A lightweight, highly modular, and reliable case!

I've been using this Pelican case for a few months now and have found it indispensable. I purchased this case to solve a few problems.

The telescoping handle for walking with the case is good, but for a tall person like me, it sometimes hits me in the back of my heels at the handle isn't long enough for my height. Also the wheelbase is rather narrow, so hitting a bump, or putting too much inertia into the case and cause it roll onto one wheel or just flip over.I chose TrekPak Divider Insert system because I had a very specific layout mind, and wanted the ability to modify it down the road should my shooting needs change. So that ruled the Pick-N-Pluck foam out. I probably could have gone with the padded dividers but ultimately liked how clean the TrekPak system looked. The TrekPak system is easy to install, but be sure to read the instructions, measure more than once before cutting, and mock your layout up before even starting.On a side note, I usually store my Canon EF 70-200mm L in the bottom left slot where the strap is pictured. But didn't need it on the last job, so I didn't have it there, but it fits perfectly.In the pictures I supplied, you'll also notice that I added Pelican 1519 Photographer's Lid Organizer for Pelican 1510 Case. I chose this because I have a lot of small accessories to keep organized and tools that I didn't want to carry around. So this was an easy add on. It's pretty low quality and nowhere near Pelican's level of quality, but it's held up well so far. I added my own paracord pulls as the zipper pulls are hard to see sometimes, and are small too.TL;DRPros:- Incredibly rigid and lightweight- Machined/molded to high tolerances- TrekPak Divider System is easy to install- Piece of mind for gear insideCons:- Telescoping handle is too short for me (6'3)- Wheelbase is narrow and case can rock off balance- Pelican doesn't make their own lid organizer like the one I have for this model at the time of writing

Best alternative to the video camera cases

I've had two video camera bags which have been great but for travel the Pelican case is so much better. My camera is a C300 mk II with the CN7x17 zoom lens. I can fit the camera, a mic, V mount battery, and charger in this case and know that it will all be safe in the back of the 4WD. Dust seal is good, case can support a small load if it gets stacked under other items. Easy to carry, the air cases are a good weight.One wish would be a super light weight back pack that the pelican case can perfectly fit into for hiking into remote locations.

Fits perfect in most overhead luggage compartments. The retractable handle and wheels make it easy to move through airports. Handles rough ground OK. The padded divider pieces are perfect for reconfiguring for different gear.You pay more, but the Air series shaves off a few pounds, which could make the difference in a luggage overage fee if you are checking this thing. But at this size, it's pretty easy to keep under 50 lbs.

Fantastic durable case!
2 November 2022

Come rainy season in the PNW, I decided to upgrade my summer backpack for my camera and gear, and landed on this case after perusing many options. I knew I couldn't go wrong with Pelican, and I did pick a winner. The case is durable, waterproof, and easy to transport. Depending on the ground/flooring, the wheels aren't too loud, either. Heavy duty handles, and the latches are great. There's enough height on the inside to comfortably stand up a 24-105mm Canon lens, and it's long enough to hold my Peak Design travel tripod. If you pack it well without barriers/padding in the case, your gear doesn't even move around much. I've been waiting to cut my inserts, until I decide which arrangement I want, as those are a measure twice, cut once kind of product.

I purchased the 1510 lid organizer, which fits perfectly, but I will need to drill holes in the backing of the organizer to fit the holes of the 1535 lid (there's six on the edges of the insert, but the 1535 has four holes closer to the middle). I will definitely be buying this case again to carry additional gear. I can't wait to fly with it!

Pros:Weight - much lighter than the non-air version which matters a lot when you are using it as airline carry-onCarry-on - perfect size for carry-on. I have had no issues on any airline so far and I travel extensively for my work.Protection - pelican cases are solid and this is no exception. I keep my Red and lenses inside and no issues so far.Cons:Wheel bearings - I have had two sets of wheel bearings rust out so far. I use the case on boats so I am sure it is a salt water corrosion issue. I'm fine with that, saltwater is nasty, but the design makes it very hard to remove the wheels (especially once rusted).

The recent case I bought has a second handle on the top which is much superior.

Great case for your camera gear
21 December 2022

I bought this case with the TrekPak divider inserts to hold the Z9 and the 14-24, 24-70, and 105 S lenses. The insert system is easy to customize. Just be sure to measure and lay out your gear before you start making cuts. Also note that the above lenses will not fit front to back and need to be placed on their sides, using up a bit more space. The base insert and dividers are firm so I added some softer foam to better profile the shapes of the camera with lens attached and also to prevent everything from bouncing around. I had space left over for the 24-200 lens front to back, speedlight, camranger, batteries, and filters.Fit and finish is excellent consistent with Pelican quality. Latches have a safety feature and are easy to open, and cover has a stay so it ... MoreI bought this case with the TrekPak divider inserts to hold the Z9 and the 14-24, 24-70, and 105 S lenses.

