Pelican 1646 Air Case No Foam - Black

Checking expensive camera equipment into an aircraft hold creates a practical problem: standard cases add kilos to baggage allowance and often arrive cracked. The Pelican 1646 Air case removes that penalty by using a proprietary HPX resin shell that cuts weight without sacrificing the crush resistance crews expect from the brand. It fits within typical airline size limits while keeping lenses, bodies and accessories organised inside a single lockable unit.

Wheel the case through terminals on integrated polyurethane wheels and a retractable handle, then lift it by the moulded front handle when stairs or uneven ground appear. The automatic pressure equalisation valve prevents vacuum lock after altitude changes, so the lid opens cleanly at the destination. Inside, the Pick N Pluck foam lets you cut custom cavities for each camera body and lens, stopping gear from shifting during turbulence or rough handling on the tarmac. Stainless steel padlock protectors accept TSA locks for security screening without damage.

The watertight polymer o-ring seal keeps out rain, dust and humidity on location shoots. This pelican case suits photographers and videographers moving kit between studios, remote sites and overseas assignments where weight savings and impact protection matter equally.
