Huge box, I use it for my DVX100B and all related film equipment. I could drop this thing from an overpass or use it for hand to hand combat and it would protect the cargo perfectly. Solid handle design will never break.

Pick and pluck foam is FANTASTIC! It's the next best thing to having an expensive custom cut. Be sure to use silk fabric between the foam and your expensive equipment, as the foam has tendency to flake off in very small pieces. Note: this is not a design flaw but the nature and density of the foam itself. Water resistant a plus, solid rubber seal compressed with solid case latches, however, the wife looked at me funny when I went to give the case a bath... could I blame her?

Pelicans seem to be worth the extra 30 bucks and (hey look) made in the USA so the polymers won't degrade, weaken and crack after two years. Fine job I will be getting more for my permanent storage items I no longer wish to keep in wobbly Tupperware muy Grande.

Needed a good case for storing fragile eyepieces and other optical gear for a telescope, this did the job to a tee... now I can give those components the "drop test" and they'll survive, AND I now have a convenient way to store a dozen little breakable odds and ends. Inside there are two layers of the "pluck" foam, enabling you to create deep and shallow compartments.

For those who need the detail -I wondered when I bought this -the actual useful dimensions, when you take out the top, bottom and side padding is 18 inches across, 12.5 inches front to back and 5.25 inches top to bottom.

I have always trusted Pelican when it comes to cases for expensive and fragile items. I purchased this specific model for the Canon XH A1 1.67MP 3CCD High-Definition Camcorder with 20x Optical Zoom. It fits perfectly (get this model, the 1500 is too thin). Be cautious and plan well for the way you pluck the foam because mistakes cost time and money!

Honest reviews on Pelican 1550 Case with Foam for Camera (Black)

Measured the case twice and it is on the ragged edge of carryon size limits.If you just measure the case it is fine,but Do they count the ridges and latches area?

Time will tell but it may have been a better idea to buy the next smaller case if you want to be sure.

The maximum combined linear measurement (length + width + height) of carry-on bags must not exceed 14 inches x 9 inches x 22 inches (23 x 35 x 56 cm) or 45 linear inches (114 cm).

20 by 16 by 8.5 inches=44.5 case only

I love these cases. My first pluck foam case. Amazing build period. I don't worry about the safety of my audio recording gear. I have a hyper cardioid mic, small shotgun, audio recording, and small tube pre amp all in this little case and still have a bunch of room to grow. LOVE IT.
