About this bag
The new 1510 case will be the toughest and biggest airline-legal carry-on case on the market. Complete with side handle, front handle and convenient extension handle, it will be the perfect rolling travel companion. An added value to this case is the effortless release latch for the 17" retracting extension handle. Also, the metal reinforced padlock protectors provide added strength and extra security against cutting and theft. Optional divider sets available.
Also includes standard Pelican case features like the water and dustproof neoprene o-ring seal, Automatic Purge Valve with Gore-Tex® membrane, and easy open Double Throw latches. Lifetime Guaranteed. “You break it, we replace it…forever”.
Solid, Reliable, easy to move, and working a two body system, can be left in the car when out shooting.
A rework of layout for sports only days means it holds Nikon AFSII 300/2.8, and doubles as a pitch side seat !!

I love hard cases, especially to keep my valuable equipment safe and well protected when al home or traveling by car.
In fact the bag is a bit heavy and can store a huge of tools, adding weight...but it has wheels and handles, so you do not need to carry all the weight on your shoulder or back. The best interior in my opinion is this one, padded deviders: light but full protective, and non small parts floating in the case. I also love the colour, sand, outside and inside: it is easy to find small pieces inside and the look is less "serious" than a fully black case.
It is water and dust tight and a compensation valve is built-in. Very happy.

If I need to carry the Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM as well, I can add an accessory pouch to each end of the 650AW and use them to carry the camera bodies. Alternatively I may reconfigure the 1510 to allow the 70-200 to be connected to one of the bodies.
So why does this work for me?
Well...
I can happily sit on the 1510 so I don't need to carry a stool
Everything is easily accessible - nothing is hidden under another item...
...so it's quick and easy to get kit in and out, minimising delay
When I'm sitting on the 1510, I'll transfer the other body with lens attached into the 650AW for easy access to a second camera. This might be the 1D + 300mm (or 70-200mm) for example. If the weather is good, I'll sit the body and lens on top of the 650AW on my right hand side ready to pick up when required.
It's not too much of a pain to get from car to ground. The 650AW goes over my shoulder and I carry (or roll) the 1510... so there are only two things to worry about.
It's not the ideal set-up to use on public transport or for hiking but it works for sports...
