I really like how honest this was to be from the manufacturer. When the presenter was just about to say the top handle on the Air version was a little less comfortable, I was thinking the same thing. Most manufacturers would not have said that. But then he went on to remind us that we don't usually carry from that handle anyway. I am a budding wedding photographer currently working out of two textile backpacks with zippers. I think I'll be picking out one of the Air cases so I can lock my gear to something to prevent theft while I'm chasing the wedding party around.

I just got my 1535 AIR Travel with the TSA lock latches and it absolutely PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!! The Pelican I'm looking to get is the1615 hopefully soon. Pelican makes the BEST cases in the game in my opinion! Made in the USA!!

Excellent comparaison. Thanks. I'll stay with my 1510. I do +150 flights (North American) per year and have had no problems with my 1510 for gear and a 1500 as a briefcase.

Seriously, how amazing is it that Pelican has made these videos themselves, instead of relying on other people to do the comparison? I love my 1615, and was looking for a smaller companion. Definitely getting the 1535. Great comparison, thank you!

Should have shown the hardware mounting holes inside the lid. Would like to see how the Air has them situated. Mainly because I'm out of a 1550 that I picked up new/used but is completely devoid of screw mounting holes in it's lid.

Very helpful info thank you. Your speaking is crystal clear.

Classic 1510 is still the ChamP! Got 8 of them in Black, Red, Blue, Yellow, and Grey. Love Pelican Cases! 😍

Thx! I was wondering what the two strips of foam were intended for in the TrekPak kit for my 1535. Now I know. You all could do yourselves a huge favor by slashing the prices of the TrekPak kits as one can make them for about $30 or so. Just saying. I actually have another TrekPak kit coming for another brand's case (N**** 935) that I use for my photography equipment. That said, I will probably stay with Pelican from this point forward. And for the record, the pick and pluck is worthless in any case unless you need additional padding with the TrekPak.

Thank you for this comparison I was so confused on the difference

Very good video! I own a 1560 with the TrekPak liner system...love it. Just returned from a week-long Alaska photo trip which, I took along my EF 500mm L lens...luckily, a friend loaned me his MindShift MP 3V2 carry on bag...all went well...and happy I took the long lens! Next trip tho, I would love to find a solution with wheels! Additional gear in the bag included the following: Lenses (Canon) - 100-400, 24-105, 20-35, and a 1.4 III extender; Bodies - 1DX and 5D Mk IV. Based on the specs I am seeing, either the 1510 or 1535 will work...the 1535 weight is pushing me in that direction. Suggestions with any and all experiences traveling with this equipment is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!!!

I wish you guys would offer these with swivel wheels. I know it may take away of space inside but the spinning luggage is so nice for moving in those long TSA lines. (I fly out of Atlanta)

Ordered mine today, hopefully I get a email with a purchase confirmation soon

- So, which model do You want ? Me : Yes .

I have a Peli 1750 I use it for a several thousand UK £ Surgeon action based rifle with NF NSX 56 MM scope & moderator. Peli is the only case I would trust this rifle to. The only issue is the Wheels they are like the steel wheels on my roller skates in the 1950’s. I have known lots of photographers who put in line poly skate wheels on their boxes as on KZfaq . This is not an option on the 1750. Will you please consider making the best case the ultimate case and put quality poly wheels on your cases,

Thanks I finally got how to pull up carrier handle!!

Awesome thank you. Getting one for sure just need to see which one would work best for me. Thank you 🙏

Great in depth review...thanks

We have approximately 90 pelican cases of all shapes and sizes. We recently acquired a 45w Trotec Speedy 100 laser engraver and would like to engrave the name plate. Any clue what the settings might be?

Besides the Cargo line, Which case line is best for mounting to a vehicle rack for camping and adventure? Looking for a thin long case. Vault? Protector? Other?

Who knows what is the next size up after 1535? I got one but it is a little smaller than I expected...

Do the 1510 lid organisers work with the 1535?

I have both. My favorite is 1510

Thank you for the comparison

Problem is that although many European airlines will have the same linear requirement of 115 cm, the size has to be within 55x40x20 cm. The Pelican cases are too big.

i wonder why tupperware does not make this kind of cases... would not be difficult for them.

This video is great! Thinking about using one for a top box on a Yamaha XT250. It looks like the handle and wheel assembly can be removed from the heavier one.

How comes the 1535 Air in your video comes with a top handle but all the cases online don't have one?

Would be nice if you used numbers and measurements instead of “big” and “depth” Like how do I know if my stuff will fit with padding?

I wonder which one is ideal for raw comic books 🤔 if I lay them sideways

They should go under the seats on a plane right

Hi, are the wheels the same? I find the ones of my 1535 very hard and noisy. I don't really feel comfortable to carry it around on asphalt or roads with expensive gear inside. It's good for airports, alright, I get it, but on asphalt?? I feel like the wheels on the 1510 are smoother, am i wrong? Thank you

Is there a smaller class as 1510?

Would this fit an Elo 1919L touchscreen or does anyone else have other suggestions?

Is it can be locked?

Buy Nanuk instead.

Hi Pelican, which case fits best in the Tesla model 3 cubby space in the trunk ? 1510 or 1520. That’s the small space under the cover.

I'm guessing not, however, I wonder if anyone is using these to shoot out of a car? I would like something like this, that would hold two pro style DSLR's (with integrated vertical grips......like a Nikon D4 type camera) with lenses (nothing crazy long) attached? Would one of these sit on the passenger seat of a Honda Accord?

Are both cases made in the USA?

Good morning. How much weight can both cases take on top. Say I want to use it as a stool at a sports event, would this be ok to use as a chair? Hope that makes sense.

How hard is it for luggage reviewers to have a standard week's worth of clothes and travel accessories, and just show us how much stuff fits?!

The wheels on my 1535 just gave way, is it possible to replace them with the 1510 wheels?

Hii guys! I'm a music producer and I want to travel with my mobil set up. I want to carry my 2 HS8 Yamaha Speakers, My Apollo twin interface and my TLM 103 Neumann and other stuff like cables. What case do I need to put on all my stuff.??? Cheers

But is the 1535 as bomb proof? Can you stand on it like an Apple box?

So the handles on the air case don’t go flat so they will be always sticking out?

1510 much better ... !

how do you suggest you carry a tripod in conjunction with this case?

Do these case TSA compatible?

spit it outtt

Very instable !

Speak up next time, you’re mumbling at the end of your sentences
