Pelican 1500 foam

Pelican 1500 Custom Foam Insert

The Pelican 1500 is the classic two-pistol and camera case. We CNC-cut a Pelican 1500 custom foam insert to the 16.75" x 11.18" interior with a pocket for every item: pistols, magazines, a camera body and lenses, or a drone with its controller.

Plucked foam in a 1500 usually fails first around the magazine pockets. A routed closed-cell insert keeps every pocket crisp, and the finger notches make the items easy to lift.

  • Camera body and three lenses with batteries, cards and a flash
  • DJI Air or Mavic with controller, four batteries and charging hub

Send the Pelican 1500 model number and your gear list, or build the layout in the online designer.

Pelican 1500 interior dimensions for foam

Pelican lists the 1500 Protector interior at 16.75" x 11.18" x 6.12". Most two-pistol layouts use a 1.5" bottom pad plus a cut layer of 3" to 3.5", leaving the lid foam in place.

Send the model number and we cut to these published interior dimensions. If your case is an older production run, measure the base floor wall to wall and send that too, and tell us whether the factory lid foam is staying in.

Pelican 1500 Custom Foam Insert FAQ

Do you make custom foam for the Pelican 1500?

Yes. We CNC-cut replacement foam to the Pelican 1500 interior (16.75" x 11.18" x 6.12") with pockets for pistols, cameras, drones or instruments, or as solid layers you cut yourself.

Will two pistols with lights fit in a Pelican 1500?

Yes. Two full-size pistols with weapon lights fit side by side on the 16.75" x 11.18" floor with room for four to six magazines along the edge.

Do I need to replace the lid foam?

Usually not. The egg-crate lid foam presses the gear down into the pockets. We size the base layers so the case closes snug against it.
