Pelican�s $170 1510 carry on case is advertised as a durable, dustproof, and watertight option for hauling your camera equipment from place to place, but how well does it actually keep water out? Nathan Taylor decided to find out with a personal test in a swimming pool. He shares his experiment and findings in the 1-minute video above.
�I tested if the Pelican cases really are waterproof/watertight by taking it for a swim. Turns out they are,� Taylor tells PetaPixel. �This isn�t an endorsement video, I just had to see it to believe it.�
�I dunked this thing over and over, and put all of my 190lbs on it as long as I could to sink it. It was difficult to keep underwater.� In the end, the case emerged from the pool with its interior compartment perfectly dry. And it turns out Pelican cases can double as a personal floatation device as well!
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
