FAQs

What are the exact external dimensions of the Peli 1520?

The external dimensions are approximately 485mm (Height) x 392mm (Width) x 192mm (Depth).

Is the foam insert included with the Peli 1520?

Yes, the Peli 1520 case is supplied with Pick 'N' Pluck™ foam and convoluted lid foam for equipment protection and customization.

Can I fly with the Peli 1520 as carry-on luggage?

The Peli 1520 is designated as "Carry-on" luggage. However, airline carry-on size restrictions can vary. Always check with your specific airline before traveling to ensure compliance.

What is the weight of the Peli 1520 case?

The Peli 1520 case weighs approximately 4.38 kg (9.66 lbs).

How deep is the usable interior space?

The internal dimensions are 455mm (Length) x 325mm (Width) x 170mm (Depth). The foam offers approximately 130mm of customizable depth in the base.

What does the "atmospheric pressure purge valve" do?

This valve automatically equalizes air pressure inside the case with the outside atmosphere. This prevents "vacuum lock" caused by temperature or altitude changes, making the case easier to open and preventing potential damage to seals.

Is the case guaranteed against breakage?

Yes, Peli offers an unconditional lifetime guarantee against breakage on this case.

Troubleshooting

Case is difficult to open.

Ensure the pressure equalization valve is clear and functioning. If the case has been at a different altitude or temperature, allow it a few minutes to equalize. Ensure latches are fully disengaged.

Latches won't stay closed.

Check that the latches are properly aligned and not obstructed. Ensure the case is not over-packed to the point where the lid cannot close flush.

Foam is not protecting equipment adequately.

Re-evaluate the foam layout. Ensure all voids are filled, and the equipment has a snug fit without being overly compressed. Consider purchasing additional foam if needed for complex setups.

Water ingress despite being "watertight".

Check the O-ring seal for damage, debris, or improper seating. Ensure the lid is closed correctly and latches are securely fastened. Verify the pressure valve cover is properly sealed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional protection against water, dust, and impact.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity and reliability.
  • Automatic pressure valve simplifies opening after altitude/temperature changes.
  • Customizable foam provides excellent shock absorption and a secure fit.
  • Lifetime guarantee against breakage offers peace of mind.

Cons

  • Can be heavy when fully loaded.
  • Foam may require careful customization for optimal equipment fit.
  • Exterior dimensions may exceed standard carry-on limits for some airlines if overpacked.
  • Latches, while secure, require deliberate effort to open and close.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Foam Customization: Open the case and carefully plan the layout of your equipment within the interior space (455mm x 325mm x 170mm). Use the pre-scored Pick 'N' Pluck™ foam to remove sections that correspond to the shape of your items. For best results, use the equipment itself as a template. Keep the convoluted foam in the lid for additional cushioning.
  2. Security: If desired, use the integrated padlock lugs to attach your own TSA-approved or standard padlocks.

Compatibility:

This case is ideal for a wide range of equipment including cameras, lenses, audio/visual gear, sensitive instruments, tools, and electronics. Always verify your equipment's dimensions fit within the Internal Dimensions (HxWxD): 455mm x 325mm x 170mm.

Care:

  • Cleaning Exterior: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh solvents.
  • Cleaning Interior: Remove foam and vacuum any loose debris. For deeper cleaning of the foam, hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
  • Valve Maintenance: Periodically check the pressure release valve for blockages. Gently clean with a soft brush or damp cloth if needed. Ensure the valve cover is secure after cleaning.
