A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Is a Hard Case Worth it? (alien.top)

I've been looking at a Nanuk 915 for carrying my camera, lens, and laptop to sports games when I photograph them. My main reasons I am looking at it is the waterproofing (it sometimes rains spontaneously where I live), and more protection in case it gets bumped around or pushed over at a game, as that does happen a lot. Can anyone with a hard case back up my points, or should I stick with a soft case?

One of the best advantages of a pelican 1510 is that you can stand it on one end and sit on it! Can be a consideration if you attend events where a seat would be helpful to shoot from. Having waterproofing for outdoor events sounds like a pretty smart justification too.

Will a 1510 fit a backpack bag? Kind of beat worlds if you need to lock it to something and be portable.
