Review on Pelican 1560 Camera Case - Foam Included (Desert Tan) - Enhanced SEO by Vincent Pavelko

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable Pelikan quality!

What I really like: The hinges are "staged", so the lid holds. That's a good thing, because then the hinges don't tighten like they sometimes do when the lid falls back. The case is much larger than I expected and might actually be too big for my use. I had a hard time finding anything big enough to have a handle and wheels. It is also very deep and consists of two separate layers, each several inches thick. They cut easily with a very sharp knife and retain most of their integrity even when sliced fairly thin. So as long as you keep at least two "blocks" wide between each notch/cavity in the body, the foam is strong enough. The only thing I don't like is the wobbly extension handle (like a suitcase on wheels) - it feels strong enough but very flexible and I wonder how it will hold up when the suitcase is full of heavy things. Still a five star deal. :)

Pros
  • Pelican housings are sealed with a tongue and groove fit and a polymer o-ring.
Cons
  • Negative is available
