Review on 📷 Pelican 1650 Camera Case With Foam, Black: Ultimate Protection for Your Precious Equipment! by Susan Foley

I now have 3 Pelicans and plan to buy more in the future. I bought a Pelican 1500 case at the same time as a 1650 and have owned a Pelican Air 1535 for about 4 months. I run a small video production company and use these cases to store and transport almost all of my gear from body to camera and lenses to microphones, monitors and even tablets. The 1650 is a very large case and for me it packed a lot of equipment. As for "constructing" the inside of the case with "pick and assemble" foam, I took some advice from others on the internet and used toothpicks to mark the dimensions of the hardware before proceeding with the actual assembly and reassembly . The best decision I made in this case was to order the Pelikan Lid Organizer 1659 at the same time. I've yet to install organizers in the lid of a 1535 or 1500, but after realizing the convenience of throwing spare batteries, cords, and other small items in the lid organizer (rather than a separate bag or backpack), I want to I look at Anyone who has experience with a Pelican case can tell you how great the build quality is. Of course, these drawers are built to last, and I never worry about storing them in my multi-thousand-dollar appliances, especially when they're lockable too. These cases are incredibly strong and built for easy portability, and the 1650 is no exception. It has two sets of dual casters on the bottom edge of the case, as well as a retractable handle that makes rolling the case easier - an absolute must for this case as it's too big and heavy to lift and carry anywhere. The body is deep enough that it actually has 2 rows of pick-n-pluck foam instead of 1 row (which the 1535 and 1500 have). I was able to take advantage of that depth with a few elements, notably the suction cup mount, slate, and track system. I've attached an image to my review to give you a better idea of how big this body is and how much it can hold, and now I'll break down the hardware inside for the curious: - Canon EOS 70D DSLR - Canon EOS Rebel T3i DSLR Body - Canon EF 17 - 40mm f/4L USM Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens - Rokinon CV85M-C 85mm t/1.5 Lens - Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera - Aputure 7" Digital LCD Monitor - Matte Box - LP-E8 battery chargers (2) - Suction cup mount - 1/4" mounting stand - Hot shoe stand (x2) - Plastic storage box/organizer/holder for AA/AAA batteries - Colored clapboard (22.9 x 27 .9 cm) - 160 CN-160 LEDs Video Light (x2) - Opteka Follow Focus - Opteka 15mm rod system I was able to fit a lot of stuff in the organizer on the lid, mainly extra batteries, extension cords, monitor sunshade, drystall pins/ Marker wound, band e, cords etc.
