With more than 110 litres of usable space, the Peli Air 1646 Case is built in a long/deep form, making it perfect for the storage of equipment that requires a longer- and deeper-sized case. “Logistics issues for professional users traveling with large kits can be a nightmare. This I why we created the lighter 1646 Peli Air case to supply them with a transport option for an easy handling,” said Piero Marigo, Managing Director EMEA.

The new case provides ample room for all types of fragile and valuable equipment, such as cinema-grade cameras or tactical gear, among many other things. Videographers will appreciate the case depth’s ability to store cameras upright for more efficient use of space. This latest Peli Air case addition increases the product range up to 16 unique sizes.

With a reduction of up 40% in weight versus a standard Peli Protector Case, the Peli Air 1646 Case has a pull trolley and wheels that resisted tests of over 914 metres. It also comes equipped with classic Peli case features including a watertight O-ring gasket, a crushproof and dustproof exterior, stainless steel hasp protectors, rubberised, over-moulded handles and proven tough push button latches. As with their classic Protector cases, each Peli Air case is subjected to external third-party lab testing to certify IP67 ingress protection and military standard impact, drop and extreme temperature performance.

The Peli Air 1646 Case is available in black without foam and is backed by the company’s legendary Lifetime Guarantee of Excellence. The No Foam configuration allows a blank slate for custom interior solutions. A Classic Pick N’ Pluck Foam set is available as an accessory and offers a manually customisable solution with pre-scored foam for fast and simple protection to fit almost any equipment.
