Pelican 1560 Camera Case
The Pelican 1560 is a watertight, airtight hard case built to protect valuable equipment from harsh elements. It offers 2800 cubic inches of secure storage space for photography gear, digital cameras, lenses, pro audio and video equipment, or musical instruments. The case is dustproof, chemical resistant, and corrosion proof, making it a reliable rolling travel companion for on-the-go professionals.
Suits gear-heavy travellers
This case suits professionals who need to transport sensitive gear through demanding environments and want the security of metal reinforced padlock protectors. The 17 inch retracting extension handle with effortless release latch aids maneuverability during transit. Buyers who need a soft-sided bag, a smaller carry-on size, or a case without wheels should look at something else.
2800 cu in capacity
The 2800 cubic inch interior comfortably holds multiple camera bodies, lenses, audio kits, or instruments with room for custom foam organisation. The automatic purge valve with Gore-Tex membrane equalises pressure after altitude changes, keeping the seal intact. Headroom runs out when the load exceeds the case’s structural limits or when airline size restrictions demand a smaller footprint.

Questions about this item
What gear must I already own for the 1560 case to protect it effectively?
You need cameras, lenses, pro audio or video equipment, or musical instruments that fit inside the 2800 cubic inch interior; the case itself supplies the watertight, dustproof, chemical-resistant shell and the pick-and-pluck foam for custom fit.
Will the 1560 case work alongside my older Pelican cases that use the same purge-valve design?
Yes, the Automatic Purge Valve with Gore-Tex membrane equalises pressure the same way as earlier models, so stacking or transporting the 1560 with legacy cases creates no pressure conflict.
How can I verify the 1560 case is sealing properly after I pack it?
Close the latches, press the purge valve button — if it depresses and returns smoothly, the neoprene o-ring seal is holding vacuum and the case is watertight and airtight.
