Pelican dry case

[dsaini]

My friend bought few pelican copies from states. They apparently came without foam and were only available in black but they did had moisture seal and pressure release valve thingy.

I will ask him for company details.

hey guys this is my first post and had to add my thoughts, i own 2 pelican cases, the 1450 that holds my camera and lenses when out on the water or being strapped to a quad bike or hugglands (im in Antarctica for work) and a 1560 that hold all my gear, laptop, hdd and lots more and even has wheels on it so it can be moved like a suitcase. i can recommend them enuf. they are built very well with weather seals and pressure compensating valves. pelican say that you can submerge the cases up to a meter and water wont leak in! tho i wont be keen on testing it out. I will say as mentioned above the pluck and pull fome is crap and the only let down of this case. pelican do also sell moisture tins that absorb moisture and can be dryed out in an oven tho i have never seen one myself. I got mine from ebay (coast to coast safety is the ebay store) sent from the USA and cost me $160 shipped. Our strong $$$ means there isnt much point in getting a knock off not when pelican give an unconditional life time warranty on the cases

I just bought a Pelican 1550, it arrived yesterday. It's "Tonka Tough" Not all that impressed with the foam, but it will do the job for now. I'm only using it as storgae case at home anyway.

Kinchrome do a watertight hardcase, with pressure relief valve. They look and feel identical to the Pelican cases i have seen are around half the price from what i remember. I have all my old Ricoh/Pentax film gear in one

[Ausnapper]

I use the 1440, 1600 and the 1650.

1440 = Holds most gear/lens and I have the dividers. It is on wheels and is an awesome case. I would like a little wider base though. It can be a little top heavy.

1600 = Holds general bits and pieces as well

1650 = Everything to do with lights and backgrounds, clamps etc...

I had ordered the dividers through Ebay but they could not post them for the big one. So I canceled it. I would prefer the dividers rather than the foam.

I do not take it everywhere of course, but if I am doing a trip I know everything is secured and protected.

Just remember that "the above guarantee does not cover sharkbite, bear attack or children under 5" straight from the instruction sheet!

I own 1610 for all my gear and a 1450 to carry remote set up. Had a Storm case but had to return due to the lid bowing like a banana.

Sorry for late reply. I spoke to my friend and he showed me the website. It can be accessed here. Apparently these guys also manufacture Lights, Cases, Knives, Hangers, Custom High density Foams, Steel plates (used to convert a case into a fold able console panel) and other stuff too.

He got the cases from US directly buy website lists few distributors in Australia.

Hope i helped someone.

Cheers

Unfortunately, the Bunnings cases were a once-off lot purchase and are long gone.

Bunnings currently have 2 versions of the Kinchrome case - $55 & $75, the larger is 430x380x154.

If anyone is interested.

The larger one would be just right if my local Bunnykins has them. That's a good price too.

Will check them out tomorrow.

Thats where mine came from.

BTW, just picked up a $75 Kincrome Safe Case from Bunnings. Got mine from Kirrawee and they only had 3 left. None of the smaller size but I think the 430 x 380 x 153mm size is spot on for my Olympus MFT camera and collection of old manual lenses.

Great value. Now to do some foam plucking.
