For years I'd used Halliburton cases, even developing a product that included a C-105 case that housed our portable video presentation system. At the time that case was about $45, but well worth the expense. By 1990 the price for the Halliburton shot up to nearly $500 for the same case. I still had a couple in stock that I continue to use today, but I needed something equally rugged but more cost-effective. Enter Pelican. The 1450 was advertised at a price less than the cost of re-foaming one of the Halliburtons. This was a no-brainer.
12 years ago I bought that yellow Pelican 1450 Case to ship delicate video gear between Texas and Washington State. It usually traveled as air freight because time was critical. I needed a case that while being absolutely indestructible, would protect its valuable contents extremely well. The highly visible yellow made it easy to spot on a shipping pallet or baggage belt, and pretty unattractive to potential thieves. The addition of a padlock keeps everything secure inside, and while it may not be too attractive, it is supremely functional.
I bought it to transport an expensive video recorder, but time and technology have moved on and I've repurposed the old Pelican to carry my Canon DSLR. While it travels primarily by car now, it is still comforting to know that it won't be crushed by a shifting load of gear, or filled with dust and grit on a shooting location. Would I buy another? You bet! Newer models are even better, with a padded handle and provision for a second lock. It's the best case on the market for anything near the cost.

Knew Pelican was good stuff--but had forgotten how high quality everything about the cases feels. Less than a week after it arrived, found myself with thousands of dollars of camera gear in a leaky boat, with waves building. When we reached the point that even the photographer had to bail & pump, it was great to know the gear would be OK.Best Deals for Pelican 1450 Case w/Foam (Yellow)
After ordering 3 Pelican Cases to hold my Nikon D7000, this case is clearly the winner. The other 2 cases, a 1300 and a 1400 were just too small. I didn't get my case from Amazon and I paid more for it. But the place I got it from also sold the camera padded dividers. This is the way to go IMHO for holding DSLRs and Lens. I purchased this case as a camera bag for my motorcycle, so it had to be well padded, watertight, and lockable. A earlier spill in water killed my D200 which was in a Wolfman Expedition tank bag. That bag is water resistant to rain, but not in a submersion situation. I believe this case will protect the D7000 if it suffers a similar fate. But I insured my cameras and accessories anyway in case it didn't.Here is the case with the divider set 1450 Medium Watertight Hard Case with Padded Dividers Black
