I made a box using 1/2" plywood you can design it so you don't have to remove it from the box to use it or remove and use the top of the box as a work top. As you know by now it is heavy and awkward. The plywood box will give you good protection. Good luck

I'm wondering the same. I bought a Belkin case here, but it was too small (some reviews said it was big for their 17", so I thought it'd be perfect..).

Pelican cases come with a solid block of black foam in the main compartment that is subdivided into pre-cut little 1/2" cubes. You can lay out your own plan to determine which parts to cutaway in order to create your own custom packing. I have a Sony pro video recording camera, a closeup lens and spaces for an external mic, each resting in its own cutaway region and they are perfectly padded and protected. The case is exceptional, watertight, strong, very well made and it's a joy to roll when the need arises with a slide-up handle. It was a worthy investment and the 1510 is the largest TSA approved carry-on size It easily fits into the overhead airline compartments so, I never have to check my camera. I give it my top rating... and if the foam ever wears out or you want to use the same case for different collections of gear, you can buy extra replacement block inserts of the pre-cut black foam. The lid can be fitted with an optional 5, nylon-mesh, zippered bags that can hold small stuff like cables, tapes, parts, etc. and I would add this for sure.

I bought the Caselogic TBC-302 Ultra Compact Camera Case w/Storage. It's light, strong and the carabiner and belt loop are indispensable. Sold by Amazon.

The case is very well built and of very good quality. It is an expensive piece, but I would ask what it is you will be using it for? For storage at Home? For transporting to the park? Or for travel on planes? I use it for all of the above. With pros and cons to each scenario, the main purpose of this case is ultimately protection and has enough storage to comfortably fit extra DJI batteries, controller, FPV system and respective chargers. I have traveled with the case all around the globe, yet if air travel is the main purpose, I would suggest the same case with wheels. If you are not carrying the case long distances, then this model is fine. It is bulky, but have proven that it can fit in planes overhead compartments; Boeing 737s and Airbus 319s and larger. Anything smaller and you will have to check the case. Would suggest doing it gate side as I don't think you'd want your drone being flung with suitcases the baggage handlers "gently" toss on to conveyor belts. Expensive, but worth it. Hope this helps.

I purchased the Dreadnought Seagull case. It is the next best thing to a hardcase. I was very impressed with the quality....I love it.

I'd stick with the stuff that has been proven over the years. This Pelikan case I own IS tuff and well-built. It houses my Hasselblad, Nikon body, Horizon camera and various lenses, bits and pieces. You might want the pad devider and the lid organizer as well to round things off - After all it's not only the impact force on the case itself you have to consider, but the inertia of the camera kit itself, trying to continue on it's 'flight path' trough any case. In case you are in doubt if this case will protect you gear - It's good enough for the Military, where possible malfunction in the gear to be protected might cause the loss of life. Hope this helps!

I haven't gotten around to purchasing a case as of yet. Should you happen to find one that suits the FR-55, please let me know.

There are dedicated lid organizers for each type of Pelican case. The 1519 for its size may fit but the predrilled holes for the attachment points may not match up with the IM2500 case. If that is indeed correct you can always use industrial Velcro to attach the lid organizer and not bother with the screw in attachments. Hope this helps. BTW, I have and use six different Pelican cases of various sizes. Several have lid organizers and I only attach them with industrial Velcro since in some cases I don't want to utilize the lid organizer and it is easier to remove. Understand, if you are really going to load the lid organizer with gear you need to use a lot of Velcro to attach the organizer. There are dedicated lid organizers for each type of Pelican case.

From looking at the case, it appears like many pelicans I am familiar with. It has a rubber strip on the upper lid part that meets with a beveled lip on the lower or case part that seems to make it quite air tight. I even applied pressure to the top of the case just now and then opened a latch and I could hear air escaping with a slight whistle. This much tells me the case is quite air tight. I would say that in the rain, even heavy rain it would be fine, I would trust it.

I ordered mine directly from Corsair. I just got lucky, sort of, because after all the charges from the drop shipping to California then the UPS charge, I could have easily bought a nicer case from an American company like CaseLabs. Their Magnum STX 10 case is awesome. The only problem is that it comes flat shipped and you have to buy all of your fan mounting hardware. So basically you end up with about a 900.00 case anyway, but their HDDs and SSD mount out of site in the right side panel, pretty awesome. It's so customizable that I think I want one of their cases instead. It has like 7 radiator mounting options and will hold 4 power supplies. I can't see any one needing four power supplies, but I also never thought I would need two. Corsair told me these will not be released until the end of May, unless you are lucky enough to score on of the ten or so that they send to Newegg or Amazon.

Best I can offer is this lil' trick: I have 3 units. I went to Dick's Sports and bought a $9 hand gun case. It's got padding in it, it's plastic, and it's the right size for a few of these. It fits three units plus batteries and 5/8" to coldshoe adapters for each (so I can place on stands). I'm sure there's cases like this on here on Amazon. I consider these a poor man's pelican but be clear that while protective they are no pelican case. I hope this helps.

Mine did. I have never enjoyed a case like the pelican. I use it as a work box for all my extra supplies. I am an audio engineer and have tons of supplies I MIGHT need.

The end piece that "latches" to the lock itself is tiny. It fits through the holes in my pelican. a 1510 in case you want to research the size. But...i would say order one try it out. They're cheap and if works...Viola.

More than enough space dude. You will be happy with this case, just try not to scratch it;) plenty of room for all types of upgrades.

I am not familiar with the Pelican Case, however, this pack has adjustable dividers that are nicely padded. I've been using my Activ Pak for about 1.5 years and am quite satisfied with the level of protection it provides for my various photography tools (body, lenses, flash, etc.,).

Took it out in the rain, the bag gets soaked and heavy very quickly. I highly suggest a Pelican Case (DSLR size w/lenses runs roughly around $110 I think). This bag however is very good for day to day use and is very easy to organize on the go.
