Reviews of Flashpoint SealTite 1510 Water-Resistant, High-Impact Hard Case

Customer Ratings:

This item is very similar to those made by several other manufacturers. Comprised of a hard, industrial plastic shell that is tough enough for a 220 lb. man to jump on top of (if you know anyone like that.....ahem.....). Although I didn't sink the case to the bottom of the Atlantic, I did throw it into my pool for a couple of minute. The foam stayed bone dry on the inside.

The diced plucking foam (is that a word?) doesn't seem quite as high quality as that made by one of the "other" brands, but this case cost less than half the competition's case, so I will take it.

The only thing that seems less durable about this case is the handle. The handle built-in to the "other" brand's case is made out of the same industrial plastic found on the shell of the case. This case uses an "add-on" aluminum telescoping handle that probably won't stand the test of time quite as well as the body of the case, but this is pure conjecture on my part. I would definitely buy this case again, and I couldn't be more pleased.

I bought this to keep my Einsteins safe when they travel. Two Vagabond Mini's and two Einsteins plus cyber commander and other doodads fit just fine, I added extra foam pieces for additional protection. Next step will be to buy a foam block to cut to fit.

TL;DR at end :D

I use this bag to store my Canon L lenses, gripped pro-size body, prime lenses, and flashes. I use it as my carry on for airport travel and as a storage container at my house.

I love the price. I didn't need something that was a mobile doomsday shelter for my lenses but wanted something that would protect my equipment from impact damage, protect from humidity and minor water/liquid spills, and is lockable. It does all of these, which is great, and at a price cheaper than others it is a great deal. If you are a semipro, student, enthusiast, freelancer or are buying your own equipment, then it has a great price/performance ratio.

-It comes with precut foam-core which you can just rip along pre cut squares.

Downsides, things to know about it:

It does not seem watertight/waterproof. The name says water-resistant but the description says water proof. It is only resistant to water, aka i don't think it would be airtight when submersed in water. There isn't a rubber gasket around the lid. Another choice might be better if you are going to use this in scenarios where your case could fall into the water.

Extension handle/luggage handle is "meh" quality. It isn't the strong black plastic but is like grocery-store tripod quality. This really isn't an issue since I don't really care about that aspect of the box. Luckily you can dismount if from the box, if you need to, without compromising the integrity of the box.

To keep completely locked you should use two locks (i use tsa locks) because if you only lock 1 of the latches a potential thief could pry open the opposite side and steal a lens or two from that side.

TL:DR

Great for semi-pros and price conscious, only real downside is that it is not water tight, and you need to use two locks for maximum security. If your gear is in danger of being submersed in water, spend some more money for a completely watertight hardcase.
