{"product_id":"pelican-1535av-air-universal-camera-hard-case","title":"Pelican 1535AV Air Universal Camera Hard Case","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Pelican 1535AV Air Universal Camera Case is a carry-on-sized hard case built specifically for photographers, combining custom-cut foam lens pockets with a TrekPak divider system to protect and organize a full camera kit. Constructed from Pelican's proprietary HPX² polymer (up to 40% lighter than traditional case materials), the 1535AV meets maximum airline carry-on dimensions and delivers waterproof, crushproof, and dustproof protection. Available in Black and Indigo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Lens-Heavy Kits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1535AV's hybrid interior addresses the most common frustration with universal foam cases: lenses need a different kind of protection than camera bodies. Three dedicated foam-cut lens pockets, each 3.5 inches in diameter and 5 inches deep, hold lenses securely without relying on dividers that can shift in transit. Three additional accessory compartments handle flashes, batteries, filters, and cables. The result is a case where every piece of glass has a fixed, repeatable home, reducing setup and breakdown time at the shoot location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTrekPak Dividers for Everything Else\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond the foam lens pockets, the remaining interior space is managed by a TrekPak divider system: rigid, pin-secured panels that can be reconfigured without cutting. Camera bodies, grips, and oddly shaped accessories fit without wasted space, and the layout can be changed as a kit evolves. This hybrid approach means the case does not force a choice between the precision of pre-cut foam and the flexibility of a divider system: it provides both in the same interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAirline-Ready and Weather-Sealed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1535AV exterior measures 21.96 x 13.97 x 8.98 inches, sized to comply with maximum airline carry-on requirements, so camera gear travels in the cabin rather than checked baggage. An EPDM o-ring seal and a Gore-Tex automatic purge valve maintain the waterproof and dustproof rating across altitude and temperature changes from 0°F to 140°F. Press and Pull latches with 0.31-inch padlock holes allow TSA-compatible locks. Quiet rolling wheels and a retractable trolley handle make airport transit practical at the 12.87 lb loaded weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHybrid interior:\u003c\/strong\u003e three custom-cut foam lens pockets (3.5\" diameter × 5\" depth) plus TrekPak divider system for camera bodies and accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree accessory compartments:\u003c\/strong\u003e dedicated storage for flashes, batteries, filters, and cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaterproof, crushproof, dustproof:\u003c\/strong\u003e EPDM o-ring seal and Gore-Tex automatic purge valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHPX² polymer shell:\u003c\/strong\u003e proprietary polypropylene blend up to 40% lighter than traditional case materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAirline carry-on compliant:\u003c\/strong\u003e exterior dimensions meet maximum carry-on size requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in USA\u003c\/strong\u003e with a Lifetime Guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eExterior Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e21.96 x 13.97 x 8.98 in (55.78 x 35.48 x 22.81 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInterior Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e20.39 x 11.20 x 7.21 in (51.79 x 28.45 x 18.31 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eInterior Volume\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.95 ft³ (0.03 m³)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLid Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2 in (5.08 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBottom Depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e5.21 in (13.23 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (with foam and TrekPak)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e12.87 lbs (5.84 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (with foam, no TrekPak)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e11.6 lbs (5.26 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (no foam)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e8.69 lbs (3.94 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePadlock Hole Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.31 in (0.79 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBody Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eProprietary Polypropylene Blend (HPX²)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLatch Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eABS\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eO-Ring Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEPDM\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePurge Vent Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHi-Flow Gore-Tex 3 Micron Hydrophobic Non-Woven\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e140°F (60°C)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMinimum Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0°F (-18°C)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBuoyancy\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e64.8 lbs (29.39 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eColors Available\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack, Indigo\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMade in USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLifetime Guarantee\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe 1535AV suits photographers and videographers who travel by air with a lens-heavy kit and need a single carry-on that protects glass in fixed foam pockets while keeping bodies and accessories organized in a reconfigurable divider system.
