Pelican Hard Cases>1485 Medium Air Case – With Foam

The Pelican 1485 Medium Air Case offers a lightweight storage and carrying solution for your equipment without compromising on strength and durability. The case comes with padded dividers to separate your gear, has a moulded resin build and a weatherproof design that uses an O-ring gasket to keep your gear protected from water and dust.

Lightweight Polymer Build

The Pelican Air Case is moulded from HPX Polymer with a honeycomb structure making it 40 percent lighter than other cases of the same size while still retaining a superior strength to cases with only a polymer construction. This means you can carry your equipment and protect it effectively without burdening yourself with any additional weight, especially useful for outdoor photographers and adventurers trekking to remote locations.

Pick ‘N Pluck Foam Interior

The Pelican 1500 hard case includes a three-piece foam insert set consisting of an Egg crate type foam in lid plus a Pick ‘N Pluck foam insert and foam pad which allows you to customise your internal design to perfectly fit your range of equipment.

O-Ring gasket

The O-Ring gasket used on the case provides a watertight seal that ensures that it remains both waterproof and dustproof. More than just splash-proof the cases waterproof rating is tested by submerging the unit in one metre of water for up to 30 minutes to ensure water doesn’t reach the interior. This means you can be confident that your equipment is protected from the elements.

Purge Valve Balances Air Pressure

The case has a purge valve on the case which automatically balances the air pressure within the case with external air pressure. This helps compensate for changes in air pressure when flying or travelling and reduces strain on your equipment.

Drop Tested and Crush Proof

It has been dropped from a height of 1.8m onto concrete while fully loaded to make sure it can keep cameras and other gear safe in case of accidents. The case has also been tested for crush resistance by a 12.7Kg weight falling from a height of 91cm.
