Nanuk 935 Hard Case Review // Is it really better than Pelican?

I was looking for a good option for keeping all of my gear in one spot that was not only protected but easy to change up and easy to transport as well. Nanuk 935 has done this for me! Highly recommend this case to other photographers/videographers out there!

Cool to see your video , Actually I work at Nanuk canada and people using Nanuk product rarely returns to competitors 😉They are made in Quebec CA. Many Models colours and accessories are available.

Solid product! Will 100% be buying more for our team:)

It’s a beautiful case. Sadly the handle is too short for me (6’2”) and it’s too unstable…..due I assume to the wheels being too close together

[@ScottSalvi]

Nice video. I like how you went through what's in your case so people can get a good idea of how much you can fit inside it. I just got my case today and I'm going to try and configure it. I did opt for the lid organizer so I can take my laptop with.

[@johnlewisphotos]

Nice man! I did end up getting the lid organizer I little after this video too and I love it! Definitely worth it

[@tycooper7780]

the same for me, I got the lid organizer for my 935 but not for the 938

[@travelbygungahlia]

We bought tsa locks separate love the key locks you can now buy. Good review. We have had ours for two years and highly recommend them too

[@senyum0]

I lost it!!😅

[@matoflynn]

You did such a great job on this review, thank you.

[@ldmndz4652]

its crazy..awesome product by the way..but the thing is depending on the model..there is a video about the replacement latches with the Key lock..that shows you how to install it..but at the same time shows you how to "easily" open these cases and steal whatever is inside..haha all you do is hold and remove the "pins" (depending if its a short or long pin on whatever model case you have) with some pliers that holds the whole latch door and then it can be taken off.. it's actually is really easy as shown on the "installing video"..haha ..especially if you dont have ad added "lock" on those "eye rings/lock holes"..that is a major design flaw..haha

[@johnlewisphotos]

Ooof didn’t know that! Thanks for the heads up!

[@wnose]

3:00 that sound is so satisfying

[@johnlewisphotos]

Haha true!

[@ldmndz4652]

Hi..just curious have you stood on the case?..in a pinch or if needed to?..how does it hold up to that..thanks

[@pauldiazphotography894]

Awesome review! Question, have you used this bag as a carry-on when boarding a plane? And/or has anyone else used this case as a Carry-on? Thank you

[@johnlewisphotos]

Thanks man! And yes I have brought it on an airplane with me already! As well as a cruise ship

[@rennington]

I bought it specifically for carry on but the weight contravenes most airline carry on allowance pretty much when empty

[@tycooper7780]

I wonder why he did buy the lid organizer to place the sd card case, cables, tools, and the other small items. He could have more space for equipment. I have the 935 and 938, the 938 I did not buy the divider because the case is so large but I definitely bought the kit for the 935.

[@johnlewisphotos]

I have the little organizer now! Store my laptop in it, and all my cables, etc. love it!

[@matthewhartman7176]

Yeah, I don't get the worry of the outside getting scratched up either. It's a case, not a camera.

[@maple.everything]

Have you ever had an airline refuse it as carry-on luggage and make you check the thing? I ask because its exterior measurements appear to be larger than the Air Canada and Westjet carry-on luggage sizes.

[@johnlewisphotos]

I’ve taken it on southwest, and JetBlue no problem! Haven’t taken it on either of those though. They never measure it for me either

[@rennington]

I think more importantly it contravenes most airline carry on by weight not size. I bought mine specifically for the size and forgot that MOST airlines have a limit of 7-10kg. This weighs 7kg empty so for me it was a waste of money sadly. Plus, for a pro it’s just too small. Beautiful beautiful case though

[@ladykay8]

I like Pelican's internal lid compartment thingy. Will it attach into the Nanuk?

[@johnlewisphotos]

I did finally get the lid organizer for Nanuk and it fits perfectly snug. The dimensions of the pelican are a little different, but you may be able to adhesivly hold it on there. The nanuk one has screw holes that line up perfectly.

[@daveN2MXX]

"Defeats Pelican by miles"....do you own a Pelican case? There are pros and cons of both cases, and this is more of a review rather than a comparison between the two.

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

I agree, he didn't really do a comparison at all. However, Nanuk does seem to be the superior case, especially from what I've seen on the torture test videos. Also, I think he was referring to external aesthetics only when he referenced Pelican.
