Thank you kindly!

JR Chicago Thank you for sharing! I didn’t know that black would be more likely to be stolen but that makes sense!

I don't have a problem with it being stolen, but my problem is I over pack, but I'm the best and fastest bagger and have worked at a grocery store for a long time so I can pack...I overpack, and they always open it at every single airport and half my stuff is hanging out every time...Chicago, Orlando, LAX, Oregon, and Arizona, and every time they open it and can't close it back up, what do you suggest to do about that?

Are combination locks worth using, or is it better to use keys because a thief can just brute-force it?

Carry On!

Personally the size lock you put on these things isn't going to matter if someone steals it. They will all be so small that a small bolt cutter would take care of them. Any lock is going to be great to keep someone out of your bag if you get distracted for a minute.

Thanks man! Let me know how you like everything, I just got off my first trip and loved the case!

Absolutely. 5 flights this week -- so far so good. No issues with it fitting. I went with Tan so that there wasn't a subconscious association with firearms when people look at it. Also worth noting -- I don't have my lid organizer yet, but was able to fit 5 days worth of clothes -- and two pairs of shoes with no issues. This includes two pairs of jeans, two pairs of shorts, 3 button up shirts, 3 polos, 3 t-shirts, and 4 undershirts. If someone can't fit your stuff in this case -- they need to pack less stuff, haha. Thanks again and have a good one!

I really like the tan case from my other review. I would have gone with that if I didn't find yellow. It looks awesome if you throw some matte black decals on it like we did!

Or just use ziplocks. If TSA wants to search, they cut them off and replace afterwards.

I'd love to do one. I'm a lot more interested in some of the things that were changed after the first batches came out on the 35.

It's really the most amazing thing ever. Now if they would just make something like that for my lawn mower my back wouldn't be out of commission for three days after I mow.

@@theishkid Do you have by chance the link for the nylon extender ? .... I check in Amazon and do not find anything near ...

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you!

I struggled with this as well. I had a 1610 pelican with foam for my old camera and while I could cut each piece of gear out of the foam... it left no room for upgrading or adding more gear. With the foam, if you space your gear out perfectly then buy a lens there's no where to put it. In my opinion, with the foam, if you are carrying anything that has some weight to it... you need to leave at least 3 rows of pick and plucks in between heavy items. For small lighter items that won't put stress on the foam you still need to leave at least two as you could accidentally tear the foam and degrade it if you only left one piece in between items. So with the foam not only are you limited to whatever your original decision was of how to cut the pieces out... but it also takes up a lot of space. I will say that I was worried when I originally purchased the Trekpak system that it wouldn't be enough protection for my gear. But honestly after taking three or four trips now including 4 flights, 3 hotel rooms, a rough rocky road, and multiple car/taxi rides the Trekpak system has been awesome. The ONLY draw back for me has been the cost of the trekpak system. I just bought a new lens and I'm reconfiguring my case as we speak. I didn't have to start completely over, but I don't have anymore large pieces so I had to buy an extra piece that is another 20 or 30 bucks on top of what I already paid for the system. But it beats paying 30 - 40 bucks for new foam inserts then having to recut every single component that is in your case.

Thanks Brad. The more & more i watch videos & think about it I'm gonna go with the padded compartments as my current backpack has. I think the hard Pelican case will be an upgrade to the obvious soft backpack which is how I believe my lenses & body were shifting into each other damaging the internal auto focus.... if that makes any sense! Now it's simply a question of going w the standard velcro or the Trek Pak ones? I honestly don't mind the velcro but I guess the flexibility of them is not as good as the Trek Pak sturdier ones???

The TrekPak has definitely been far more sturdy than I thought they would be. With just enough give that I feel like my gear is being protected. I can't say anything about the velcro pads that pelican uses but I'm sure they are top quality. I've only used velcro pads on a different cheaper case a long time ago and wasn't as much of a fan. My whole system would just kind of sag around and it took up a lot of space. If you aren't putting in a ton of gear the velcro would probably be fine. If you're looking for the most protection while still being able to get a lot of gear in the case... you can be pretty confident with the TrekPak.

Yes sir it still holds up and looks great. Couple of tiny scuffs from all the trips I've taken but it still looks and works fantastic. I've only changed my trek pak layout a couple of times since this video, that's been my only change. I would tell you to consider the 1535 as well now... I think they addressed a couple of my major concerns I had when I did a comparison a couple years ago. They also offer it in other colors than black which I'm a big fan of. I can tell you shaving off a little bit of weight would be a pretty nice bonus but I think they need to reduce the price a little... the 35's are about 40 dollars more expensive for the no foam option which doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It's basically using less plastic but cost more.

extra pins and dividers i mean

So if memory serves me correctly, I bought the trekpak system and it wasn't quite enough pins or dividers. So I purchased 2 extra dividers and one extra bag of pins for the case. I've actually already changed mine up since I did this video though. I bought a new lens so I had to make room for it, but I also got tired of taking off and putting on the lens hood each time I took a lens out... that got really old really fast.

As long as it will fit in the case the TrekPak will hold it. And if you're worried about them you can always brace them up more for sturdiness. I love the TrekTak system. If they could cut the price down a bit they would put the padded dividers out of business.

Thanks, you the man

Pelicans have a little place for the name plates, they just slide in. Until mine though I've never seen anyone utilize it.

Went back and checked my amazon purchase... looks like 60x18.

I'm not sure... on the 10 you can pop out the small wheel sections and pop the pin out. I don't think the 35 has the little wheel sections and I'm not sure what happens when you take that larger back plate off.

Try this... www.ebay.com/sch/worldcasecompany/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

This is part of the Protector series. And that series is tougher than the cheaper Air series.

The protector series is tougher, but the Air series is more expensive!

I have both protector and air cases; one being tougher than the other is psychological. However the Aircase does cost more so that is what you have to consider. If weight isn’t an issue than I would buy the Protector every day of the week. However if weight is an issue, than the Aircase is the way to go.

Sorry for the delay, I was on a big trip. Here is a new link for the yellow Pelicans: www.ebay.com/itm/New-Genuine-OEM-Yellow-Pelican-1510-Case-with-Pick-N-Pluck-foam-Free-nameplate-/311172763032?hash=item4873578d98:g:roUAAOSwKrxUZOCW

I also have a different colour pelican case same size, I live in the UK and bought it from a camera shop called fixation, they are in London. They have that Yellow and Orange and a few others. best Wishes. and Brad Great Video

It's supposed to be the largest pelican case that is allowed to carry on. I didn't have any problems with Southwest on 4 flights a couple weeks ago.

Thanks!

Thanks bud... your constructive criticism was necessary and invaluable!
