Hi all..

I currently use a pelicase 1510 which holds 2x bodies (camera bodies ;)) 1 with a 24-70 2.8 attached with hood. The other body sits alone with the 1510 carrying a 50mm, 2x batteries and a pace for memory cards. None of my other gear though.. I use foam...

Do any of use your pelicase with dividers and not foam? I know foam gives me a tighter fit, but dividers will give me more space. But the divider set is near on £80!?

I'm umming and arrring but want to be able to carry my equipment but packed safely and will dividers give me this?

Thanks for your help :thumbs:

Dividers all the way for me and i entrust it to £20,000 worth of kit and lug it all over the place with me

Ive got the 1610 which takes

2 X D3S
1 X Gripped D800
1 x 400mm F/2.8 with a 1.4x convertor and with hood attached in shooting position
1 x 70-200mm f/2.8
1 x 24-70mm f/2.8
1 x 28-70mm f/2.8
1 x 16-35mm f/4 VR
1 x 50mm f/1.8 AF-D
2 x 1.4x Converters
1 x 1.7x converter
1 x SB-600 flash
1 x Dell E6500 Latitute 15.4 inch laptop
4 x spare D3 batteries
2 x Latitude E6500 spare batteries
2 x Nikon D800 spare batteries
1 x Gerert relax stool
1 x Manfrotto 681B Monopod
1 x Cree bulb 1800 lumen torch
Think Tank Hydrophobia for the D3S/400mm
Home made cover for the D3S/70-200mm
Waterproof jacket
Waterproof trousers
Bag of bits including 2 x USB Card readers, 2 x mini mice, home made velcro mouse mat, spare flash cards, spare AA batteries, 2 x dongles on same network
4 x micro fibre 12x12 inch cloths

Could if needed get another 3-4 lenses or 2 more bodies if i reversed the 400mm lens hood and more room if i stood the 70-200mm on its end but i lay it down.

Foam is the most secure but it irritated me so I went with dividers, I have had no safety issues but in truth I haven't been throwing it about, just normal use.
 
The dividers make the 1510 far more practical as far as I'm concerned. Pack it properly and impact damage shouldn't be an issue.
 
Thanks all, much appreciated...

Wow Gary, very neatly packed! :thumbs:

I'm planning on changing to dividers, but will consider the change to a 1610 :thumbs:
