Questions & Answers

LOU C : Can you get a lid organizer for this model?  I looked on the Pelican website and this is not the current model.
SUE P : Is this case appropriate for a 4x5 camera?MICHAEL A : Although I have zero experience with the 4 x 5 format, this case is plenty big. I would 'assume' there would be plenty of room.Jack E : I'm not sure, mine is used for dslr and lenses.... Go to pelican "dot com" contact page; toll free customer service numbers for east and west coast, as well as a dozen other countries. Good luck.PAUL J : I am able to stand a Nikon 70-200 2.8 on end (8.5 inches) in the case. Depending on the size of your kit, I would be concerned with the camera not fitting due to the constraints of the dividers and 2 length wise partitions. I am able to (tightly) fit a Nikon 200-400 with hood (135mm diameter) between the partitions. None the less, the case is top quality and does hold a lot of equipment and I have traveled extensively with mine and it has been subject to -60 in the Arctic Circle, salt water waves in Iceland, and the test of any case - the airport!
Wendy S : Is the 1610 able to be carried on airlines?LISA L : I love it but I wished I had a got a smaller one because it is a lot to carry around. It is to big to carry on a plane. It does hold everything I have so I put everything in it and know where it is. If you are planning on taking it with you places you might want to get a smaller one.CURT W : The 1610 exceeds the allowable dimensions by quite a bit and tends to get very heavy besides. The 1510 exactly fits the allowable sizing box and is much more convenient. I have used it a few times when I knew in advance that all large carry-ons would have to be gate-checked on small commuter planes.RENE D : It does fit in most overheads, however, if you have several lenses and a couple of bodies it will NOT pas weight restrictions. I have flown British Air a few time with this case and they have checked as a heavy item with no charge. Everything arrived in one piece, even the case itself was un-marked. The case can't be beat for heavy duty use. Also use the TSA locks just in case.MARION DWAIN S : The 1610 is a heavy case. It can be carried on airlines but has to be checked in. This is not a carry-on case. The pelican 1510 is the carry-on case.ALAN E : Yes, but only with the other large luggage stored underneath in the cargo hold of the aircraft. But, this is too large to be considered carry-on luggage for the passenger seating areas. Simply looking at the dimensions of the case should show this to be obvious.JAMES R : Yes, however not as a carry-on - can only check it.VINCENT B : It is too large for all airlines and must be checked. If you are looking for a carry on hard case go with the 1510 series. It is perfect and airline approved carry on size.SHERI J : It is too large for a carryon bag but you may be able to use it as a checked bag. The 1510 is carryon size.ALAN B : I have never tried to carry this case on an airplane. My group ships the case to locations for conferences. The maximum size carry-on bag for most airlines is 45 linear inches (the total of the height, width, and depth of the bag).GEORGE GARVIN P : It would be too big for a carry on. As luggage, yes, but make sure your equipment is extra, extra padded. I dropped this case from a height of about 1.5 ft. once and broke the LCD on my 5D mk III. It will probably get rougher treatment than that at an airline. Personally, my cameras and lenses come on board with me in a backpack I carry on.BRYAN M : No. The 1510 is the biggest pelican you FCM carry on. It is designed to the max dimensions allowed by FAAKEN K : it can be checked but it is too big to carry on the plane with you. it gets heavy quickly. for most airlines 50lbs adds an extra $100 or so.

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.

Sigma 150-600mm

Very good quality lens. For your long shots, this is a very good lens. I have paired it with the Sigma 2x multiplier and it produces very good photos.

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 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

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.
