I really like how honest this was to be from the manufacturer. When the presenter was just about to say the top handle on the Air version was a little less comfortable, I was thinking the same thing. Most manufacturers would not have said that. But then he went on to remind us that we don't usually carry from that handle anyway. I am a budding wedding photographer currently working out of two textile backpacks with zippers. I think I'll be picking out one of the Air cases so I can lock my gear to something to prevent theft while I'm chasing the wedding party around.
Seriously, how amazing is it that Pelican has made these videos themselves, instead of relying on other people to do the comparison? I love my 1615, and was looking for a smaller companion. Definitely getting the 1535. Great comparison, thank you!
Excellent comparaison. Thanks. I'll stay with my 1510. I do +150 flights (North American) per year and have had no problems with my 1510 for gear and a 1500 as a briefcase.
I just got my 1535 AIR Travel with the TSA lock latches and it absolutely PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!! The Pelican I'm looking to get is the1615 hopefully soon. Pelican makes the BEST cases in the game in my opinion! Made in the USA!!
For some reason all the major luggage manufacturers are now using zips for their luggage, despite how comically easy it is to open using a ballpoint pen. My next luggage will be a 1535 for sure.
Should have shown the hardware mounting holes inside the lid. Would like to see how the Air has them situated. Mainly because I'm out of a 1550 that I picked up new/used but is completely devoid of screw mounting holes in it's lid.
I wish you guys would offer these with swivel wheels. I know it may take away of space inside but the spinning luggage is so nice for moving in those long TSA lines. (I fly out of Atlanta)
Thx! I was wondering what the two strips of foam were intended for in the TrekPak kit for my 1535. Now I know. You all could do yourselves a huge favor by slashing the prices of the TrekPak kits as one can make them for about $30 or so. Just saying. I actually have another TrekPak kit coming for another brand's case (N**** 935) that I use for my photography equipment. That said, I will probably stay with Pelican from this point forward. And for the record, the pick and pluck is worthless in any case unless you need additional padding with the TrekPak.
Very good video! I own a 1560 with the TrekPak liner system...love it. Just returned from a week-long Alaska photo trip which, I took along my EF 500mm L lens...luckily, a friend loaned me his MindShift MP 3V2 carry on bag...all went well...and happy I took the long lens! Next trip tho, I would love to find a solution with wheels! Additional gear in the bag included the following: Lenses (Canon) - 100-400, 24-105, 20-35, and a 1.4 III extender; Bodies - 1DX and 5D Mk IV. Based on the specs I am seeing, either the 1510 or 1535 will work...the 1535 weight is pushing me in that direction. Suggestions with any and all experiences traveling with this equipment is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!!!
We have approximately 90 pelican cases of all shapes and sizes. We recently acquired a 45w Trotec Speedy 100 laser engraver and would like to engrave the name plate. Any clue what the settings might be?
Besides the Cargo line, Which case line is best for mounting to a vehicle rack for camping and adventure? Looking for a thin long case. Vault? Protector? Other?
I have a Peli 1750 I use it for a several thousand UK £ Surgeon action based rifle with NF NSX 56 MM scope & moderator. Peli is the only case I would trust this rifle to. The only issue is the Wheels they are like the steel wheels on my roller skates in the 1950’s. I have known lots of photographers who put in line poly skate wheels on their boxes as on RUclips . This is not an option on the 1750. Will you please consider making the best case the ultimate case and put quality poly wheels on your cases,
The ones with the Top Handles are the newest design/version. When they first came out they did not have a handle and after user feedback it was added. Most of the images you'll find online probably don't show but if you buy from us it will come with the handle since we sold out off all the old versions. Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
Hi, are the wheels the same? I find the ones of my 1535 very hard and noisy. I don't really feel comfortable to carry it around on asphalt or roads with expensive gear inside. It's good for airports, alright, I get it, but on asphalt?? I feel like the wheels on the 1510 are smoother, am i wrong? Thank you
I just ordered an air pelican case and after watching this video now I’m worried. To me the air looks like it’s made out of that same shitty plastic that the storm cases are made out of where you can take your fingernail and scratch it. The original pelicans never had this issue, but I swore off storm cases years and years ago because of this.
Good morning. How much weight can both cases take on top. Say I want to use it as a stool at a sports event, would this be ok to use as a chair? Hope that makes sense.
Problem is that although many European airlines will have the same linear requirement of 115 cm, the size has to be within 55x40x20 cm. The Pelican cases are too big.
This video is great! Thinking about using one for a top box on a Yamaha XT250. It looks like the handle and wheel assembly can be removed from the heavier one.
Dee Yammy although heavier, it’s frame is more sturdy and you can get it with laptop sleeve, not sure if you can get that with the 1535. Ive now got both and love them both. The lighter one is nice for the weight saving but once full it’s going to be too heavy to bring on as hand luggage on a plane anyway.
I'm guessing not, however, I wonder if anyone is using these to shoot out of a car? I would like something like this, that would hold two pro style DSLR's (with integrated vertical grips......like a Nikon D4 type camera) with lenses (nothing crazy long) attached? Would one of these sit on the passenger seat of a Honda Accord?
Hii guys! I'm a music producer and I want to travel with my mobil set up. I want to carry my 2 HS8 Yamaha Speakers, My Apollo twin interface and my TLM 103 Neumann and other stuff like cables. What case do I need to put on all my stuff.??? Cheers
That’s cool however there are folding aids plus vacum bags that would allow us as packers to fill either one of these bags I mean suitcases for extreme traveling.. ouch my spelling . Sorry have a great idea one suitcase packing challenge.
@@michaelbobarev If you do the math from the specs, the internal volume of the 1535 is only 4 cu in less than the 1510. The specs say the internal depth of the 1535 is internal depth is 0.4 in shallower than the 1510. Neither difference is significant for me. The 1510 has the pull-out handle screwed on to the outside of a slightly shallower case. The 1535 has the pull out handle molded into the case to save weight so it appears to take up more space but it doesn't. The depth of both cases is 9.0 inches.

