Peli Air 1605 drone case with accessories

The Peli Air 1605 is the carry-on case for professionals who cannot afford to leave protection to chance. Whether you are packing a cinema drone for a remote expedition, loading camera bodies and lenses for a documentary shoot, or transporting sensitive field research equipment — the 1605 delivers waterproof, crushproof peace of mind without the weight penalty that cheaper alternatives add to every carry.

Built Light. Built Tough.

Weight is the enemy of every field professional. The 1605 is constructed from Peli's proprietary HPX²™ Polymer, engineered to be up to 40% lighter than conventional protective case materials — without giving up any structural integrity. The result is a case you can carry by hand all day through airports, trails, or set locations, and still trust to protect gear worth thousands of euros.

Rated IP67 and built to MIL-SPEC standards, the 1605 handles driving rain, submersion, and the kind of rough handling that would destroy a regular bag. The automatic pressure equalization valve prevents pressure differentials from breaking the seal between sea level and cruising altitude, and the waterproof O-ring seal keeps moisture, dust, and grit firmly on the outside.

Interior That Works Around Your Kit

The 1605 ships in three configurations to match your exact loadout:

• No Foam — a clean, empty shell, ideal for custom inserts, TrekPak dividers you already own, or gear packed in soft pouches.
• With Foam — includes Pick N Pluck™ foam, the pre-cubed insert you pull apart layer by layer to create a cavity mirroring the exact shape of your drone, camera body, batteries, or instruments. The black foam provides a clean, professional backdrop for kit shots.
• With Padded Dividers — a fabric-padded system for photographers who need fast access to multiple items without committing to a fixed foam layout. Reconfigure between shoots without tools.

Security and Handling

The fold-down over-molded handle sits flush when not in use, so the case stacks cleanly and fits into tight spaces. Press and Pull™ latches give a secure, positive closure you can open single-handed, even wearing gloves. Two stainless steel padlock protectors allow you to lock both points for checked-luggage or long-term storage security.
