Carry-on camera case
The Pelican 1535 Air 2017 is a wheeled carry-on camera case built from a proprietary HPX polymer shell. It meets maximum airline carry-on size limits and includes a retractable extension handle with quiet stainless-steel bearing wheels. The yellow finish aids visibility in busy terminals while the automatic purge valve balances air pressure without letting water or dust inside.
Sustained protection
The watertight seal and pressure-equalising valve maintain a stable internal environment during altitude changes and temperature swings encountered on long journeys. Pick-N-Pluck foam absorbs repeated shocks and vibration from overhead bins or baggage conveyors without permanent deformation. The polymer construction resists cracking or denting after years of frequent travel.
Install and fit
Owners customise the interior by plucking pre-scored foam cubes to match each camera body, lens and accessory, creating snug compartments in minutes. A business card holder on the exterior simplifies identification. The most common issue is over-plucking foam, which reduces cushioning; planning the layout before removing material avoids gaps that let gear shift.

Questions about this item
Does the automatic purge valve prevent pressure build-up when the Pelican 1535 Air 2017 case sits in a hot cargo hold all day?
Yes, the automatic purge valve equalises internal pressure while keeping water and dust out, so the seal stays intact during temperature swings in transit.
What gear must I already own to use the Pick-N-Pluck foam in this case?
You need the cameras, lenses or accessories you want to protect; the foam is pre-scored so you pluck out cubes to fit each item without tools.
Will the quiet stainless-steel bearing wheels roll smoothly over the same rough pavement my older hard-shell cases struggled on?
The stainless-steel bearing wheels are designed for quiet, low-effort rolling on uneven surfaces, reducing vibration transferred to gear inside.
