The Peli 1150 is the case you reach for when the stakes are real. Compact enough to slip into a backpack or camera bag, yet built to the same exacting standard as full-sized expedition cases trusted by photographers, military units, and field researchers worldwide — this small hard case earns its place wherever your gear goes. Whether you're stowing a handheld radio, a compact camera body, a first-aid kit, precision tools, or a set of expensive batteries, the 1150 locks everything in a watertight, airtight shell that shrugs off rain, dust, drops, and rough handling without breaking a sweat. Build quality you can feel The shell is moulded from structural ABS copolymer with an open-cell foam core and solid outer walls — a construction method that delivers exceptional rigidity while keeping weight to a minimum. Close the lid and you hear the O-ring compress: that definitive click is the sound of your gear being sealed from the outside world. Fully watertight and dustproof, the case also features an automatic pressure-equalization valve that prevents the frustrating "vacuum lid" effect you get when opening poorly sealed cases after altitude changes or temperature swings. Foam options for every use case The No Foam variant ships with a bare interior, ready for custom inserts or foam you already own — ideal when you have specific or irregular shapes to accommodate. The With Foam variant includes Peli's Pick N Pluck™ insert: a pre-scored grid of removable foam cubes with a convoluted lid liner. Pull out the cubes that match the outline of your equipment and you have a perfectly fitted cavity in minutes, without glue, cutting tools, or guesswork. The foam absorbs vibration and prevents gear from shifting in transit. Where the Peli 1150 earns its keep Its compact footprint — roughly the size of a large hardback book — makes it one of the most versatile small cases in the range. Professionals and enthusiasts regularly reach for it to carry: First-aid and emergency kits — the orange and yellow variants are widely used in emergency response kits on film sets and field camps, where bright colour enables rapid visual identification. Photography accessories — batteries, memory cards, lens filters, and cleaning kits, sealed against dust and moisture on outdoor shoots. Electronics in transit — handheld radios, hard drives, signal meters, and compact control units protected during road travel or air freight. Precision instruments — calibration tools, measurement devices, and inspection equipment that need both protection and portability. Personal emergency supplies — critical medications, important documents, or compact survival items kept sealed and immediately accessible at all times. Colour variants Available in four colours — black for professional and discreet applications, yellow and orange for high-visibility safety and emergency use, and silver for a clean, industrial look. All variants share identical protection performance; colour is purely a functional choice.
