Pelican 1646 Air Case with Foam - Black

Checking expensive gear into an aircraft hold creates a practical problem: standard luggage offers no defence against crushing, water ingress or rough handling. The Pelican 1646 air case removes that exposure by meeting airline size allowances while delivering the brand's recognised protective performance. It fits the workflow of photographers, survey crews and technicians who fly equipment to remote sites and need it operational on arrival.

This pelican case uses an automatic pressure-equalisation valve that balances internal pressure during altitude changes without letting moisture or dust enter. The watertight polymer body resists impact and corrosion, while stainless-steel hardware and padlock hasps secure the load. Inside, the Pick N Pluck foam layers can be configured to hold camera bodies, lenses, drone airframes or test instruments, keeping each item immobilised during transit. The moulded handles and integrated wheels allow one-person movement across terminals, tarmacs and uneven site ground.

The polymer shell, pressure valve, stainless fittings and customisable foam combine to protect high-value kit from check-in to deployment. It suits aerial survey, broadcast, defence and industrial inspection teams who move sensitive hardware by air on a regular basis.