Thank you for this comparison I was so confused on the difference
Ordered mine today, hopefully I get a email with a purchase confirmation soon
Do the 1510 lid organisers work with the 1535?
Does anyone know?
@@dsxmnc3 no, each have their own organizer

Classic 1510 is still the ChamP! Got 8 of them in Black, Red, Blue, Yellow, and Grey. Love Pelican Cases! 😍
Awesome thank you. Getting one for sure just need to see which one would work best for me. Thank you 🙏

How comes the 1535 Air in your video comes with a top handle but all the cases online don't have one?

@@PelicanCasesForLess woa. game changer! i literally was going to get the 1510 just bc of that top handle!!
@@PelicanCasesForLess Is there a SKU for the new version so I can easily distinguish the new one from the old?
Thanks I finally got how to pull up carrier handle!!
Who knows what is the next size up after 1535? I got one but it is a little smaller than I expected...
Hi, are the wheels the same? I find the ones of my 1535 very hard and noisy. I don't really feel comfortable to carry it around on asphalt or roads with expensive gear inside. It's good for airports, alright, I get it, but on asphalt?? I feel like the wheels on the 1510 are smoother, am i wrong?

same strength and durability ?

The original pelicans never had this issue, but I swore off storm cases years and years ago because of this.
Would be nice if you used numbers and measurements instead of “big” and “depth”
Like how do I know if my stuff will fit with padding?
they sell padding with these cases.
Is there a smaller class as 1510?
Good morning. How much weight can both cases take on top. Say I want to use it as a stool at a sports event, would this be ok to use as a chair? Hope that makes sense.
Yes, you can use these as a chair.
Are both cases made in the USA?
The wheels on my 1535 just gave way, is it possible to replace them with the 1510 wheels?
Lifetime warranty. Pelican will replace them for free.
Problem is that although many European airlines will have the same linear requirement of 115 cm, the size has to be within 55x40x20 cm. The Pelican cases are too big.
I've flown all over Europe with the 1510; never had to gate-check it once.
This video is great! Thinking about using one for a top box on a Yamaha XT250. It looks like the handle and wheel assembly can be removed from the heavier one.
- So, which model do You want ?
Me : Yes .
I wonder which one is ideal for raw comic books 🤔 if I lay them sideways
Is it can be locked?
Hi Pelican, which case fits best in the Tesla model 3 cubby space in the trunk ? 1510 or 1520. That’s the small space under the cover.
Thank you for the comparison
Would this fit an Elo 1919L touchscreen or does anyone else have other suggestions?
i wonder why tupperware does not make this kind of cases... would not be difficult for them.
I have both. My favorite is 1510
Thanks mate, I have the 1535 and am thinking of buying the 1510 as my second
Why? I'm about to buy one and curious why you prefer the 1510?
Dee Yammy although heavier, it’s frame is more sturdy and you can get it with laptop sleeve, not sure if you can get that with the 1535. Ive now got both and love them both. The lighter one is nice for the weight saving but once full it’s going to be too heavy to bring on as hand luggage on a plane anyway.

Would one of these sit on the passenger seat of a Honda Accord?
how do you suggest you carry a tripod in conjunction with this case?
Bungee cord
So the handles on the air case don’t go flat so they will be always sticking out?
But is the 1535 as bomb proof? Can you stand on it like an Apple box?
I have the same question!
Hii guys! I'm a music producer and I want to travel with my mobil set up. I want to carry my 2 HS8 Yamaha Speakers, My Apollo twin interface and my TLM 103 Neumann and other stuff like cables. What case do I need to put on all my stuff.??? Cheers
Buy Nanuk instead.
How hard is it for luggage reviewers to have a standard week's worth of clothes and travel accessories, and just show us how much stuff fits?!
That’s cool however there are folding aids plus vacum bags that would allow us as packers to fill either one of these bags I mean suitcases for extreme traveling.. ouch my spelling . Sorry have a great idea one suitcase packing challenge.
😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
They should go under the seats on a plane right
Do these case TSA compatible?
Probably use 2 TSA padlocks.
1510 much better ... !
why?
White Buffalo because of safety! plus internal space ...
