Joe And The Volcano

Those of you who remember this movie with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan will recognize the new Pelican product in the shop. Think of the luggage.


I have not yet tried to float the new Pelican 350 case in the Swan River but I am sure that it would do just fine. It's the biggest Pelican I've ever seen, and someone somewhere needs it.

The inside dimensions on this are massive - 50.8 cm x 50.8 cm x 47 cm. I am not sure what that equates to in litres but there is room in there for even the largest of large format camera systems - or video rigs, pro outfits, complete lens collections, two slabs of beer, or lots of lighting gear. Of course it features the watertight Pelican rubber seal and multiple locking points to keep it secure, and there are security lock points as well.

If this is loaded, don't expect to tote it yourself - like a full Esky, you need a mate to help you lift it onto the ute. It is tough enough that you can stand on it to get a view over the crowd, and I shouldn't be surprised if you could not prop up a corner of the ute as well. The bottom panel is well re-enforced.

In short, folks, this is just one big black tough cube. If you need to carry something big in perfect safety, here is your answer.
