For those of you that like pelican cases to store your gear, you might want to look at some law enforcement supply stores. You'll probably find much better prices.

Here's one with good customer service...

    The problem with pelican cases is there heavy as hell. Here is mine16916313-M.jpg16916426-M.jpg
    But you don't have to worry about your gear getting broke. But the are VERY heavy. There mainly for transporting your gear not for carrying it around.

    I only buy the rolling cases. Once they are on wheels, moving them around is a piece of cake.

    Right now I have the 1510 for carry on, the 1620, and the 1700. The 1700 carries my light stands, umbrellas, tripod, etc.

    I can usually bring all my stuff for an on-location shoot with the 1620 and the 1700.

    I have a 1660 that I keep my telescope in. Really nice case. Has a little
    "burp" valve for letting air into the case (change in altitude). Great case.
