Hi all

This might not be for everyone, but I got this delivered today. RRP of $974.95 and the best I can see it at other stores is high 700s or low 800s.
A fairly big case which I will be using for my telescope, but you could probably chuck a body in here with a bit of effort, YMMV.

Here's a video showing the 1700 series cases in size

External Dimensions: 112.1 x 40.9 x 35.5 cm
Internal Dimensions: 104x x 32.8 x 31.8 cm
Waterproof (IP67 Rated)
Lid Depth: 6.5 cm
Bottom Depth: 24.3 cm
Weight: 12.25kg (doesn't feel it. My scope is lighter, but feels heavier)

    "25 x 25 x 25 millimetres" - might be a challenge for that body.

  • Benoffie on 25/10/2021 - 13:46

    Unfortunately not long enough for the rifles. Maybe the lego collection? 🤣

    We used to use these in a medical IT job I had. They take a beating and protect everything inside.

    • beatsntoons on 25/10/2021 - 14:14

      Yeah I've got a variety of cases from a few brands. The Pelicans are really well made. Always recommend them.

    I like the Australian blackbutt finish of this model:

    These things are built to last, only problem is that everything that I could put in them costs less than the case.

      so true.

      either you buy flimsy plastic box for $9 or you shell out $900 for a pelican case. there is no middle ground.

      the only thing I ever considered buying a case for seriously was my magic the gathering collection. but then i thought instead of buying a $600 case I could just buy $590 worth of cards and a flimsy plastic box. so i went with the flimsy plastic box then never ended up buying more cards.

      apart from collectables like cards or jewellerym the only thing i can think of that you would need these cases for is specialist expensive electronic equipment. perhaps if you have $3000 worth of camera equipment or a high end laptop computer you wish to use outdoors it might be worth spending $300 for a small pelican case.

        I use Pelicans for my photography gear. Whether that’s terrestrial or astrophotography, I try and put everything in a hard case to protect my gear

      • mapax on 25/10/2021 - 15:41

        Plenty of companies make cases that are middle ground, depending on what size you want.

        I transport my rifles in a toolpro branded case. A mate transports his metal detector in a pelican case.

        • Michael074 on 26/10/2021 - 16:05

          how are the toolpro cases compared to the pelican ones? they look decent.

          • mapax on 26/10/2021 - 16:34

            @Michael074: It’s not as nice as the pelican, but from memory my mate paid in the region of $500-$600 for his and I got the toolpro on a 50% sale for <$100.

            I’ve had it about 5 years and it’s done about a dozen trips to remote areas and a few short trips to the range.
            The foam is starting to rip a little in a few spots but hasn’t gone crumbly or anything like that. The current version of the rifle case is slightly longer than the version I bought, and if there is another 50% off sale I would likely buy that version.

      • Dubious speculation on 25/10/2021 - 15:54

        Lol if you can justify this case for camera gear you could easily fit in more than 30k of gear. Way more depending on what cinema camera/lenses you're using.

        • Michael074 on 26/10/2021 - 16:05

          ye honestly i don't know anything about camera equipment i was just giving a minimum viable figure for a small case, but i know that it can get very expensive well beyond 3k

  • 2jzzzz on 25/10/2021 - 15:25

    Super cheap autos range of cases are a pretty great middle ground.

      Yep. They have nothing this size, though. I looked around at a lot of options.
      They have one just as long but it’s not as deep.

      • Michael074 on 26/10/2021 - 16:08

        first time hearing about toolpro cases how are the quality wise compared to pelican cases?

        • beatsntoons on 26/10/2021 - 17:28

          if all you're doing is storing stuff under your bed, the quality is the same :)
          The foam is good, the seals seem fine, they've taken a bit of a beating as well.

          I have Craftright ones as well (Bunnings) and they're also good.

          I have purchased Pelican cases to store the bigger and more delicate items. E.g. a Canon 500 f/4 that I took overseas. Wouldn't chuck that in a Toolpro, that went into a Stormcase (Pelican owned). It went into the hold fine and came out the other side in perfect condition.

          • Michael074 on 27/10/2021 - 21:59

            @beatsntoons: I didn't realize bunnings had any i went to one and couldn't find anything except like i mentioned super cheap plastic boxes and then expensive steel boxes.

  • tonywind on 25/10/2021 - 21:13

    Do they do one in the 185cm length? hahahaha

  • panadol520 on 25/10/2021 - 22:24

    My Stinger just arrived from Afghan, perfect timing for a storage case. Will it fit though
