Photographers and videographers need to protect expensive equipment. Whether you're working in the studio or dealing with the elements, your equipment must be tough and dependable storage. That's why creators adore used Pelican cases—they provide the same rugged safety as new cases but at a much lower price.

At The Case Place, we offer top-quality second-hand Pelican cases, such as the Pelican Storm case, to enable content creators to protect their equipment without going broke.

Why Creators Need Used Pelican Cases

1. Better Protection Against Damage

Photography and video equipment is a costly investment. Used Pelican cases offer:

Crushproof protection against impact damage

Waterproof and dustproof sealing to exclude moisture

Shock-resistant foam interiors to protect sensitive equipment

2. Budget-Friendly Without Sacrificing Quality

A brand-new Pelican case can be costly, but second-hand Pelican cases offer the same quality at up to 50% less. At The Case Place, we carefully inspect all pre-owned cases to ensure they meet professional standards.

3. Lightweight Yet Rugged Design

If you're always on the go, weight is an issue. The Pelican Storm case is a lighter version of standard Pelican cases without sacrificing unparalleled strength. This makes it a favorite among travel photographers and filmmakers.

4. Custom Foam Interiors

Every second-hand Pelican case includes adjustable foam inserts, which enable photographers and videographers to set up a customized-fit configuration for:

DSLR and mirrorless cameras

Lenses and flashes

Drones and accessories

External hard drives and storage

How to Select the Proper Used Pelican Case for Your Gear

When you are choosing a used Pelican case, keep the following in mind:

Size & Compatibility: Make sure the case accommodates your camera bodies, lenses, and accessories.

Foam vs. No Foam: Some cases come with pre-cut foam, while others provide you with the ability to customize padding.

Weather Resistance: Opt for waterproofing for outdoor photography shoots.

Portability: If you travel frequently, opt for a Pelican Storm case due to its lightweight nature.
