Peli 1510 Protector Carry-On Case

Some cases are designed to travel. The Peli 1510 Protector was built to survive it. For over two decades, this compact carry-on has been the standard for anyone who refuses to check their most valuable gear — photographers, field engineers, drone pilots, and researchers alike. Engineered to conform to most major airline cabin size limits, it takes the abuse that would destroy an ordinary trolley and keeps everything inside exactly where you left it.

Built for the cabin, ready for anywhere else

The 1510 rolls on stainless steel-bearing polyurethane wheels and extends via a lockable retractable trolley handle, making airport terminals effortless. Rubber over-molded top and side handles give you extra grip when stowing it overhead or squeezing through narrow corridors. The open-cell core and solid wall construction balances structural rigidity against manageable weight — this is a hard case you'll actually want to bring on every trip.

Properly sealed: watertight, not just splash-resistant

A continuous O-ring running the full perimeter of the lid makes the 1510 genuinely watertight. The automatic pressure equalization valve prevents the lid from vacuum-sealing at altitude, so it opens smoothly whether you've just stepped off a flight or are unpacking at base camp. Double-throw latches snap shut with a firm click and release in a single motion. Stainless steel padlock protectors let you thread your own lock through the hasp — useful when the case travels as checked baggage or is left unattended on location.

Three interior configurations

Choose the setup that matches how you pack:

• No Foam — bare interior, ready for your own foam, custom-cut inserts, or soft goods directly.
• With Pick N Pluck™ Foam — pre-cubed foam that you tear apart by hand to create fitted cavities for cameras, lenses, instruments, or any fragile kit. No tools, no measuring, no waste.
• With Padded Dividers — repositionable fabric dividers with a lid organiser for flexible compartmentalisation you can rearrange between trips.

Available colours

The Peli 1510 is available in five colours: Black, Yellow, Orange, Desert Tan, and Pink. Black is the standard go-anywhere colour; the brighter options make the case easy to identify on a conveyor belt or in a busy equipment room.
