Help! Pelican 1510 owners

I know a lot of you use the Pelican 1510 case when you travel. Have any of you put the 300mm f2.8 IS in it? Does it fit okay? I have a trip to Churchill this October to see the polar bears and I need to get a hard case to carry on the various flights. I'm also taking my 30D, 24-105L, 100-400, 1.4X & 2X with me.

It will fit all of that for sure.

to see how much the damn thing can fit

Thanks Pendulum15, that was very helpful

It's pretty roomy, but the 300 is huge. I wish I had one. I do have the 1510, though.

Thanks! Your kit is almost the same as mine in sizes. Thanks for the photos. How do you like the lid pack? It looks like it holds a lot of cards, batteries , cables, etc

The lid pack is great. It keeps all the small parts from getting lost and a mess.
I just added a Domke F2 to my collection. It is really nice for hauling limited gear to different locations.
My 1510 now is used for long trips and storage when I need to take the 300mm
BTW I ordered the 1514 which includes the padded dividers.

I took a 300 2.8, 70-200 2.8, 16-35 2.8, 2 bodies, flash, and some small extras all in a 1510 all on an assignment over New Years. It fit pretty well, and worked really well.

Thanks to everyone for their great info. I ordered a 1514 with a lid organizer last night. BTW I ordered mine from Boss Safety Products and got it for just under $200. If you live some place other that California and order from Boss you might get it for less than $190( if you don't have to pat the sales tax).

Nope I don't work for Boss. I did an extensive search for the best price and it always came back to Boss. I bought safety equipment from them before and they are reliable
