Where is a Good Place to buy a Pelican Case?

[rreichenfeld]

Where is a good place to buy a pelican case to Store a DVX and its accessories (battery charger, cables, extra batteryies, filters)? Which model of the pelican case Should I be looking for? Is there something better than a pelican case for my camera?

I bought my Pelican 1510 case from EVS (ask for Rush and your DVXuser discount). I like the 1510 because it has wheels and is legal carry-on size for flying. I bought it with the padded dividers only because I can't stand those little foam cubes, plus I like to reconfigure as necessary. I've FEDEXed my camera in the 1510 and the protection is absolute. There's a lot of other soft cases that are excellent, but don't provide quite the same weatherproof hardshell protection. Check out Kata and Portabrace, and also Lowe-Pro for their camera backpacks.

EVS carries them, and I've also had great success with www.cases4less.com.

Thanks Barry! I second the 1510, it has been our second most popular pelican behind the 1550. the wheels make it indispensable!:thumbsup:

I bought my 1550 from Rush at EVS too. Great case.

 

[Rush]

Thanks Jarred! Yes, on the Pelicans, I will beat most other dealers for DVXusers. :thumbsup:

Yeah that Pelican warranty is just too cool. And we figured out a while back that gently heat-gunning the foam inside seals up the foam so it doesn't flake.

Wow! I didn't think anyone could beat Pelicancasesonline.com. You are simply amazing Rush.

Not protected against bear and shark attack, or children under five. I love that warranty.

i got my 1300 for my ext. hdd from pelicancasesonline.com for $40, $5 cheaper than evs. dunno what kind of discount you could get, tho.

 

[Rasquachemedia]

how much is the discount at evs for dvxuser's? is it on anything?

 

[Jarred Land]

pretty much.. as you can see the pelican is a discounted DVXuser price, the price is higher on the EVS website. You just gotta call or email rush to find out what it is, cause it varies on products.

 

[Rush]

Yes sirree, call or write to me at rush@evsonline.com . For example the 1550 DVXuser price is $12 cheaper than the advertised price. :thumbsup:

Can you fit EVERYTHING that comes with your camera in the 1550? Camera, Batteries and charger, tapes, remote, filters? or do you need the 1600?

 

[Rush]

Yes you can fit everything if you're careful about parting the foam. You can also get the 1554 with padded dividers, which gives you more space but a little less protection. But if you are a single owner, you don't have to worry about other people banging your camera around. :thumbsup:

You will need the 1600 when you want to get a mattebox and on-camera light on there as well.
