Pelican hard case with dividers.

[jwbryson1]

I was looking at this case as a way to store my 2 camera bodies, 5 lenses, 3 speedlights and all the other associated crap that comes with the territory. It's watertight, dust proof, indestructible and looks cool. I planned to store my equipment in the basement where it's cool and has more moisture than upstairs.

Does anybody own a case like this or have an opinion as to whether this is a good way to store equipment long term?

Thanks!

Indestructable, fire-resistant, waterproof, dust-proof - all sound like good long-term storage attributes to me.

Get 2 or 3 of the Pelican reusable desicant packs too to keep in the case. - Pelican 1500d Desiccant Silica Gel

I only ever owned 10 or so Pelican cases over the years.

I own a 1510 for travel and a 1600 for lens storage. Love my Pelicans.

I just ordered this one in orange! Love it!! Can't wait to take it through the airport and have people wonder "WTF is in that case?"

Query: Why is this case more expensive? It's nearly identical but smaller! Why more expensive than the bigger one?

Make sure you leave early, to give yourself time for "security delays".

Also, when the TSA is groping you, make sure you don't get aroused.

The dude has the perfect name for that article too - Percy Cummings. Percy Cummings' was cumming when the TSA was feeling up his piercing. :lmao:
(Got thrown to the ground and arrested for it too.)

1. How can this be a crime?
2. The guy's boyfriend's name is Sergio Armani? Is this a joke?

But, back to my original question before I was hijacked by my fellow Texican ( :mrgreen: ), why is the larger case less expensive? Any ideas?

cant' really go wrong with pelican, skb or storm....whether for cameras, firearms, or other equipment.

Did you get the orange one, or was that just the first link you found or something? I could see that on a boat or plane, but I don't know if I'd want a big bright International Orange camera case...

I don't have one, but I want one, lol. We use them a lot at work (half the time, the case costs more than what's inside it...), so I get to play around with them a lot, I just don't have one at home.

My guess is the same reason tires in common sizes are cheaper - the larger size is probably just a more common size, thus - they make more of them, lowering the per-unit cost.

Put a radioactive decal on it too. I deal with TSA all the time and they struggle with normal baggage. Can't imagine them trying to figure out anything

Now that would go good with the orange case...
