Porter Case makes a great hard sided case. Check it out.

I own a D7100 and a D750, along with SB-700 Speedlight. Looking for something to carry this gear along with Nikon’s Big 3 lenses. I have the 24-70mm f/2.8. The 70-200mm f/2.8 will be here this week, and I Know I will need the 14-24mm f/2.8 in the upcoming weeks. Gotten good comments often from UHH readers and need advice on the best value for the money in a tough, dependable, not terribly expensive case. Need it large enough to hold all my gear and still have a bit space for straps, hoods, etc. I’ve seen some pretty awesome gear. What would y’all say is the best current direction for cases if one is in the market for value for tough, dependable cases (not just the most expensive, please).

I have used Pelican for quite a number of years. Only one of them failed on me, a closing latch broke. It was 7 years old and I was sent 2 latches plus pins at no charge. Read the warrantee. ("...with exception for tornadoes, grizzly bears and 5-year olds."

Check out Harbor Freight (of all places!). They have a number of camera cases (Apex brand) which are rugged, well designed and reasonably priced.

Pelican makes a wide variety of excellent cases. All are very tough, most are versatile. I use them, and like all but the weights.

I prefer the Pelican case I think its the 510 with the padded camera insert. That thing will take a beating and if it drops in the water it floats. Very good strong case and I have 2 for my cameras. I do have one I will sell if interested but it only has the stiff foam and not the padded insert but it can be ordered. I'm at, dasemail41@yahaoo.com, just in case
Thanks, David

Perfect for travel, storage and to leave in the trunk of the car during a shoot. Get a holdfast money maker two camera strap and a small think tank retrospective shoulder bag to hold your extra lens for "working" flexibility.



Thanks for the heads up. I own the moneymaker and a lens bag. Since the Pelican 1650 is big enough to keep all my gear in, not to mention waterproof, I’ll use that at home to easily get gear in and out of and take the MoneyMaker and lens bag on day shoots. Overnight I can put Pelican in trunk.

I also have two other pelican cases and the large one does have the camera insert. Just in case anyone wants to know or needs one. I'll find the number and list it if anyone is interested.

For airplane flights, I always travel with my Pelican case.

Thanks David, I'm more interested in buying new, though.
