I don't personally know why you're putting your high value lens in like that. It's sticking out of the case which when you close the top, its adding so much unnecessary pressure. I have been in this industry for 19 years and have learned the hard way, to NEVER add unnecessary pressure to a piece of gear, especially when traveling.
You start this video just bashing the Pelican case... The Nanuk isn't as study and is smaller on the inside. Nanuk sent you that case for free, didn't they? 😂
after i used the nanuk 935 for a year now there are two things i dislike: the distance between the wheels makes the case unstable and wobble and sometime event fall/roll over to the side. also because of the design of the big handle, there is just so much space wasted! there is very little space on the inside of the case, so i am still not sure i would chose this over the pelican 1510
thanks so much for this video!! I was only aware of Pelican cases. But now this gave me more options to figure out what case is best for me!! The Nanuk pull out handle is 10x better than the pelican one. The pelican one seems so outdated.
glad the video was resourceful! I will say the trekpak although more expensive and not as customizable is a deeper organizer system and lets you fit more things so one thing to keep in mind
The GM 24-70 standing upright is quite a lot taller than the padded insert. Will a laptop also fit in the lid pocket with the lens upright or do you have to store it laying down?
yeah it wasn't the best example lol I definitely recommend placing the lenses down if youre using the padded insert. this is still where the trekpak has the edge over the padded insert
is the laptop part soft inside ? is it padded? or is it hard in plastic ? and how has it held up till now, I'm very very close to buy one but this is very important to me because it is expensive.
yeah I do think its better made and designed however i now have a trekpak insert in my nanuk as you can pack a lot more stuff than the padded dividers so that'd be my only suggestion
I have. I was on two small domestic flights serparately to Ohio and Alabama and the planes were so small you couldnt' really fit any carry on bags up top. So I always have a book bag now to fit my main stuff just in case
