Pelican 1510 Carry On Case (Black) with Foam
The Pelican 1510 Carry On Case is the industry-standard transport solution for professional photographers, videographers, and technicians who refuse to let their most valuable gear out of their sight. Engineered to meet the maximum allowable dimensions for FAA carry-on luggage, this case eliminates the anxiety of gate-checking sensitive equipment. Combining a virtually indestructible “Protector” series shell with high-mobility features like an extension handle and smooth-rolling wheels, it serves as a mobile vault that transitions seamlessly from an overhead bin to the most rugged location sets on earth.
The Gold Standard of Carry-On Compliance
The 1510 was the first hard case specifically designed to maximize every cubic inch of the 22″ x 14″ x 9″ FAA carry-on limit. This “golden” footprint allows you to travel with a complete production kit—often including two DSLR/Mirrorless bodies and a “Holy Trinity” lens setup (16-35mm, 24-70mm, 70-200mm)—while keeping it safely in the overhead compartment. By avoiding the cargo hold, you eliminate the risks of loss, theft, or extreme temperature fluctuations associated with checked baggage.
Military-Grade Protector Shell Construction
Built from ultra-high impact structural copolymer, the 1510 utilizes an open-cell core and solid-wall design to provide a superior strength-to-weight ratio. This shell is designed to absorb massive kinetic energy, acting as a “dead blow” shield that protects internal components from heavy impacts, drops, and crushing pressure. Reinforced with stainless steel hinge pins and padlock protectors, the case is officially rated to survive the most demanding industrial and military transit environments, backed by Pelican’s legendary lifetime guarantee.
Precision Interior Customization
This model includes a comprehensive four-piece Pick ‘N Pluck foam set, allowing for surgical precision in gear organization. The interior features layers of pre-scored polyurethane cubes that can be manually removed to create custom-contoured pockets for cameras, lenses, and sensitive electronics. This ensures your gear is held firmly in place, preventing any internal movement during turbulence or rough handling. The set is completed by a convoluted “egg-crate” lid foam and a solid base pad for total 360-degree shock protection.
Ready for Remote Location and Rapid Transit
Designed for life on the move, the 1510 features a sturdy, retractable extension handle and two heavy-duty polyurethane wheels with stainless steel bearings. For manual carry, it offers comfortable, rubber over-molded handles on both the top and side. The case is IP67-rated, meaning it is fully submersible and dust-tight, while the Automatic Pressure Equalization Valve prevents “vacuum lock” after flight. This ensures your case remains bone-dry in a monsoon and easy to open the moment you land.
