Because I am 78 years old and 130 lbs. and my camera bag with equipment
weighs 25 lbs. Almost every Delta flight from here goes through Atlanta
which is a huge airport. I am tired of carrying it; I'd rather pull it.

That's the same reason I bought my Pelican 1510 with wheels. Now at age 84 I could use some wheels under myself too.

Actually Jerry, I bought it because the price was right and if I waited longer, it could go up. You'd find a use for it.....even in your car things get bumped around. This is solid, really solid and you don't have to get it w/ the foam cubes (I did), I believe there are a couple diff. styles in insides. Glad you ck'd it out anyway......
I got the yellow!
I got the yellow!
I saw that. Hard to miss in a crowd.

Why do you want a Hard Shell case? I fly between 20 and 25 flights a year to various locations. My gear includes 3 bodies and multiple lenses including 600mm f4; 300mm f2.8 and several others. Everything fits into two of Thinktank largest roller bags. They are very well constructed and padded enough. It is not like baggage guys are throwing them around and all are carry-ones that fit overhead. On smaller feeder airlines, I do have to gate check them unless there are empty seats where I can place them. I do not transport the bodies with a lens mounted. Have a look at the Thinktank roller models.
Good luck

Just now saw a used Porter brand hard case with wheels ( padded adjustable dividers )( 20 inches length ) on eBay. Opening bid @ $57 plus $30 S/H with no bidders so far. It's on auction from ColumbusCameraGroup. Might be a way to try out hard cases for cheap.
