Pelican 1610 Protector Case with Foam - Desert Tan

Survey crews, defence technicians and broadcast teams reach for the Pelican 1610 when sensitive kit has to survive rough transport. This mid-size protector case fits between vehicle seats or in helicopter cargo bays, making it a standard issue item for mobile operations across remote Australian sites. The Desert Tan finish reduces visual signature and heat absorption compared with darker shells, a practical advantage during long days on open ground.

A double-throw latch system secures the lid with one hand while wearing gloves, and the automatic pressure equalisation valve balances internal pressure after altitude or temperature changes without letting moisture in. Inside, the Pick N Pluck foam lets you cut custom cavities for camera bodies, lenses, drones or test instruments so nothing shifts during corrugated road travel. The stainless steel padlock hasps accept standard shackles for chain-of-custody security, and the moulded handle stays comfortable when the load approaches the case's rated capacity.

The watertight polymer shell resists UV, chemicals and impact across a wide temperature range. A pelican case built to this spec protects high-value electronics from red dust, river crossings and the daily knocks of field deployment.
