Review on πŸ“· Pelican 1650 Camera Case With Foam, Black: Ultimate Protection for Your Precious Equipment! by Jerry Toscano

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Big. GIGANTIC. best in camera bags

The thing is huge. The size ratio for Pelican cases is usually very conservative when it comes to estimating the amount consumed versus the amount of storage provided. But this is a pelican, how can you not love it? I use it to store all my DeWalt cordless tools, batteries and accessories. One thing about this suitcase that might be off-limits to some is that it's very heavy when empty. You have been warned! This is my first (of many) Pelican case with wheels and a retractable handle. I'm 6ft 4 inches tall and almost uncomfortable using rolling luggage carts. I usually only carry things by the handle. This is long enough to be usable. has a lot of slop. It obviously doesn't apply to the rest of the case, just the handle. You can probably remove it and just use the short handle of the case, but then it's hard to manage. On the bottom for a handle, but I think , it makes sense. It just seems like the entire luggage handle mechanism fell victim to rush or trial engineering, as it's not very critical to the functionality of the case itself in terms of protection.

Pros
  • Pelican housings are sealed with a tongue and groove connection and a polymer O-ring.
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish
