Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will a MindShift Gear BackLight 26L pack fit into a Pelican 1510?

A: Yes, with the foam inserts removed from the Pelican 1510, and depending upon what is packed into the MindShift Gear BackLight 26L backpack. Empty it should fit fine, full is not guaranteed.

Q: 2. Does it come with a lock and key?

A: No but it has a place to use a normal padlock you would have to buy that separately

Q: 3. Does the padding give enough protection to the equipment if you need to check in this case on a flight? Thanks!

A: I would think so how ever I would argue with check in staff and make sure the airline takes full responsibility for damage and theft. I have seen checked bags thrown 2 -3 meters on to utes at airports in the US some landing on the tarmac on the other side of the ute. with 18kg of camera stuff inside the bag I would be supprized if any case would offer protection. I had a bag once that was completely demolished Im sure it would had to have been driven over to cause the amount of damage. So take it onboard.....

Q: 5. Will this fit in an Explorer 5122?

A: No it will not. They are about the same size. My Pelican case has been everywhere. The desert, Mexico, the bahama's. Everywhere in Florida, Colorado, and Michigan; even in the winter. Also it has been on the go shooting weddings, Senior Pictures, child portraits, and every sporting even you can imagine shoot for the newspaper. Still working great! I would not hesitate to purchase it again. The wheels on the explorer are questionable. The Pelican had stood the test of time.

Q: 10. Is the Pelican 1510 case waterproof?

A: Unfortunately even the manufacturer says its just watertight. I would have to agree with them because of the Automatic Pressure Equalization Valve.
