Peli 1557 Air Case suitcase with foam for delicate items

When your gear can't afford a rough journey, the Peli Air 1557 is built to take the hit for it. This mid-sized hard case pairs exceptional impact resistance with Peli's Air-series lightweight engineering — the HPX²™ polymer shell weighs up to 40% less than a conventional case of the same size, yet it arrives at a film set, field station or job site as tough as the day it left the factory. Case colour: black.

Pick the Interior That Fits Your Kit

Four configurations let the interior match exactly what you carry:

• No Foam — a clean interior ready for custom padding, foam inserts, or a wrap-and-pack approach.
• With Pick N Pluck™ Foam — a thick block of pre-scored foam you pull apart cube by cube to create a precise recess for each item. Cameras, lenses, sensors, hand tools — every piece sits snug, surrounded on all sides.
• With TrekPak Divider System — firm, fabric-covered rigid panels held in place by a pushpin rail. Reposition them in seconds without tools. The padded foam base cushions impact while the dividers keep items cleanly separated.
• With Padded Divider Organiser — soft, quilted partitions inside a hard shell, similar in feel to a premium camera bag. Ideal for mirrorless systems, audio equipment, medical instruments, or mixed sets of accessories that need quick, flexible access.

Protection at a Glance

• Waterproof, Crushproof, Dustproof — rated for submersion, heavy impact, and fine particulate exposure.
• HPX²™ Polymer Shell — up to 40% lighter than standard polypropylene with no reduction in structural strength.
• Waterproof O-ring Seal — a continuous perimeter seal locks out water, mud, and dust even when fully submerged.
• Automatic Pressure Equalization Valve — self-regulates during altitude changes and flight, preventing pressure build-up while blocking moisture ingress.
• Press and Pull™ Latches — one-hand opening, firmly seated in transit, rated for thousands of open-close cycles.
• Fold-down Over-moulded Handle — ergonomic carry grip that folds flat when not in use.
• Stainless Steel Padlock Protectors — two reinforced hasps so a fitted padlock cannot be pried away from the case body.
• IP67 Rated & MIL-SPEC Certified — independently verified to meet military and industrial protection standards.
• Limited Lifetime Warranty — Peli guarantees this case against defects in materials and workmanship for as long as you own it.

Who Reaches for the 1557 Air?

Drone operators who need their UAV to arrive intact. Documentary cinematographers packing a mirrorless rig for a remote expedition. Field service engineers carrying calibrated instruments through commercial airports. Wildlife researchers heading into difficult terrain where a dropped case is the difference between a successful mission and a ruined one. The 1557 Air is compact enough to travel as luggage or fit in a vehicle without eating your cargo space, and built hard enough that rough handling becomes someone else's problem.
