Description
Pelican 1610 Case (Black) with Pick ‘N Pluck Foam
The Pelican 1610 Case is an professional-grade, large-format transport solution designed to protect sensitive equipment in the world’s most unforgiving environments. Part of the legendary Pelican Protector series, this case is celebrated for being virtually unbreakable, watertight, and dustproof. With a generous internal volume and a high-mobility design featuring built-in wheels and a retractable handle, it is the industry standard for photographers, technicians, and military personnel who need to transport heavy kits—ranging from telescope optics to multi-body camera setups—with absolute peace of mind.
Ultra-High Impact Protector Construction
The 1610 is manufactured from an ultra-high impact structural copolymer that utilizes an open-cell core and solid-wall design. This combination provides a superior strength-to-weight ratio, allowing the case to absorb massive impacts without compromising the integrity of the shell. The case is further reinforced with stainless steel hardware and padlock protectors, providing an extra layer of security against theft and cutting. Its “double-throw” latches are engineered to remain securely locked during extreme drops while being easy to open with minimal effort when you reach your destination.
Customizable Pick ‘N Pluck Foam System
Inside, the case features a comprehensive five-piece foam set designed for granular customization. The Pick ‘N Pluck system consists of three layers of pre-scored, cubed polyurethane foam that allow you to “pluck” out specific shapes to match your equipment precisely. This creates a tailored, snug fit that prevents gear from shifting or vibrating during transit. The set is rounded out by a convoluted “egg-crate” lid foam and a 1-inch thick solid bottom foam pad, ensuring 360-degree shock absorption for even the most delicate electronic components.
All-Terrain Mobility and Ergonomics
Recognizing the challenges of transporting heavy loads, the Pelican 1610 is equipped with two heavy-duty polyurethane wheels with stainless steel bearings for smooth, long-lasting performance. A sturdy, retractable extension handle allows for easy towing through airports or across studio floors. For manual lifting, the case features three large, rubber over-molded haul handles—one on the top and two on the sides—providing multiple comfortable grip points when loading the case into vehicles or onto equipment racks.
Environmental Sealing and Pressure Management
The 1610 is IP67-rated, meaning it is fully submersible and remains watertight at depths of one meter for up to 30 minutes. A 0.25″ neoprene O-ring creates a perfect seal against moisture, dust, and chemicals. To handle the stresses of air travel, the case includes an Automatic Pressure Equalization Valve. This valve allows air to move freely to balance internal and external pressure while preventing water molecules from entering, ensuring the case is always easy to open after significant changes in altitude or temperature.
