Peli 1650 Protector Case

The Peli 1650 is a professional rolling transport case built for those who cannot afford equipment failures caused by travel. Whether you're a documentary filmmaker heading to a remote location, a medical technician transporting precision diagnostic devices, or a military technician moving sensitive electronics across rough terrain — the 1650 is designed to withstand everything the journey puts it through.

IP67-certified protection with military credentials

The case carries IP67 certification, making it genuinely waterproof (submersion-rated) and dustproof — not just splash-resistant. It is tested to MIL-C-4150J and Def Stan 81-41 military standards, and ATA 300 air cargo specifications. Operating range: -40°C to +99°C. The solid polypropylene body with open cell core construction delivers the toughness of a military transport case while keeping weight manageable: 10.9 kg empty, 12.7 kg with foam.

Four-wheel mobility and dual carry system

Four heavy-duty polyurethane wheels with stainless steel bearings roll smoothly across airport terminals, film sets, and uneven outdoor terrain. The retractable extension trolley handle locks at a comfortable height for rolling. When you need to lift the case into a vehicle or cargo hold, fold-down side handles give you a firm, balanced grip even when the case is fully loaded.

Custom-fit interior with Pick N Pluck™ foam

The standard foam configuration includes a 2-level Pick N Pluck™ insert with convoluted lid foam. You remove individual foam cubes to create a precise cavity shaped to your specific equipment — cameras, optics, sensors, tools, or electronics. No custom cutting needed: the result is a snug, purpose-fitted interior without custom pricing or lead time.

Sealed, secured, and pressure-balanced

The polymer O-ring creates a true watertight seal tested for submersion. The automatic pressure equalization valve — fitted with a 3-micron hydrophobic non-woven filter — stabilizes internal air pressure during altitude changes and air transport, eliminating the vacuum lock effect that makes cases difficult to open. Stainless steel hardware and dual padlock protectors (8 mm diameter holes) secure the contents against unauthorized access.

Who relies on the Peli 1650?

Broadcast crews take it to remote film locations. Scientific teams use it on field expeditions. Military units rely on it across demanding terrain. Photographers trust it in checked airline luggage. If you need a case that survives cargo holds, tarmac drag, and downpours — and still opens to reveal perfectly protected contents — the 1650 is that case.
