The Pelican 1550 is a wide, mid-depth case for camera kits, instruments and multi-pistol range sets. We CNC-cut a Pelican 1550 custom foam insert to the 18.63" x 14.18" interior with a pocket for each item.

Custom cut foam insert for a mid-size hard case

Pelican 1550 foam insert, cut to your gear

The 1550 floor is almost square, which suits a two-row layout: heavy items down the centre, batteries and accessories along the edges. Routed closed-cell foam keeps every pocket crisp.

  • Camera body, lenses and a gimbal with batteries and monitor
  • Three or four pistols with magazines, lights and ear protection
  • Test and survey instruments with probes, cables and chargers

Send the Pelican 1550 model number and your gear list, or build the layout in the online designer.

Pelican 1550 interior dimensions for foam

Pelican lists the 1550 Protector interior at 18.63" x 14.18" x 7.72". That depth takes a 1" bottom pad, a cut layer of 4" to 4.5" and the factory lid foam.

Interior (L x W x D)18.63" x 14.18" x 7.72"
Exterior (L x W x D)20.66" x 17.20" x 8.40"
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.
