   I travel everywhere with my camera and lenses. As I accumulate more and more gear, my setup has gotten increasingly expensive so I felt the need to get this wheeled case. Its durable, waterproof (can float) and there is no way it can be crushed in a car. This is over the legal carry-on limit, but I bet you the TSA and most airlines in the United States would turn a blind eye. Pelican offers a lifetime warranty where they will replace any parts that you break.While I thoroughly enjoy this case, nothing is without some shortcomings. The wheels are not of the roller-blade variety like on most wheeled carry-ons and there is no active suspension system like on my Samsonite hardcase where bumps are better absorbed. Pelican needs to use the roller-blade wheels and come up with a better suspension system because photography professionals are using this basically as carry-on luggage with their very expensive gear. People are running to the gate to get to their plane and roller-blade like wheels would get them moving just a little quicker. While I think the setup as it is probably absorbs bumps well enough, I would feel better with larger roller-blade like wheels that could better take a bump especially when I have thousands of dollars in lenses in the case. Im going to look into replacing the wheels on this case myself with the roller-blade type.The padded dividers could use a bit more. I doubled the padding on the bottom of the case by the wheels and on the sides using foam I had around here. In compartments where I was storing an expensive lens, I was sure to put more padding. The padding provided is your basic variety. I am guessing they only used so much because they didnt want to crowd the box and reduce the storage. So if you put lenses or cameras in here, think about doubling up the padding in the spaces you put these items.Actually I just looked at the wheels right now. I had wheeled the case down about 3 city blocks on a New York City sidewalk and they look a little chewed up. In comparison, on my Samsonite luggage which I have wheeled around the country at various airports and streets that has the Roller-blade like wheels there is not so much wear. I have a feeling I will be calling Pelican about these wheels in the future.So this case will protect your gear and will make it through a bad storm to boot, but I dont think it was made for the traveler who wheels their stuff through every street and airport. This is an easy modification however for Pelican. The case needs larger roller-blade like wheels.If you are looking for a good lock for this case, then I suggested the Abus 170/40 (3 digit combination) or the Abus 41/40 (keyed) with the 1/4 inch diameter shackle. For TSA locks, Sesamee makes a heavy duty version with a 1/4 inch shackle which fits, however, I am not too crazy about the construction. The Abus lock has latches on both sides and seems a lot stronger. Here is the Abus lock that I have with my case. I posted pictures. It fits perfectly. I use the TSA lock for airport travel, but once out of the airport the Abus locks go on:http://www.amazon.com/Abus-Resettable-Laminated-Combination-Padlock/dp/B004C407EE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369234768&sr=8-1&keywords=abus+170%2F40If you want the highest security padlock which can fit this case then there is the Abus 88/40 plus. Its pricey, but its the padlock which offers the best security.http://www.amazon.com/Abus-Brass-Padlock-Cylinder-ABU8840C/dp/B001ACTD50There are quite a few more Abus locks which will fit on there too. Look for a lock which has shackle with a 1/4 inch diameter.Any padlock can be cut by a bolt cutter, but I prefer to have the best lock available then none. So the Abus 41/40, 170/40 and 88/40 are the best ones available for this case.

   I bought this with the 1569 lid organizer for photo gear. Why didn’t I buy this case sooner? This is a fantastic way to store gear where you know once its there its safe. I’m not sure I could actually get it to go carry on (it’s not sized for that), but its not that far off. Also full of gear mine is really heavy so I’m not sure putting it in the overhead is a good idea anyway. Though I’m not planning to flying with it, maybe a gate check with TSA locks.After receiving this and putting it into action without a doubt go with padded dividers if you want to reuse it in the future. I think foam is good if you have a fixed piece of equipment and you don’t plan on changing it out in the future. My photo gear gets replace periodically and this way I can just reconfigure the dividers. The foam would most likely offer more overall protection, but you sacrifice being able to reconfigure it over time and will loose some space just because of the way foam cutouts work.The 1569 Lid organizer is also a must. Simply fantastic and makes the 1560 with padded dividers great. The 1569 lid organizer screws in with provided screws into screw holes already in place. Well done Pelican! If you go with the divider and you plan on travel with this, you’ll probably want to put a piece of foam between the gear and the lid organizer. (I’m thinking a towel, since that also has photo uses). But still overall great.Finally one thing to note, I’ve read all kinds of reviews on moisture in air tight containers that sit closed for long periods of time. Most of them talk about safes where the paper actually degrades fairly fast due to air moisture. Not sure why that would actually happen, but for a little extra I also added in a silica gel descant into my case to help remove any moisture I introduce into it.This case has two latches that close securely but if I were wheeling it around I would consider putting at least one lock or some device into one of the two locking holes just to make sure it didn’t accidentally get unlatched and open up. For air travel it has two lock holes near each latch. So you’ll need two locks if you want to secure it.

   It is a pelican case. Solid and it protects the contents.

   I use a few Pelican cases for luggage, yup thats right, just for luggage. A 1560 can fit about a weeks worth of clothes for me, and if I’m going on a longer trip, I daisy chain these with a Large S Biner from Nite Ize and pull them around the airport like a little train. Never have to buy a suitcase again and its perfect to sit on if theres a wait at the counters.

   For anyone who may be wondering, the HTC VIVE Pro 2, and all its components, fits nicely in this case.
