Pelican 1556 Air Reviews

Perfect Size for Camcorders

By Neil
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-01-20

The smallest sized hard case I’ve found that fits camcorders. It’s almost the size of the Pelican 1535 carry-on type, but slightly deeper and narrower to fit tall cameras like Arri Alexa Mini, Red DSMC2 Scarlet-W, and Panasonic CX350. Fairly light for its strength, I use it the most of any size pelican and I own most sizes.

Can this be used as a carry on case?

Asked by: Neal
Yes in most cases, this would be considered a carry-on case. However, it's always best to check with the airline you are flying with for their restrictions.
