Pelican 1550 Case with Foam for Camera (Black)

Product Description

Pelican Protector Cases are made with Copolymer Polypropylene, using an open cell core and solid wall construction, which is stronger and lighter that the completion. You can tell its a Pelican case by the distinctive "twin-ribbed" top surface. Stainless steel pins are used for hinges and handles. The new Double-Throw latches are much easier to open.


  • Pelican cases are kept watertight through the use of a tongue and groove fit and a polymer o-ring.
  • Pelican cases come standard with an Automatic Pressure Equalization Valve which releases built up air pressure while keeping water out.
  • Pelican's Pick N'Pluck foam lets you customize the interior.
  • Stainless steel reinforced padlock protectors
  • Single folding front handle with no-slip overmolded cushion grip
  • Pelican cases are kept watertight through the use of a tongue and groove fit and a polymer o-ring.
  • Interior Dimensions (inches): 18.43 x 14.00 x 7.62

5.0 out of 5 stars 2nd Best Not Good Enough? Use a Pelican Case, May 8, 2008

Huge box, I use it for my DVX100B and all related film equipment. I could drop this thing from an overpass or use it for hand to hand combat and it would protect the cargo perfectly. Solid handle design will never break.

Pick and pluck foam is FANTASTIC! It's the next best thing to having an expensive custom cut. Be sure to use silk fabric between the foam and your expensive equipment, as the foam has tendency to flake off in very small pieces. Note: this is not a design flaw but the nature and density of the foam itself. Water resistant a plus, solid rubber seal compressed with solid case latches, however, the wife looked at me funny when I went to give the case a bath... could I blame her?

Pelicans seem to be worth the extra 30 bucks and (hey look) made in the USA so the polymers won't degrade, weaken and crack after two years. Fine job - I will be getting more for my permanent storage items I no longer wish to keep in wobbly Tupperware muy Grande.

I have always trusted Pelican when it comes to cases for expensive and fragile items. I purchased this specific model for the Canon XH A1 1.67MP 3CCD High-Definition Camcorder with 20x Optical Zoom. It fits perfectly (get this model, the 1500 is too thin). Be cautious and plan well for the way you pluck the foam because mistakes cost time and money!

Needed a good case for storing fragile eyepieces and other optical gear for a telescope, this did the job to a tee... now I can give those components the "drop test" and they'll survive, AND I now have a convenient way to store a dozen little breakable odds and ends. Inside there are two layers of the "pluck" foam, enabling you to create deep and shallow compartments.

For those who need the detail -- I wondered when I bought this -- the actual useful dimensions, when you take out the top, bottom and side padding is 18 inches across, 12.5 inches front to back and 5.25 inches top to bottom.
