Full details

The Peli 1620 Equipment Case is the industry standard for professionals who need to transport sensitive gear through harsh, unpredictable environments. It provides military-grade protection against water, dust, and crushing impacts, making it ideal for photographers, videographers, and field technicians. While its robust construction and 115L capacity offer unparalleled security, users should note that the case is substantial in size and weight, which may require careful planning for air travel or tight storage spaces.

FAQs

Is the Peli 1620 waterproof?

Yes, it is IP67 rated, meaning it is protected against immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

Does it come with foam?

Foam availability varies by specific model variant. Please check your specific MPN to confirm if your unit includes Pick N Pluck foam.

Can I use this for air travel?

Yes, the automatic purge valve is designed specifically to handle the pressure changes encountered during air travel.

Is the case covered by a warranty?

What is the weight of the empty case?

Can I stack multiple Peli 1620 cases?

Yes, the cases are designed with a stackable exterior pattern to keep multiple units securely in place.

Troubleshooting

Case feels stuck or won't open after flight

The pressure valve may be tight due to a pressure differential. Wait for the automatic purge valve to equalize or carefully ensure the valve is clear of debris.

Latches feel loose or difficult to snap shut

Check the hinges for any obstructing debris. If the latches become difficult to snap, ensure the case lid is perfectly aligned with the base and that the O-ring is seated correctly in its groove.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper care begins with maintaining the O-ring seal; ensure no sand or hair is caught between the lid and the base before closing the case to maintain its IP67 rating. When using the pressure valve, it is factory-set to be automatic, meaning you do not need to manually unscrew it under normal circumstances. For long-term maintenance, wipe down the exterior with mild soap and water, and occasionally apply a light silicone-based lubricant to the O-ring to keep it supple. If your gear configuration changes, ensure your foam inserts are cut with tight tolerances to prevent movement. When stacking, align the interlocking ribs on the top and bottom to utilize the built-in stability feature of the 1620 series.
