Questions & Answers

Steve S : Can you also pack a computer in this case all well as camera gear?JILL D : Added thought to my answer: of course I carried the Pelican 1535 on the airplanes, I did not ever check it. I wasn't going to wear my backpack with 42 pounds of camera gear through numerous airports . . . .JILL D : I ordered a foam piece between the lid and my laptop cushioning it and make sure none of my lenses or cameras poke up against the laptop. I flew from El Paso to Bozeman and back with no problem.SOPHIE B : It's technically big enough, but there is no specific place for a laptop. The dividers are removable but I personally wouldn't advise putting a laptop in this pelican.

Excellent investment for x-country wedding pro

As a wedding photographer who frequently crosses the country, this case has been my lifeline. I fit my entire wedding day kit in here, fly direct with this as my checked bag, and never have an issue.

Pelican to the Rescue!

No way was I going to wear my camera backpack through numerous airports, so the Pelican 1535 came to the rescue!Love the convenience and hard sides to protect my camera equipment. I bought the foam piece for the top, made sure no lenses or camera bodies poked up, packed my laptop on top and carried it on for a flight. Had no problems.

Pelican 1535

This case is unbelievable. I end up with more photography gear lately so I am ordering the 1635 soon. I will keep this one as my travel suitcases. One thousand percent recommend this case.

Great case for photographers

A great lightweight case for my photography equipment. I can fit two bodies, and four lenses including a big 200-600mm. Great quality and easy to open and close.

Industry Standard for a Reason

I have been dreaming of getting myself a Pelican Case for years - and as my first one this did not disappoint! It is the lightest option for Pelican's carry on cases, however I do still find it quite heavy. I use it to house my set of Profoto B10+s and it fits them and their accessories perfectly. A must have for professionals!

Good protect , good capacity

Solid case. Holds pro body , 80-200 , 17-35, 85 , 8-15 , charging and acc bag and flash (each in own padded bag ) & diffuser Have not yet verified overhead airplane compartment fit but quite a handful when full , nice that it rolls & has hard sides. Bag is quite rigid when full even when open and very solid when latched. Great protection with acceptable weight penalty.

Very Good Case for your Lenses

As far as quality goes, this case definitely keeps your lenses organized, safe, and well protected. This fits everything from my 14mm to my 200mm L lens. Slight downside is it doesn't really fit the lenses well with their hoods on, so I had to remove them. Also it does not fit my 70-200mm Lens, but it does fit all of my others. The little tags are nice too.

Love it! Durable and noticeably lighter

Durable and noticeably lighter than the 1510. I like how easy it is to customize the dividers multiple times until getting it right. The handles seem durable and well built. I would definitely recommend this product after one trip, especially considering Pelican warrantees them.
