I am not lodging this as a complaint here but rather a "has anyone else had this issue" type of question.
I purchased and have received this package from one of the major online Sea and Sea dealers in New York. From what I've been able to determine, the camera, housing, strobe and misc. Sea and Sea components are in the same box, then another dealer/company packages the Pelican box with the box with all the camera stuff and ships it.
Here's the issue. The Pelican case that was comes with this package is the Pelican 1500 which is 7 inches deep...and that' measuring the outside. Take away the thickness of the bottom of the case and lid. The 100a strobe is 6 1/8 inches long. The foam in the Pelican box has cutouts already for the strobe, camera, WA lens, etc. Well, with the 110a strobe in place and with the waffle type foam inside the lid of the Pelican case, one must apply a great deal of pressure on the end of the strobe to get the case to close. This is the end of the strobe that has the battery opening with the O-rings, etc. Plus, this part of the strobe is that high denisty plastic. I fear the pressure caused by closing the lid can break or damage the strobe.
Has anyone else ran across this issue?
Thanks,
Jim
