Product Information
Full details
The Peli 1610 Case is a professional-grade storage solution designed for photographers, videographers, and field professionals who require absolute security for their delicate equipment. It excels by providing a nearly indestructible, watertight, and dustproof environment for sensitive gear, though its robust construction and heavy-duty frame make it significantly heavier than standard equipment bags. With its customizable internal foam and integrated transport wheels, it is the gold standard for transporting expensive tech across challenging terrains.

FAQs
Is the Peli 1610 case waterproof?
Yes, it is designed to be watertight and dustproof with an IP67 rating, meaning it can withstand submersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
Can I take this case on an airplane?
The 1610 is generally accepted as checked baggage, but always verify specific airline dimension requirements for checked luggage before flying.
What should I do if the foam gets worn out?
Replacement Pick 'N' Pluck foam sets are available separately, allowing you to refresh the interior protection without replacing the entire case.
Does this case come with a warranty?
Yes, Peli products are famous for their unconditional lifetime guarantee against breakage or defects in workmanship.
Can I use padlocks with this case?
Absolutely. The case features reinforced stainless steel padlock holes specifically designed to accept standard padlocks for added security.
Troubleshooting
Vacuum lock preventing case opening
If the case was sealed at a different altitude, the pressure valve may need to be manually adjusted or simply opened to equalize the pressure.
Foam layout no longer fits new gear
You can purchase replacement Pick 'N' Pluck foam inserts to re-configure the interior for a new equipment loadout.
Latches feel stiff or difficult to open
Ensure the case is clean of debris around the latch pivot points and apply a tiny amount of food-grade silicone lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To configure your case, gently layout your equipment on the top layer of the foam to map out the spacing before pulling the cubes. Maintain a minimum of one-inch distance between gear and the outer wall for maximum shock absorption. To maintain the case, periodically wipe the O-ring seal with a clean, lint-free cloth to ensure no grit or hair prevents a proper seal. If the case is exposed to saltwater, rinse the exterior with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, as these may degrade the high-impact polymer shell over time.
