Anyone use Pelican boxes for travel?

[Bigolac]

If anyone is using a Pelican type weather-proof type case for travel/transport, please post pics. I'm looking at the 1200 series:

Pelican Products | 1200 Case | Protective hard cases

I'm sure there are probably cheaper alternatives, but I like supporting US companies when I can.

What exactly would you be carrying in that?

( trying to figure out what you would need it for)

I'd put all my gear that I would need for a trip/junket - mods, juice, attys, batteries, charger, etc.... just seemed like a nice solution to keep everything in one place and not get smashed/broken in my suitcase.

I use Pelican 1200's and 1500's all the time for transporting delicate electronics and camera gear but they're incredibly burly cases to be putting inside a suitcase. I've had them drop 70 feet and not even pop open. The hard shell makes it tougher to fit other stuff in a suitcase though. A padded soft case might be better? Or do you want it to be crush proof?

Gotta love websites that don't offer prices

Here's Amazon's price...

Amazon.com : Pelican 1200 Case with Foam for Camera (Black) : Camera & Photo

Maybe this is a bit more than necessary.... but I do like the idea of being crushproof. I'll see if there are other smaller sizes that would be more convenient for a suitcase/carry-on bag.

Try Carry Cases Plus - Blow molded cases, Seahorse, Nanuk, HPRC
Their Standard and Economy cases are perfect for packing into a suitcase. And they're really inexpensive if you can find your own foam.

I don't have an pictures right now, but I got my self a Pelican 1060.
At the moment I don't use foam inserts since it carries my vape tools, but I have a few different foam inserts for mech mods and my provari.

I'll post some tonight.

I use a Pelican case to carry a Nexus in motorcylce luggage, & know the tablet is very well protected from water & impact. My mod is in my pocket & other vapor stuff is carried in a zip lock.

I do, but for my camera gear. Pelican cases are great

I use a 1060 as well. I rarely travel for less than a week at a time, and in my current configuration it holds an rDNA, tube mech, 2 tanks, and a 2X18650 case. There's still plenty of room and the foam makes it easy to switch things around. My next trip is for two weeks at a beach, so I'll switch out the tube for my REO. Slides right into my backpack and provides me with totally worry-free protection.

There's also something like this Vape Capsule - Kidney Puncher but you aren't going to get your charger in there too, lol. It's on my wish list for when I become rich. Or there is a great sale. Nothing like the (90 lbs.) dog stomping on your gear during a road trip.

Great - I'm liking the size of the 1060, and I like the fact you can buy the foam inserts for them as well.

Pics would be appreciated!

Thanks - Adam

I use Pelican cases all the time. Everything from guns, ammo, knives, cigars and vape gear, electronics. The cases work wonderfully and are fairly easy to pack into the car especially since my wife is a master at the game Tetris. I normally order them without the foam inserts. Then I just go to the local craft shop and buy a block of foam and cut it however I want it.
