Pelican 1490 Protector Case No Foam - Desert Tan

The Pelican 1490NF Desert Tan is a protector case built for moving sensitive equipment through rough environments. Its watertight, dustproof and crushproof shell shields cameras, drones, electronics and precision tools from impact, moisture and grit. The desert tan finish reduces heat absorption under direct sun and lowers visual signature in field operations, making it a practical choice for defence, survey and media crews working across Australian conditions.

This pelican case uses a double-throw latch system that stays shut under vibration yet opens with one hand, even while wearing gloves. An automatic pressure equalisation valve balances internal pressure during altitude or temperature changes without letting water or dust enter. Stainless steel padlock hasps accept standard shackles for security compliance. The empty interior (NF designation) lets you fit custom foam, padded dividers or rack-mounted inserts to match the exact loadout. Moulded-in ribs add stacking stability on vehicle beds and pallets, while the comfortable over-moulded handle reduces fatigue during long carries.
