Questions & Answers

JOSEPH D : is this the one I can cutoff the foam to fit my equipment?BREAKOUT A : Yes - as long as you order the model with pick and pluck foam - you will have what you need. there are two other model options that I know of - one comes with a divider kit - made from a variety of pieces of different sizes with velcro so that it can be configured in many ways. The other model is empty (no foam and no dividers).RICHARD M : Yes, some of the foam is pre-serrated to make it easier to remove and a cleaner lookTHOMAS G : Yes you can customize the foam. It is preset to tear at roughly 1/2 inch sections. I use mine to transport underwater camera equipment and love it.GRANT L : Yea it has the cubed foam that can be modified to fit your equipment.PAUL L : Yes. The foam padding consists of precut cubes that you can remove in any configuration you like.James A : Yes, this model has cubed foam which can be customized to fit your equipment.BARTON B : I forgot what it came with, I am using the divider kit for my camera gear . It is sold as an accessory
Shopper : How much does it weigh?PAUL L : Weight 22.49 lbs (with foam) 20 lbs (w/o foam)THOMAS G : The weight without foam is 20 lbs, with foam 22.5. I use it to protect my underwater photography equipment when I fly. When packed it weighs just under 50 pound meeting the airline weight requirements. Love the caseROBERT G : If you purchase the case with foam dividers ( which is the best way to go) it weights about 23 and a half pounds. It keeps your equipment safe and secure. The pull up rolling handle is a real back-saver. You have to cut out the foam spaces for your equipment to fit into. But that way, it becomes uniquely yours. Been using mine now for about 3 years and it goes with me on all my wedding gigs.RICHARD M : I got this from the Pelican Website: 1610 Pelican Case. Features: Watertight, Crushproof, Airtight, Wheels and Retractable handle for easy transport! 1610 Case Specifications: Exterior Dimensions (L x W x D) Interior Dimensions (L x W x D) 24.71" x 19.58" x 11.93" (62.7 x 49.7 x 30.3 cm) 21.68" x 16.62" x 10.56" (55 x 42.2 x 26.8 cm) Lid Depth Bottom Depth Total Depth 2.06" (5.2 cm) 8.50" (21.6 cm) 10.56" (26.8 cm) Weight w/Foam Weight w/o Foam Buoyancy Max. 22.49 lbs. (10.2 kg) 20 lbs. (9.07 kg) 119.93 lbs. (54.4 kg) Range Temperature No. of Wheels -10 / 210° F (-23 / 99° C) 2
Shopper : Are the wheels replaceable?PAUL L : Yes, they are replaceable. You must order them directly from Pelican Parts.BARTON B : Looks like a special rivet. There is a flat head on the outside, not a screw head. The other end is inside the case molding, no way to get to that end. Could be done, but not easily. Probably best done by manufacturer.WILLIAM P : You would have to contact pelican for a direct answer but, it would have to have a lot of miles to wear out the wheels. It is a great case. I have used pelican cases for years and have never had a problem.ELIYAHU O : Hi as for the asking on the Pelican 1610, for me is the best investment I made, It's a grat case and have lots of space, it contains almost all my gear, I fitted inside, 2 cameras one with 70-200, one with 24-70, 3 flashes, 5 Pocket wizards, 50mm lens, 85mm, 16-35mm, 15mm fisheye, and I still have a narrow free space, I didn't bought the divider, I used the foam that comes with it, I would recommend to buy the organizer as well. Hope this information eat helpful.

Plenty of room

Excellent room for my lights, drone and additional lens. Very protective and secure, but also large and hefty. Just be careful on how much you load into it for traveling.

Fantastic tough case.

The 1610 is a fantastic tough case. I love it although, if I am flying, I use the 1510 since the 1510 fits in the overhead compartment. The 1610 has additional handles and locks because of its size. Great for securing my photographic equipment.

Great case for easy transport and protection of sensitive items

Great case. I use it for weapons and optics transportation. Easy case with wheels to bring my gear back and forth. The perforated foam is great for customization of how you'd like to store your equipment. Also everything in there feels really safe from physical damage and water damage. It also has two places to place locks for more security. Highly recommend this case.

Pelican 1610

I use it to store and transport my telescope mount (Celestron AVX). Using the plucked foam, all pieces, except tripod, fit very nicely and in one place.

Solid quality throughout

It's only a matter of getting the right size as these are excellent. I use the foam inserts and these are a nice quality pick and plus foam as well. Maybe someday we'll see a lighter weight version, but other than that - not much to do that would make it better.

Pelican 1610 review

This is my third Pelican case. It’s well made as is to expect from this manufacturer. By far it’s my largest case and your equipment will be protected. Due to its size it is not an option to carry on the plane. Overall I am very happy with this purchase.

Lifetime Guarantee

Pelican makes the best cases. This is my second Pelican case. The first I bought for my camera bodies and lenses. The second I purchased for location lights. These cases are great! They are very tough, wheeled, and sealed. As others have said, they aren't light. Hence the wheels. If you're going to buy a case, go with a Pelican.

Solid Case

Solid standard pelican case. Great for hauling through airports. My only complaint is the case itself is quite heavy. But I guess that's what you get from such a sturdy build

Tough, mobile, spacey

I love the size of this pelican case. It is perfect for our trade show accessories and something we can use over and over again. It keeps everything nice and snug and protected without any worry of fragile items breaking during transport.

Great for storage

Basically this is exactly what you should expect. Solid, durable. Well constructed. It is a bit deeper than I would like for camera gear, but is working. My primary objection is that the storm iM2720 is basically the same case, but better latches, better wheel system (IMO). So there is nothing wrong with this case, per se. Except Pelican themselves make one that is likely "better."

I have 5 DSLRs with 5 lenses and assorted accessories in one 1610 case with dividers and all my sound equipment in a 1600! I needed another 1610 with dividers for a new u/w housing purchase for my 5DSR. There's plenty of room and discounts help!

Another great Pelican case!

I bought this case as a much more durable alternative to the traditional suitcase for travel. I originally bought a Pelican 1510 for that purpose but found that I needed something bigger. This thing is able to swallow up an impressive amount of stuff and keep it protected from the elements and airline baggage handlers. The option to lock the case with padlocks is a plus for me, keeps the honest people honest. I know using these cases for transporting clothes and stuff isn't what they were originally designed for, but Id rather spent more on a case that will probably last me the rest of my life than having to replace suitcases all the time. Plus without the foam, I can make my own organization system that works for me. For the times I have transported delicate things, these cases work great for that too. Helped a friend with his photography equipment and the case kept his lenses and all that safe while it bounced around in the truck, just remember to use good straps to secure the case down, not bungee cords like we did. :) All in all, worth the price of admission. Id recommend these cases to anyone.

FEATURED REVIEWS

Bulletproof construction

By M.Ding

The Pelican 1610 with dividers and wheels (a.k.a Pelican 1614) holds the bulk of my photographic equipment. I use it for transporting my gear to and from location shoots. It is large enough so that it can hold a multitude of lenses, pro SLR camera bodies, flash gear etc. You can even fit the compact Manfrotto 3373 light stand in it. The case is deep enough such that lenses like 70-200mm ones can be stored standing up(hood stowed of course) and tall DSLR bodies like the Nikon D3 can be stored...

Son says it's great!

By Tim T.

Bought this as a birthday present for my son. It was on his wish list. Having seen the case recently it appears to be just what any photographic enthusiast/professional would want that has much equipment to store. Son is happy too. Because of it's size it will be a concern when all equipment it carrys isn't necessary, or when space is limited. Therefore a smaller case may also be more preferable.
