FAQs
Is the Peli 1050 fully waterproof?
Yes, it is IP67 rated, meaning it is protected against the effects of temporary immersion in water.
Can I fit a large DSLR in this case?
No, the internal dimensions of 161mm x 95mm x 67mm are better suited for compact cameras, smartphones, or handheld GPS devices.
What is the pressure purge valve for?
It balances the air pressure inside the case with the outside air, preventing the case from sealing shut due to pressure differences.
Is the internal liner removable?
The liner is designed to be a permanent part of the interior to ensure consistent impact protection.
Will it protect my items from being crushed?
The polycarbonate construction is crushproof, meaning it is designed to withstand significant external pressure without collapsing.
What are the internal dimensions?
The internal storage space is 161mm in length, 95mm in width, and 67mm in depth.
Troubleshooting
Case is difficult to open
The automatic purge valve should have equalized the pressure. Ensure no debris is blocking the valve, and pull the latch firmly.
Case is not sealing correctly
Check the O-ring for any dirt, sand, or damage. Wipe the gasket clean with a damp cloth or replace it if it is cracked.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the Peli 1050 maintains its waterproof seal, always inspect the O-ring gasket before closing. Ensure there is no grit, hair, or debris on the sealing surface, as even a small particle can compromise the IP67 rating. To clean the case, simply rinse it with fresh water and a mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that could degrade the polycarbonate shell. When packing your items, place them centrally to ensure the liner can absorb shock effectively during transit. Store the case away from prolonged direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the integrity of the plastic materials.