I Love BOTH my Pelican 1535 Air Cases With Trek Pak!!

If you're reading this review, chances are you're looking to purchase the same case or its older sibling, the similarlysized Pelican 1510.

This wasn't an issue with me. I was happy to have cases that could fly with me in the airline cabin.The cases themselves arrived in perfect condition and eachfunctions flawlessly.Pelican cases are not cheap and I'm not wealthy, but I've always had a 'Buy Nice or Buy Twice' philosophy for any tool or piece ofequipment I must rely on to perform. I researched 'imitation' Pelican cases and the negative reviews speak for themselves. You get what you pay for, and Pelican Cases are in a class way above their competitors.There were three internal options available for both the Pelican Air 1535 case and the Pelican 1510 case when I placed my order: The Pick-N-Pluck Foam Insert, The Padded Dividers, and the Trek Pak Dividers. The least expensive option was the Pick-N-Pluck Foam and the most expensive was the Trek Pak Dividers (which I chose.)Pick-N-Pluck Foam:I used this for telescope gear 25 years ago. It looks great when brand new, but it soon wears out, sheds foam particles, and eventually sags offering very little support. It seems like a great idea for customizing a case but all too soon it becomes a sorry-looking mess that most people will regret purchasing (My opinion.)Padded Dividers:The thick padded dividers offer the best protection but at the expense of storage space. (You mustweigh your own tolerance level.) This was not a viable option for me as I had too much equipment. I've used similar dividers in the past and I assume these attach with Velcro or similar methods. If true, theVelcro eventually wears out and no longer holds well. Also, the fabric covering the internal foam panels wears thin at the contact areas.Trek Pak Dividers:The Trek Pak Dividers are black Coroplast panels covered on both sides by dense black foam. They are held together with black enameled pins which fit into the small holes in the panels. A special tool is included that easily and accurately cuts the panels to the size you require to 'cubby-hole' your equipment. The advantages offered by Trek Pak dividers are greater flexibility and greater use of your available storage space. Because the panels are thin, you can storemore items in your case. If you add more equipment, you can make a new layout, and build a brand-new interior for your case. It also yields the most 'professional look' of the three options.There is one big caveat, however:You BARELY GET ENOUGH TREK PAK PANELS WITH YOUR CASE!One mistake, and you've likely blown it. The old saying, 'measure twice, cut once', definitely applies here. Replacement Trek Pak panels are not sold individually, Currently, they are only sold as part of anentire kit that includes items you may never need, such as the top and bottom foam panels and sidewalls. As I writethis review, the price for that kit is $153.95MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCE, AND DON'T MAKE EVEN ONE MISTAKE!After all that, I absolutely LOVE the Trek Pack Dividers! They are by far the best case-organizing system I've ever used, and I love the look of professionalism they present when my case opens up in public.

My first genuine Pelican
21 December 2022

In the past I usually went with the cheaper Harbor Freight cases, but went for the genuine Pelican for my recent kit. I can only say good things about the 1535 air. I think the most noteworthy is the weight and size for travel. I do wish that the foam had two levels of height for shorter items, but I was able to cut some foam to work as needed. So far the foam is holding up and not flaking or shedding.If you are looking to save money with a knock off...don't.

The best got better
28 June 2022

This is my 2nd 1535Air case with TrekPak. One of my only concerns about the first one was a lack of a top handle which leaves you grabbing the handle that slides out which isn't secure enough for lifting the case that way. Well, Pelican must be monitoring my thoughts because they added a top handle, which is small and unobtrusive, but still feels robust.Getting this case with the TrekPak is a must. These cases are all about maximizing space and you just can't fit as much in with the regular dividers.

nice case, but despite water tight rating, it leaked a bit

my wife and i are planning a safari plus Venice Italy trip soon, so i got this case. we will be in Venice during flood season, so walking to/from the hotel with luggage, especially all my camera gear, was a concern.the first thing i did when i got the case, was put 44 lbs of dumbells into it, and fill the bathtub. it leaked about 1-2 cc's into the case.my test was 1 hr, with me pushing the case under water a few times (even with that weight, it floats). Pelican told me that their testing is much shorter, and my pushing it was probably unrealistic, but it seems worth mentioning, just to be complete. walking in venice, if the water is that high, i won't be pushing it under the water; floating works for me.the 1-2 cc's was mostly near the seal, although some made ... Moremy wife and i are planning a safari plus Venice Italy trip soon, so i got this case. we will be in Venice during flood season, so walking to/from the hotel with luggage, especially all my camera gear, was a concern.the first thing i did when i got the case, was put 44 lbs of dumbells into it, and fill the bathtub. it leaked about 1-2 cc's into the case.my test was 1 hr, with me pushing the case under water a few times (even with that weight, it floats).
