Peli Air 1607 Replacement Foam Set

Custom Protection for Your Peli Air 1607 Case

Your Peli Air 1607 is built to handle serious conditions — from checked baggage holds and cargo aircraft to field deployments where reliable, waterproof transport is non-negotiable. But the interior is only as good as the protection you build into it. This official replacement foam set gives you a fully customizable black foam interior in the pick-n-pluck format: no tools, no cutting, just a few minutes of setup before your gear is perfectly secured.

What Is Pick-n-Pluck Foam?

Pick-n-pluck foam — also called cubed or pre-scored foam — is a solid block of foam pre-cut into a grid of small removable cubes. You map the shape of each item onto the surface, then pull the cubes out by hand to create precise, snug cavities. No knives, no templates, no guesswork. The finished result is a custom-fit interior that holds your gear firmly in place and prevents it from shifting, bouncing, or knocking into neighbouring items during transport.

Unlike moulded foam that locks you into one configuration, pick-n-pluck adapts as your kit evolves. New lens, new body, new instrument? Remove a few more cubes and you're set.

Step-by-Step: Setting Up Your Foam

1. Plan before you pick. Lay all your gear on the foam and test different arrangements. Put the heaviest items in the centre and plan which pieces you'll need to access most often.
2. Mark the outlines. Place each item directly on the foam and trace around it with masking tape or chalk. This gives you a clear visual guide before you commit.
3. Remove the cubes. Pull out the cubes within each outline. Work carefully — it takes seconds to remove and cannot be undone.
4. Test the fit. Set each item into its cavity. It should sit snugly — not loose, not forced. Adjust by picking out a cube or two at a time.
5. Keep the 25 mm buffer. Always leave at least one full row of foam (approximately 25 mm) between your gear and the case walls. This cushions edge-on impacts and protects items from the hard shell.

Typical Use Cases

The Peli Air 1607 is popular with photographers and videographers transporting full camera systems, drone operators managing multiple components, field engineers and researchers protecting delicate measurement instruments, and security or tactical teams that need reliable, quick-access organisation. Whatever your application, the foam set transforms an empty case into a purpose-built transport system designed around your exact equipment.

What's Included

The set contains layered black foam panels designed to fill the full interior volume of the Peli Air 1607 case. This is the same foam type supplied with new cases — ideal for replacing worn or damaged original foam, or starting fresh with a completely new custom layout.
