Review on Pelican 1520 Camera Case With Foam in Desert Tan Color by Chad Carter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Comfortable, adjustable and nearly indestructible

These cases are all you need when you are looking for a durable carrying case. I have used various Pelican cases for many years and have no complaints. This block comes with Pick N Pluck foam, making it very easy to attach items of almost any size or shape. While it's great for protecting most items, be aware that it doesn't work very well with very heavy items that tend to compress the foam and move around. For those considering purchasing stiffer foam from various vendors that offer pre-cut solutions. The Pelican warranty was great and I've used it a few times to replace parts that were damaged in transit (handles). This case comes with 3 layers of foam; a pleated layer in the lid, a thick "Pick N Pluck" layer in the middle, and a thin layer underneath. If you want to store small items, you should keep the parts you film and crop them to change the height. Replacement foam is also available should you decide to reconfigure your case: Pelican 1521 Replace the 3 piece Pick 'N' Pluck Foam Kit for the 1520 case. It is available in a variety of colors and with the following optional accessories: Pelican 1525 Padded Divider Set for 1520 Cases, Single Layer (Black)
