RE: Re[2]: I'm Back /Portland race shots
It is a nice, expensive, hard case for carrying camera equipment. Otherwise, it's a bird whose beak can hold more than his belly can. :-) Whether it's handy or not, is kind of subjective. If you really need one, it's definitely handy.

Re: Re[2]: I'm Back /Portland race shots
A pelican is a bird, not too handy, unless you're a hungry crocodile. A Pelican case is a brand name for cases that are built tough to protect expensive & fragile gear, and have foam inside that can be custom carved to your equipment. Very handy.

Re: Re[2]: I'm Back /Portland race shots
Watch out with checked baggage - the airlines only insure cases for a few hundred dollars (400?), with lower limits on things like jewelry and cameras. And if you ask them to mark it fragile, they often ask you sign a damage claim waiver, and if you refuse to sign, they then refuse to take the item. Too many lawyers.
