Pelican1200 Case With Foam (Black)

First of all, these cases are very well built and seem as though they will be able to withstand a serious amount of abuse. The pick and pluck foam is great for customizing the interior.I purchased (2) of these cases to protect my camera & lenses from humidity. I purchased this particular size Pelican case because it fits perfectly in the cabinet where I store the rest of my gear. I initially bought (2) of these cases and assumed that they would fit:(A.) 5diii body(B.) 100mm F2.8 ii(C.) 135mm F2(D.) 50mm F1.2(E.) 24mm F1.4 iiClose but not quite! The biggest issue is the camera body. (Pics attached)It's not possible to close the case with the camera sitting upright (not even remotely close) so I have to detach the lens and lay it face down. With the camera orientated in that particular way, it's not possible for me to fit another lens in one case. The solution to this problem is simply purchasing a third case which I don't mind doing since they are of a fantastic quality and great price.FYI - my 50mm, 135mm & 24mm do fit all in 1 case however it is pretty tight but doable. (Pic attached)Once I receive my 3rd case I'll have the camera body in 1 by itself and 2 lenses paired up in the other cases.Hope this helps any Canon 5D3 user.

At first I tried to use the pick and shape interior foam to customize the case, but as I was doing it, I realized that I had removed so much foam that it wouldn’t hold its shape anymore. I saw someone that did this on YouTube, but he didn’t try to fit the power brick in there, which takes up a lot of space. Your results will vary, depending on what you try to fit in there. I ended up taking all the foam out (Except the perimeter foam) and everything fit nicely, and is pretty snug, so nothing moves around. There is room for another cable, the lens cleaning cloth, and other small things, next to the battery. The only thing that I will add is something that I think should have come with the AVP, but didn’t, is a cover for the lenses inside. I don’t want the strap, or any stray wire to rub up against them, especially if I splurge, and get the Zeiss lenses. This is about 1/3 of the price of the apple case, and half the size, so this will fit nicely in a travel bag or backpack. Plus, it’s a Pelican, so I have the peace of mind that It won’t get wet if I get caught in the rain, and it will survive a blow if dropped.

This is a bomber case to survive in the harshest environments. The latches take a bit of force to open, but I feel confident that my gear is safe inside. My primary use has been for the GoPro Hero 3+ with plenty of room for assorted accessories. I use this when the extra protection is needed for my equipment which is certainly not 100% of the time. For those other occasions, I have a POV case for storage or when the extra protection is not needed.I have also purchased a second set of foam inserts that I customized for various DSLR lenses. As another reviewer stated, the case is probably not large enough to provide ample padding for a DSLR body with lens attached, but would be sufficient for the camera body only. The extra foam inserts are about $12 per set.The pick and pluck foam included with the case provides easy customization for any type of application. There are three pieces (top and bottom are solid and the middle/main section is the customizable pick 'n pluck). I found that once I plucked out the general shape for the particular item, I could remove the whole block and then take a sharp knife to slice off a cross-section in order to have smaller items sit up at the perfect level.Overall, this is a great case when you need serious protection for sensitive or expensive gear. Being able to purchase additional sets of foam make this case usable for a variety of applications.

Very good product.

Great construction. Reliable and consistent project line.

Short Version:Giving it as a gift to be used a pistol case. Fits a single pistol and spare magazine nicely. Case is quality construction. I'd feel confidant that my pistol would be safe from small drops to freak hurricanes. Small enough to throw into a backpack and comfortable enough to carry on its own. Giving as a gift, and would recommend to anyone with something that they want to protect and is small enough to fit.Use:I giving it as a gift to be used as a pistol case. A pistol and spare magazine tuck nicely into the case, still leaving about inch all around for padding. There's not enough room for much else. Maybe a cleaning cloth or some other very small item, but don't expect this to be small range box.Pros:Excellent quality. If you've never held a Pelican case you can recognize the quality as soon as you hold you. They just feel tough. This case is just large enough to carry "the essentials" of one pistol and a spare mag, yet small enough that you can throw it into a backpack.Cons:It doesn't fit a lot, but it fits exactly what it needs to. If I wanted it to fit more, I would have got a larger one. For this specific purpose, there are no cons to this case.Recommendations:I would recommend a Pelican to anyone who needed a case to protect something valuable. This specific case I would definitely recommend for a pistol case, or as a case for small electronics.

Nice sturdy handle locks on it work really good
