    I wanted a large Pelican case that could fit my entire FS7 camera package along with additional accessories. The TrekPak insert is super efficient at maximizing usable space while also providing ample protection. Great for cinematography gigs where I don't have the luxury of bringing my Inovativ cart.

    No worry?
    How can you rest on the plane assuring your expensive stuffs won’t get lost?
    For me checked bag must only contain what I call “totally-fine-if-it-gets-lost” stuffs in it.
    And yeah I’m aware that by size and weight it cannot be carried on.

    Nice review, FYI though, your not allowed to check spare lithium batteries under the plane, only carry-on. Might consider using one of these cases for lighting & audio accessories and keep a 1510 carry-on with body and lenses with me.

    I got this case last week for my camera gear I purchased it with the foam but there's so much wasted space and the pull and pluck foam doesn't last long, I'm going to invest in the TrekPek system and a lid organiser and I think I will also do the same with my old Pelican 1510 case as those old dividers are wearing out now. Thank you for your video

    Have you done any updates to layout? Would like to see how you configured some of your cases based on the garage video you just did. I think I need to get this case and put my 2 1510s to audio and photography gear or something.

    If able could you tell me the available dimension of the lower part of the 1650 case with the TrekPak foam layers installed in the bottom? How much depth do you lose form advertised case depth? MANY THANKS!

  • @jessejarseneau
    @jessejarseneau 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have that case, but I went with the pick and pull foam which I now regret. I do have it pretty locked in on traveling at under 50lbs. It’s frustrating having to carry on all my lithium ion batteries.

    • @robchado
      @robchado  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The pluck foam probably has more protection but def takes up more space. Of you fly with a media, you can fly up to 100 lbs! I agree about the batteries though... 🤦‍♂️

  • @pubert531
    @pubert531 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Do you think lighting, tripods, and monopods would fit well in the 1615?

    • @robchado
      @robchado  6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Probably not, the 1650 is probably too short for regular stands. Mini-stands or tripods that fold up might work! I would suggest the Tenba 38 Grip Case. That's how I usually travel with longer gear.

    Cant find 1650 with trekpak dividers but instead Amazon tells me Pelican Air 1615 is a newer version which is a bit smaller but it comes with trekpak dividers. Do you think 1650 would be a better option and then buy dividers separately?

  • @deandigamon
    @deandigamon 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Is there way to divide it vertically? Since the 1650 is so deep

    • @MrKockabilly
      @MrKockabilly 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah it is deep, without provision for vertical partition. I'm looking for a shallower option albeit wider and longer and I found one in SKB. There is no matching Trekpak though but you could still improvised or even buy the Pelican trekpak and lay it out.

  • @santanistic
    @santanistic 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    What was your reasoning behind the 1650 case vs 1660 case? I ask as the 1650 has a great form factor, but the 1660 could store things in two layers. Primarily using it for c100s, and c300s, do you find the height inside adequate for storing everything for interviews and weddings?

    • @buddyfx7026
      @buddyfx7026 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Two years late but it's because of the TrekPak system. Plus that 1660 is deep, stuff is bound to move up and down a lot more.

    Hey Robert, I'm about to spend some money on organising gear myself. How would you recommend packing all your equipment to drive to gigs? My gear is all over the place, and I was wondering if you would recommend a system to organise it all properly? Thanks!

    • @robchado
      @robchado  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The TrekPak is great. How much gear do you have? If you're hauling a lot, I'd recommend the 1610. It's a bit shorter than the 1650 but still has the same depth. The 1510 is also a great option if you need cases that are carry-on compatible for airlines.

    Are you paying extra charge for oversized baggage when checking in flights? This is 64.5 inches in stead of flights 62 inches standard?

      Airlines usually exempt overweight/oversize fees when you fly with a media badge.

      40-50 lbs. I currently use a smaller case for my cameras and use the 1650 to transport larger items on one-off jobs.
