I use this for a Nikon DSLR (D300) and I love it. I can fit the camera, a couple of lens' and all the accessories (flash, extra battery...). I almost went for the larger 1500 but it seemed a little to big to carry around easily so I went with the 1450. I can pack a couple of zoom lens' and I am covered. Good size, well made, Great Case :)

We needed a case to protect a $20k electronics module for a race car application while it's shuttled around the world "by train, plane and automobile". This is it.

We've shipped and gotten units back from all over; scuffed, bumped, marked up and beaten to hell without a scratch or damage of any kind to the hardware inside. If you need to protect it, this box will do it.

Highly recommended.

I must say that this case is as it states, water tight and air tight.this is a wonderful storage case for Camera Equipment,especially in Bermuda were the humidity reaches 90% plus in the summer. I use this to store my Rebel Xti and Accessories, I also use the metal silica gel can dehumidifier to keep the humidity down... Wonderful investment..

This is a quick review as I just received my Pelican 1450 Case. I bought it for my photography equipment (Canon 7D + 4 lenses). It's just the right size for me and I think I can actually fit all four lenses in the case (70-200f4L, 17-55 f2.8, 85 f1.8, 7mm fisheye). I plan to carefully cut the foam and see how it goes. I'll update the review later.

The reason why I'm writing to you before I've even used the case is because I found out about another case that's just about the same size, a little lighter, a bit cheaper, and looks a little cooler (superficial I know). Here's the Amazon link HPRC AMRE2400F Superlite Vault Hard Case with Foam (Black)

I wish I would have known about it before I bought this one, but I'm not that upset. The Pelican is an awesome case.

I have two of these Pelican 1450 cases -- one for firearms and one for my DSLR camera gear. This is an outstanding case for either purpose. For camera gear, the foam inserts are removable in little cubic square increments, making it very easy to configure the case to hold camera, lenses, flash, and other accessories. For pistols and revolvers most users will leave the foam inserts intact, as the case holds pretty much any handgun snugly, with just the right amount of pressure, without modification. I can pack a couple of pistols and some clips no problem.

If all of that is not enough, I also use one of these for transporting portable amateur radio gear. It is perfect for this.

For any purpose, firearms, radio gear, or camera gear, this case provides a secure and lockable way to transport one's equipment without worry of physical shock to the equipment, or problems with water or humidity. These cases are watertight and very safe against the elements. This is important to me, as I often transport my camera gear in an open dinghy in coves and harbors, where the wind is apt to spray water on everything. This case has been 100% proof against this. Firearms don't like water or moisture either, making this case an ideal solution for transporting one's firearms.

Replacement foam inserts are readily available for this case, by the way, so one case can serve multiple functions.

A quality Made-in-USA product. Highly recommended. RJB.

This is my second Pelican case - the last one I purchased back around 1994 - and this one is still going. The camera & lenses have outgrown the old case. These "new" cases (considering my old one is 18yo)are better with the new catches and the plastic seems to have changed as well.

I am very happy with it - hell I will even admit to playing with it by opening it and rearranging the gear just to muck around with it.

It is my intention to get another bigger one soon - but the only problem for me is the freight charge for the bigger ones. Shipping from the USA to Australia is expensive for the larger cases. But as long as the Australian distrubutor overcharges then it is always cheaper to purchase via Amazon even with the freight charge.

If I lived in the USA my house would be full of Pelican cases - I wouldn't have drawers I would have a stack of Pelican 1500's. Now if only Pelican made a box around the size of a small house....

I have a few different pelican cases for different equipment and I've always been impressed, but this is the first case I've planned the use for from the ground up. I map disasters and response routes. I'm using very advanced software that is very expensive per license so I only have it on one dedicated machine. It had to be portable and cheap to ship to where ever I needed it yet secure from theft and damage. I chose to use a mac mini with a pelican 1450 case. the case has room for the mini, my 11' macbook air, a realtime GPS tracking unit, adaptors for the ports to maximize connect-ability, the power cord, a small bluetooth keyboard and wireless mouse. It works perfect though the case layout and modification of the pick-and-pluck took a little trail and error. Needless to say I have no issue throwing my locked pelican case in the back of a truck, the USPS, or checking it on an airplane because I know that it will come out in one piece.

Purchased the Pelican 1450 case to store sensitive electronic equipment. We already have (8) of the exact same cases that have been in use for as long as 5 years and other than a few nicks and scratches they continue to perform flawlessly as when they were new. If you want a tuff case to store almost anything, Pelican is the product for you!

Best pistol case ever. Holds two pistols and a couple of clips. Built like a rock. Locks securely.

The pelican case I purchased meets my needs. However the picture does not reflect accuracy of the product. It was advertised with foam but was featured with the padding instead.
