Pelican 1535 Air TP Wheeled Case with TrekPak Insert (Black)
The Pelican 1535 Air TP represents the pinnacle of modern transport engineering for the traveling professional. Designed to meet the maximum allowable dimensions for airline carry-on luggage, this case belongs to the revolutionary Pelican Air series, which is up to 40% lighter than standard protector cases. By pairing this weight-saving shell with the surgically precise TrekPak divider system, the 1535 Air TP offers an elite-level organizational environment for cinematographers and photographers who need to maximize their gear capacity without exceeding weight limits or gate-checking their most valuable assets.
Super-Lightweight HPX² Polymer Construction
The foundation of the 1535 Air is the proprietary HPX² polymer resin. This advanced material is engineered to rebound without breaking under extreme stress, utilizing a structural design that is significantly thinner-walled than traditional cases while maintaining legendary Pelican durability. This weight reduction is critical for professionals navigating international airports with strict cabin weight restrictions. Despite its lighter feel, the case remains crushproof and impact-resistant, providing a high-performance shield for high-end camera bodies and delicate lenses.
Precision TrekPak Divider System
This model replaces traditional foam with the TrekPak divider system, a favorite among high-end production kits. TrekPak uses 7/16-inch thick, rigid panels made of waterproof, closed-cell foam laminated to a corrugated plastic core. This ultra-slim profile allows you to fit significantly more equipment into the same footprint compared to bulky padded dividers. The kit includes a specialized cutting tool and locking U-pins, enabling you to custom-tailor your layout with a clean, professional aesthetic that stays locked in place even during heavy vibration or overhead bin turbulence.
Optimized for Travel and Mobility
Every element of the 1535 Air is optimized for life on the move. It features quiet-rolling, stainless steel bearing wheels and a sturdy, retractable extension handle for effortless navigation through crowded terminals. For manual lifting, the case includes rubber over-molded top and side handles that provide a secure, comfortable grip. Because it adheres to the 22″ x 14″ x 9″ carry-on standard, it eliminates the anxiety of the cargo hold, keeping your primary kit within reach at all times.
Hermetic Seal and Pressure Management
The 1535 Air is IP67-rated, making it completely dustproof and waterproof for submersion up to one meter. A high-performance EPDM O-ring gasket creates a watertight seal, while the Automatic Purge Valve balances internal air pressure. This is essential for air travel, as it prevents “vacuum lock” after altitude changes, ensuring your case remains easy to open upon landing while keeping moisture and contaminants strictly on the outside.
