipper, which means anything in there can be crunched if it's at the top.

I bought this to consolidate 6 bags into one rolling and make things easier on my back. The thing doesn't roll well and it hurts my back even more due to the awkward center of gravity. Next time, I'll get 2 large Pelicans instead of this XL Photoflex.

 
Not a Pelican, but decent.

Comments about Photoflex Photoflex Transpac Dual Kit Case, for Transporting 2 - 3 Location Lighting Kits Plus Additional Accessories.:

I bought this to make 5 photography bags turn into one case for easier travel. The thing is, the more space you have, the more you pack in it, and the heavier it becomes. It's not light to begin with. Combine this with tiny rollerskate wheels and it's hard to roll easily.

The first case came with a hole punched through the top of the case, so I had to get a replacement. They're no pelican, but it is hard-sided and the protection is decent.

The zipper is on the top of the case, not in the middle like the photo shows. This is a good thing. The bad thing is that the zipper is low quality and does not zip/unzip easily. You have to pull on the lid to make it zip/unzip easier.

Not a Pelican, but the closest thing I could find.
