Pelican 1557 Air Case No Foam - Black

Air freight holds and checked baggage compartments demand a pelican case that handles rapid pressure changes without vacuum lock. The 1557 Air model is built for photographers, survey crews and avionics technicians who move precision equipment between sites by commercial flight. Its polymer shell cuts weight against traditional rotomoulded alternatives while keeping the crush resistance required for conveyor systems and cargo nets.

An automatic pressure equalisation valve releases built-up differential during climb and descent, so the lid opens cleanly on arrival without prying. Inside, the pick-and-pluck foam layers let you cut custom cavities for camera bodies, lenses, drone batteries or test instruments, holding each item firm against turbulence. Stainless steel padlock hasps accept TSA locks for security screening, and the moulded handle balance stays centred even with uneven loads. The double-throw latches clamp tight with a gloved hand, a practical detail when unloading on a windy tarmac.

Weight reduction meets IP67 ingress protection. The 1557 Air carries a limited lifetime warranty against defects.
