Pelican 1150 Case OD Green - Compact Watertight Protection

In this review of the Pelican 1150 Case with Pick & Pluck Foam and convoluted lid insert, the bottom line is simple: this is a compact, rugged storage solution for anyone who needs dependable protection for small electronics or valuables. The case's IP67 waterproofing, automatic pressure equalization valve, and double throw latches make it a trustworthy option for travel, outdoor use, and professional transport. The included pluck foam kit provides a tool-less custom interior, so the case is ready out of the box for cameras, drives, or delicate tools.

Key Features

• Watertight and dustproof: The IP67-rated O-ring seal keeps contents dry and clean in wet or dusty environments.
• Automatic pressure equalization: The built-in valve balances internal pressure so the lid opens easily after altitude change or temperature shifts.
• Double throw latches: Rugged two-piece latches provide more reliable closure in extreme conditions than single-piece alternatives.
• Customizable interior: The included convoluted lid foam, pick and pluck foam, and base foam allow tool-less, fast customization for irregular gear shapes.
• Compact, travel-ready size: At roughly 9.44 in x 7.80 in x 4.29 in the small form factor fits in backpacks, suitcases, and larger cases easily.
• Color latch options: Choose from seven latch colors to help identify or personalize the case for different kits or owners.

Who It's For

The Pelican 1150 is ideal for photographers, videographers, and traveling professionals who need a lightweight, reliable hard case for small cameras, lenses, memory cards, microphones, or portable drives. Its small footprint and pluck-foam interior suit weekend adventurers and anyone who wants watertight storage for valuables in a suitcase or backpack.

Those who need large capacity storage or heavy-duty racks should look at bigger models; the 1150 is specifically a small form factor solution and not intended to carry large tripods or multiple full-size camera bodies.
