Vault V525 Hard Case (Camera, Pistol, Gear, Equipment)

I own five of this exact case. I use them for photography equipment, carrying various camera bodes, lenses and other accessories. I have tried and own a lot (a whole lot) of camera cases, and I have to say that the overall value for the money of the Pelican brand products, you cannot go wrong. The overall quality of these cases is great. You can tell that it's a solid case from the start. When empty, it is much lighter than others in it's class, but the durability does not suffer because if this, it's still solid. I use mine for archery events and travel (globally) with them - a lot. They have been tossed around, dropped, and even run over by a side-by-side ATV - and it has survived and kept my equipment safe and spotless. I cannot really say enough good things about the Vault line from Pelican. I even have two of their longer cases to transport bows in - again - they have all been used HARD and ABUSED as well, and outside of normal scratches and dings, they are still going strong! I've had some for as long as I can remember now, and not a single one has any issue that would render it unusable. The latches have all held up well. The wheels still spin freely and smoothly. The inside of the case is nice and soft, and you can customize it for just about any use case. I can fit a lot of equipment in these things. Overall, I highly recommend these cases - you cannot go wrong at this price point. I believe you get just as much protection and quality from this case as you would with ones that are double the cost - and I can say that with confidence, as I own and have used those other cases.

Sturdy, good volume. Easily fit my two Z8 cameras with the attached 600PF lens on one and the 135 Plena on the other. Enough space for the 24-120 f/4 in addition and the batteries, charger, various cables, cleaning supplies etc. At the price they should include a lid organizer as well but I decided not to buy one since I feel it would compromise the protection for the gear by removing the lid foam.

Sturdy, spacious, and easy to handle.

Very useful for camera organization

Cant get much better protection than Pelican! This one is just the right size to use as a carry on when you fly. Solid and secure to protect your photography equipment.

The Pelican Case Vault V525 is an amazing carry-on case. It easily fit about four days’ worth of clothes plus two pairs of shoes with room to spare. The build quality is outstanding. Super durable and rugged, yet still sleek enough to travel with. The wheels roll smoothly, the latches feel secure, and it meets carry-on size requirements perfectly. For anyone who wants peace of mind knowing their belongings are well-protected while traveling, this case is a fantastic investment.

Very sturdy and the inside containers were partly useful in my situation. My purpose is to store and have easily available a Ruger PC Charger pistol and extra equipment. I ordered Magpul Daka flats and other Daka shaped inserts to make it very tight and secure. Love it.

I've been using Pelican cases for over 30 years, and have dozens of them - mainly the original super heavy duty ones and a few Storm models. Decided to try the Vault line. This V525 model is usually about $150, but was on sale for $112 on Amazon. Not watertight like the originals but is touted as storm proof. Don't need complete waterproof for every application. This case is sturdier than I anticipated. Well built (in Mexico). Comes with quality foam. The only problem I had was from this being too well put together. I wanted to remove the lid foam to install an aftermarket lid organizer. The lid foam had been glued in with some very strong adhesive. I tore the foam getting it out (despite heating the outside of the case first, which did soften the glue inside) and had to soak the lid inner surface in Goo-Gone for a couple of days to soften up the large amount of glue residue. This is a good feature for those owners who will never remove the lid foam, but for people like me who want more flexibility it is a pain. Velcro would have been a better solution. I have the 1510, Pelican Air 1535, and now this Vault v525 - these are all airline carry-on size. All are strong and secure with handles and wheels. The 1510 and 1535 are waterproof, the v525 storm proof. 1535 is most expensive, most elegant, and the lightest. Original 1510 is the heaviest and strongest - and the second most expensive. v525 is the cheapest and weighs in somewhere between the other two. Bottom line - the v525 is worth buying at the sale price of $112. At the regular price of $150 I would add a few $ and get the 1510. If light weight and good looks are your priorities then go for the Air 1535 (but you will spend more). If Pelican are reading this - forget gluing the foam into the v525 lid - a little Velcro would be much better.

I upgraded from the ‘Amazon basics’ version which only came with foam inserts. This is on a very different level. It’s lighter yet sturdier, the dividers are fantastic and this for me is way better value than the more expensive pelican air 1535. Get this, protect your stuff and keep it all together.

product zat onder het stof en stond vol met vlekken.

Was tired of strapping down ugly milk crates & I don't like the huge storage boxes, so decided to try this case instead. Not overly huge yet can actually hold a lot of gear, very durable & well sealed...I've yet to see any evidence of dust/water inside even after a pressure washing. Dual handles are great depending on which way you use it & although the travel handle/wheels are a great feature, I removed them for my intended use. I already had the v800 version so I knew the great quality I was getting! Installed on 2021 Sportsman Trail 570 & still have lots of room on each side for other stuff. Drilled to fit lock & ride flush-mount plungers, added rubber washers & it's still fully dust/waterproof!
