Questions & Answers

RAYMOND M. B : what is the diference between the im2500 and the pelican 1510?ANNIE K : The Storm Case im2500 is a stronger more durable case and withstand impact better than the Pelican 1510. For a lot of airplane travel I would recommend the Storm Case.KIM C : I use this case to carry all my mobile lighting. It could be used for many purposes. It is durable and is easily rolled around to different location shoots. I didn't want the foam dividers that the other case offered....I want the flexibility of loading the case with larger items like light stands, light shapers, umbrellas, extra flash units, etc...MIKE L : I imagine you have compared sizes so I'll just discuss the difference that makes me choose an iM2500 over the Pelican. The wheel/retractable handle assembly on the Pelican case(s) is flat on the back side. The wheel/retractable handle assembly on the Storm case(s) has a recessed area between the handles. I use this recess area to make a quick release mount for motorcycles. I've had several clients that would have preferred the Pelican 1510 because you can get the nice Laptop Overnight option. <a href="http://www.adorama.com/PL1510LOCB.html" target="_blank">http://www.adorama.com/PL1510LOCB.html</a> Otherwise the construction and quality of these cases are the same. Hope this helps.JUSTIN L : The im2500 and Pelican 1510 are nearly the same size, shape, etc. Both cases are meant to satisfy most airline size requirements for a carryon overhead bin case. The im2500 is made for a slightly less destructive environment, making it lighter in weight but it does not meet the same temp, crush, depth, etc. stats as the Pelican 1510. The same stats for the im2500 are slightly less. Both are very sturdy though. However, the im2500 that I received only comes with one handle on the side, NOT on the top of the case (as it stand when on its wheels). The Pelican 1510 has two handles, one on the side and one on the top. My opinion is the top handle offers more convenience, for example when using it as a typical carryon case at the airport. Think of how often you move your bags around getting to your flight, and then how quickly you want to put it in the overhead bin before getting in your seat. The 2nd handle placement adds convenience.ARNT H : As far as I know, the latches are better on the storm cases. The Pelican latches have a reputation as knuckle busters - not sure if the design has changed. The im2500 works fineCHRISTOPHER W : The iM2500 Storm case is just a lighter duty version of the normal Pelican 1510 case(different kind of plastic used). Both have the o-ring in the lid and the pressure equalizer valve, but they do have different style latches.
Jerome N : do you know how to get replacement wheels?JOSEPH G : Do not know.

Good value considering the price

The build quality as expected from Pelican, however the quality is closer to the Air line rather than the Protector line therefore I mainly use this case for my audio gear which is less expensive than the cameras and lenses,

Great piece of protective gear for transport

Very sturdy and high quality case. The wheels and handle make transporting equipment a breeze. Now I don’t need to stress out as much about damaging expensive equipment.

Sturdy and solid

It's well-built, sturdy, and can take a lot of being thrown around. I use it to transport my camera equipment as check-in luggage, with TSA locks of course. I also use it to transport my camera equipment on the go, when I have to film elsewhere. It literally takes a lot of the weight off my back, as the wheels are really useful. I only wish the handle were a little longer, but it's fine as it is.

So good I bought two

Pelican cases are the only brand I trust for my camera gear. I just bought a bmpcc 4k and this case is the perfect size for the camera, lenses, and all my other accessories. Plus it's carry on size so I can take it with me anywhere. Highly recommend this case.

Love the Pelican im2500 storm case

The case is built tough. It holds two DSLR camera bodies, external flash, extra batteries, a 100-400mm Lens and a 70-100mm lens. Some other extra accessories. I feel this case is the best to protect my gear.

My go to carry on case

Mine came with the yellow padded insert so I swapped it with the black padded one from my 1510 case. This case is superior to the 1510 in almost all ways but most importantly wheels and handle.

Built like a tank!

Incredible case. It is rock solid and looks like it could take a real beating! If it just had locks, then I'd buy another to use as a travel case and let the baggage handlers have a field day! Haven't tested the water-proof abilities, but I'm sure it would be as claimed! Overall, despite it's kind of heavy weight, I'd highly recommend this case, especially with the free shipping offered by Adorama!

All in all, a great purchase at 49% off MSRP

Got a great price from Adorama on this case. It's a super case that will hold 4 Lumix G system bodies with lens attached plus extras like chargers, batteries, flash, etc. My only minus on this deal was that the case was described as having 2 long padded dividers and 15 small cross deviders. Instead, the case came with only 1 long divider and 9 cross dividers. Even the picture on the Pelican box shows the case with the 2/15 divider setup. Customer service said that is how the case is made now, the listing needs updated, and I could send it back if I wished. I decided to keep it since I put everything I wanted into the case and 4 large and 6 smaller compartments worked out well. The padded dividers do provide good protection between items and the foam padding in the lid hold everything down well. All in all, a great purchase at 49% off MSRP.

Great case but dividers are different than in specs.

Received the IM2500 case and it's just as described in previous reviews with one exception noted below. The case itself is durable, water-tight, well made and extremely tough. An excellent size too. However, one should know that with the divider set you get one long divider than runs the length of the case and nine shorter dividers that make the compartments. Thus you can have 11 possible compartments. Four of the short diveders are about 60% the width of the case interior and five are about 40% the width. For cameras, lenses, etc, this is not really a problem because I would not want a bunch of really little compartments. I use Lumix G 4/3 systems, so I can get 4 bodies with lens attached and a spare 45/200 telephoto plus extra accesories in this case. If you use full-sized DSLR's then probably 3 bodies with normal lens plus a couple of long telephotos will just about fill the case. If you want the case for small delicate items, then I would suggest the case with foam interior you can customize to your needs or you will not have enough individual small compartments. The dividers I received in the case are thick enough to provide good padding between items. I think I will have to include this case in my will because it looks like it will last forever. A great buy at the Adorama discounted sale price.

I love the case and yellow color for visibility. It does not have the cubed foam, but does have smooth foam. I would surely recommend this product.

Pelican Storm case

Planning to use the product as a demo/sample case for our products for our sales people in the field. The heavy duty construction of this case and compactness and professional look makes it ideal. Like the fact that 2 cases can be 'locked' together back-to-back using a simple strap.

Great price on this product.

This is a perfect size to use as top case luggage on a motorcycle. I make custom motorcycle modifications and provide this to my customers. It is waterproof, lightweight for it's features, easily transported, and is airline carryon qualified. Not a better product out there for my uses.

Durable Case

I purchased this case to hold portable lighting kit for speedlights. It is great to roll to photo location. It hold just what I need. It can be a little heavy to lift. Difficult to roll over uneven terrane which may require lifting it to the location.

Excellent protection

As a commercial photographer I am often asked to travel in order to conduct a session. Because I use PCB Einsteins which are not available for rent at most agencies I carry them on flights in this case. It will fit four lights and protects the gear well. I don't like to leave anything to chance so being able to carry both my strobes and camera gear on board gives me a very secure feeling. I could not be happier with this case.
