welcome to another unboxing I personally am of the philosophy that expensive
products should come with expensive accessories already but it almost seems
like it works the opposite way doesn't it folks where the more expensive a
product is the more the manufacturer kind of goes ah it's okay they can
afford it don't worry about it so this guy right here this is my NX whatever
the heck it's called fs700 camera it's like 8,500 bucks with the lens kit
didn't come with a carrying case no I have to spend another hundred bucks or
$200 or whatever this thing ended up costing me on a carrying case because I
have to take that camera with me to CES
which I am of course super super excited
about so let's have a look at what Pelican has to say for themselves as if
no one's ever heard of a Pelican case anyway all right pelican cases what are
they good for h a lot of
stuff okay automatic pressure purge valve oneway membrane that releases air
pressure but keeps moisture out so yeah they're waterproof easy open double
throw latches secondary movement works like a pry bar to open with a light pull
you know it's a genuine pelicin Case by that unique dualband design metal
reinforced padlock protectors for added strength and extra security po polymer
O-rings provide a watertight seal for ultimate protection so basically these
are the way to transport super expensive
sensitive fragile equipment long
distances in rough conditions with no
risk to them now you know it's funny cuz I harp on packing
materials you know I always say it's going to have a soft foam
and for something like this I'd actually be disappointed if it did have any
packing materials inside the case because that to me would be an
indication that the manufacturer doesn't think it's suitable as a shipping
container so you'll be pleased to see there are absolutely
no packing materials whatsoever in the
box for my Pelican 1510 case what else
they say guarantees its products for a lifetime against breakage or defects in
workmanship they're guaranteed to be water typed to a depth of 3.3 ft for 30
minutes unless otherwise stated does not cover lamps or batteries etc etc etc no
abuse clean and inspect the O-ring regularly what else we got to say for
ourselves here metal reinforced pad loock protector 17-inch locking
retractable extension handle non-slip rubberized handles and automatic pressure Purge Val heavy duty urethane
wheels so here it is all right so what
do we got here there's our there's our heavy duty handle which has a rubberized
bottom for more Comfort when you're carrying it so it's got a little bit of softness to it but not much you can see
there's thick thick metal bolts through
not one but I mean even if one of these breaks off it's not going anywhere so
I'd expect to be able to basically swing this thing around by its handle without
any diff well it's heavy but you know other than that without any difficulty
here's our extending carrying handle which again is using an incredibly
rugged sort of construction there's no like telescoping metal sliders this is
just like a spring a spring-loaded thing here that fits into a notch at the
bottom and it's not going anywhere like I can put all my weight on this and it's
not going anywhere just like that all right so you can lock that into place
you can carry it by that if you want on the side you've got phenomenally rugged
looking hinges I'm actually feeling pretty good about this purchase even
though it's basically a you know I think I saw the invoice for it when I was
unboxing it it's like you know a couple hundred hunk of plastic essentially how
much was it pear Stone pear
Stone Pelican case yeah 140 bucks $140
piece of plastic but I'm feeling pretty good I mean looking at stuff like this
and how it's got nice long metal rods that go through you know one two three
like a triple hinge sort of design here
okay the Wheels look like wheels so nothing out of the ordinary there and
here we go here's the main carrying handle so this guy is again our rubber
bottomed and then again it's got sort of two pieces of metal or two pieces of
plastic interlocked with three on either side there's those metal reinforced
padlock spots not one but two of them so in theory if you were going to use this
as like if you were going to um check it at the airport or whatever else it
should be harder to cut your padlocks off and uh let's go ahead and see there's
the front so there's some chicken a wet suit over 40 sizes automatic pressure
where did where did that pressure valve go where is that here's the bottom looks
like it could take some sliding without any difficulty I didn't see the pressure
valve oh yeah there it is hiding right under my hand genuine Pelican case all
right let's open this baby up and see what we got okay so okay ah there we go
so it latches is kind of twice okay so
it goes down once but then comes up
twice okay neat and it comes with super thick foam
inside which you can actually totally customize okay so thank you for your
purchase warranty card or something like that special instructions humidity
o-ring cleaning instructions solid foam comes with a solid foam follow these
steps to customize your layout layout all the items on top of the foam so I
for example would take something like my camera and I'd put it here uh it's
obvious I'm not going to get my shotgun mic in there at the same time using
chalk Trace around the items to create an outline leave at least one inch of
foam between the items and the walls of the case so you can't go too close to
the walls they don't want you to just you know eat it all up here so remove
components from the foam with the foam protruding blah blah blah use an 8 in
electric knife or very sharp blade and begin cutting when you simp enough mistake is made use a rubber cement or
spray adhesive to repair the foam remove Chalk Outline with the damp clah blah
blah blah we recommend gluing the cut section so basically uh this one seems
to come with little squares so you could just pull out the squares although some
of them have solid foam so you would have to cut that you can see you can
remove however many squares you want to make your equipment fit and it goes all
the way down the entire depth of the case so you can see these are cut all
the way through or perforated all the way through so you can do whatever you
need to do to get whatever gear you want packed into here and then there's one
more layer of foam at the bottom for the ultimate and protection so I have heard
that this Pelican case is a good fit for this particular camera so we'll have to
figure out how exactly it goes in there this piece comes off it's just a matter
of going like this and removing it and then this piece comes off so it looks
like it's going to fit in there just fine kind of right there and then some
accessories can go around it and we should be good to go for our trip to CES
