Waterproof Cases For Cameras

I have a couple of these 1450s. I use them to store my cameras and associated equipment. These cases are waterproof, according to claims, and I have not had occasion to dispute this. I put desiccators in them, shut them, and feel that my cameras are protected from mildew and rust (I live in a very humid climate). I check the desiccators every so often and they seem to remain active for a number of months .... so the cases must be very water resistant, if not waterproof. The dividers are great and protect items in the case from bumping into each other when I carry them. They don't give you every possible configuration of compartments but I found them to work very well for a camera with a 70-200mm zoom, a couple more lenses, batteries and battery charger, a batch of filters, a case with some memory cards in it, and a few more items. I use these 1450 cases for storage as outlined above but I have another similarly built but larger Pelican case that I use for taking the camera equipment I need to horse shows. The dividers in all these Pelican cases were, in my opinion well thought out. I have been able to organize my equipment so I can get a things quickly. I might note in passing that a horse show offers a fairly hostile environment: lots of airborne dust and sand, often rain and mud, and a number of things that may jostle your equipment. The 1450 case has the same construction as the larger one. They are all good protection. I have never tried to float one of these cases. I think there is a claim somewhere that the 1450 case will. While I find this claim somewhat believable, I cannot verify it and, rest assured, I will never purposely test it :)

I have this product on three Nikon 1 series cameras as well as several waterproof binoculars.

Waterproof and protection for my cameras, lenses and accessories. Could not ask for better protection.

It is a great case for carrying your gear in a waterproof container, its also securable and spacious. The dividers are not as good as Think Tank Photo bags, but I can work with what I got.  I do wish Pelican would offer a yellow case with yellow dividers however. They offer about 100 cases but don't give you yellow with yellow as an option. I want the yellow case to set it off among other cases, and the yellow dividers to make small parts easy to see (vs. black/black). The case also has a lifetime guarantee which is huge to me.

There is a reason Pelican cases are expensive--they are extremely well made and fully live up to every single claim they make about durability and security. This is an excellent hard case that is fully weather- and waterproof. I have just returned from a full week in the Canadian wilderness with two of these cases, and the contents of these cases were fully protected throughout, including during the capsizing of a canoe. The case is extremely easy to operate, and has handy stay-open latch mechanism. It balances well when fully opened, so does not fall over backward. There are feet on two sides of the case, so it stands and is very stable whether lying flat or standing handle-up. When lying flat the case is fully flat on the inside, allowing you to stow, sort and arrange gear very nicely. There is a great deal of space inside. The case is very light. We put two, loaded, inside a single checked back and did not incur an overweight fee. Mind the latches. They make a distinctive click when fully engaged, so make sure you have fully closed the latch. After the trip, it cleaned up very nicely in a large sink with dish soap and water. Apart from the scratching, you'd never know it had been out in the wilderness. Also, now that the trek is done, I intend to use these cases at home, for valuable objects. Bottom line: this is an outstanding case, lightweight and extremely sturdy, designed well and fully waterproof. You get what you pay for, and you get it all when you pay for this case.

Durable, lightwieght and waterproof, these cases are great. I have 9 of them of varying sizes and everyone of them have been great. The puch-out foam is easy to use.

I've used Pelican cases for years - super-tough and waterproof. They are also made in the USA - something hard to find these days. I needed several cases for a project I'm working on and B&H had a great price. Very satisfied.

Very strong waterproof case. I have used my cases for carrying valuable equipment and as luggage. This particular case fits perfectly in the overhead bin on most planes. Can add two padlocks.

I got these cases to use as paniers on my motorcycle. They are a cheap alternative to aluminum paniers which can cost around $400.00 each.$ They are waterproof, duable and garanteed for life. If you break it, just send it back, and Pelican will give you a new one. B&H had the best price around on these cases and i received them in three days at a normal shipping level. Overall a great purchase all the way around.

Pelican cases enjoy a well-deserved reputation for being waterproof and indestructible. I have two, an 1150 for my digicam and a 1400 for my digital SLR. The 1400 holds the camera body (Canon 5D or 40D), a 28-135mm zoom lens, a 70-300mm zoom lens, extra batteries and charger, flash cards, and the user's manual. The pick 'n' pluck cushioning system enabled me to custom-fit both cases to their contents, even allowing me to put a piece or two back when I made a mistake. Now, after years of missing out on great photo ops, I can go on wilderness canoeing trips and bring back professional quality photos without worrying about bad weather, capsizes, or other mishaps. Truly a fantastic product!
