Pelican 1650 Protector Case with Foam - Black

Survey crews, sparkies and broadcast technicians reach for the Pelican 1650 when delicate instruments have to survive the back of a ute or a helicopter sling load. This protector case sits in the mid-size range of the Pelican Protector Cases line, large enough for a total station kit or a mirrorless camera rig with accessories, yet compact enough to lift single-handed onto a roof rack.

The lid opens on stainless-steel hinges that resist corrosion after months of coastal exposure, while the double-throw latches stay shut under vibration but release with a gloved thumb. Inside, the pick-and-pluck foam lets you cut cavities that match each handpiece, battery pack and cable loom so nothing shifts when the vehicle hits corrugations. An automatic pressure-equalisation valve prevents vacuum lock after altitude changes, and the polymer body absorbs impact that would crack a lesser hard case. The moulded handle balance keeps the load centred, reducing wrist strain on long carries across site.
