Hi, I'm looking for something to move camera equipment (Well packed) with a hard case. Would this be ok to travel with in an airport?

I think it would be fine to travel in an airport. Our daughter used it to travel by train across the country. It held up very well.

We are missionaries living in Africa and our son is as well. We all have used these trunks often to travel and carry stuff back to Africa. They have held up well through about 3-4 times across the water. They might take even more. I don't know. I would suggest you get a TSA lock for the trunk as well as cover the clasps with duct tape to make sure they don't get flipped open in the jostling. Get the kind with wheels so that it is easier to move. Hope this helps.

i think you can find something that will provide a tighter fit. thatz the key to secure equipment during transport............

Yes, it is. In fact I would prefer a bigger one for international flights... you can pack a laptop and your photo equipment on this one but there is no room for any clothes or something else...

Pelican advertises that this case is the largest carry-on permitted by most airlines. It will fit under the seat in front of you, but is quite heavy. Juggling it into the overhead luggage space might be hard, but possible. For keeping cameras an other valuables close by, a smaller case would be more practical.

Sorry, I don't travel with it. Probably a large camera equipment bag like we had when cameras were much larger would be good, if they still sell them.

It carries a lot of gear. I use it to get my gear to my car and then when I am out and about I only take what I need. It should fit into the overhead, just be careful not to pack it so full.

Yes for sure. But the tripod is heavy so you won't want to carry it around with you all the time.

Al, thanks. I use mine to carry camera equipment, so it wouldn't apply under the same rules for traveling with firearms. When I used to travel up to ND Pheasant hunting, we opened the cases at the counter, they checked to see that the shotguns were unloaded and no shells in the case, they stickered the case as inspected, I locked it and they put it in the conveyor to the plane.

I bought this exclusively for my move from Seattle to San Francisco. As long as you don't check your instrument (this should be avoided regardless of the durability of your case), it should be fine in the overhead compartments/captain's locker.

Yes, it does meet SouthWest's carry-on size requirements. That said, however, I would say to travel with this case is at your own risk. As a carry on, it will survive, but if it ever goes with the baggage, I fear it would eventually break. While it is sturdy enough for personal, non-travel use, I would guess it isn't meant for heavy duty use. The foam pick-foam padding inside isn't the best, so only put things in there that aren't too critical. I store my old flash-guns for my film-cameras in mine. I rarely ever use them, unless I need to get extra light and I have used all my other flash-guns. I am not worried if the old flashes get banged around a bit more, but I would never transport my camera or lenses in this. Too risky!

I would never travel with this thing...it's a BEAST. Unless you have a box van with a bunch of gear, not for travel. I would say only for studio work.

Yes, but it depends. If you have large lenses it will be tight. I just took a two week trip in Europe and it is tough. But loaded down this thing is very heavy. Be careful about checking it on a plane. I had to check it on a small plane for my first flight and the axle bent the first time. It still roles but disappointed I bent the first use.

Yes this case is awsome for transporting your guns with the airlines. I took mine to Alaska a couple times with no problems, and it comes with its own locks, which is nice. I did not use any other locks for transportation amd had no issues.

It's a pretty sturdy case! I'm sure it could handle some bumping around. But I've seen the way some baggage handlers throw things around. I wouldn't chance it.

This case is extremely heavy. Check out the weight. I love the case. I travel internationally and it goes overhead. If you want to attach a tripod, I guess you could figure something out on attaching. I don't use a tripod. I love the case. It is tough. I purchased the organizer for the lid and the compartments for the base.

1. That would depend on the aircraft. Small regional jets maybe not. Could probably be shoved under a seat but it is rather large and bulky. You would have no room left for your feet. 2. The camera bag is an integral part of the entire bag. I got rid of mine as it was useless to me.

Yes should be fine. There is a small separate area for a memory stick and the case is a bit large for the camera I have.
