Hey brother, glad your stuff survived. As a Canadian I can tell you, Nanuk is a Canadian Company that is WELL known for their super high quality up here in the north. Snow, rain, dust, drops, even a lake, the case will keep your stuff safe. As good as you can get. Also, the "nuk" part rhymes with book. I promise im not the pronunciation police, just passing it on. Cheers man!
Hahaha oh god I wish I knew that’s how it was pronounced before I made this 😂😂😂. Well guess I’ll pin this comment!!!! Thanks for the info man!! Over here I’ve only really heard of pelican, glad I went with the Nanuk!!
My experience with Nanuks has been painless but IMO my general mantra is “less moving parts means less things that can go wrong” which I why I stuck with Pelican; I got a sky blue 1510. Again, the hundreds of thousands of miles I’ve traveled with Nanuks and Pelicans with tens of thousands of pounds of cinematography and drone gear haven’t broken neither the Nanuk or Pelican. Both are tanks. Congrats on the Nanuk, Cam. Keep it up!
I love the Nanuk. The lid organizer is the best I've used for a great length of time, the padded dividers are high quality and the case is just a smart, extremely heavy durable design. I considered buying another pelican but - when I compared side to side a few years back and having used both now -- no way I'd buy a brand just for the name. I got mine on sale at a famous NYC store for $170 usd a few years back, for the exact model you have, it included the lid organizer. Since it was my first time buying the brand -- I waited to make sure it stood the test of time. Once it proved itself to be as durable and heavy duty as the pelican with the added bonus of great accessories - I picked up 3 more in different colors so now my audio, video, digital stills and film gear is in their own assigned color. The pad locks from Nanuk are also great, I use these when traveling. Only bad thing is that I didnt get the additional 3 nanuks for the crazy great deal I paid for the first. Oh well. 🤗
Hey, I'm glad you went with the nanuk. No joke I had the same experience with my case rolling down a hill and having those clamps lock in place saved so much equipment.
Hey man love the insight on the Nanuk, I’m currently rocking a Peli Air 1535 with trek pak dividers and I got to tell you that is light years ahead of the 1510, I can’t compare it to the nanuk since I haven’t tried one, but I would really recommend you change the 1510 for a 1535. Glad your gear is safe after such a drop, keep the great content coming.
@@Burritosarebetterthantacos the case or the dividers? The dividers are amazing and fit my gear like a well suited glove. If you are referring to the case I can say its amazing, been through some rough terrain and ti held up amazingly well. I would be confident enough that if the case falls with my gear inside that everything would survive the fall.
@@alvaropicca I think I was referring to the case. I think im paranoid about my stuff but I don't wanna lug around a much heavier case if its overkill. Im not jumping out of helicopters and stuff. Anyways, take care.
Love the Nanuk, have the same one myself. I also own a zcam and would love to see how you would fit your zcam rig + accessories in the case! keep it up :)
nanuk is more modern. Pelicans are old looking with everything old about it. Just the nanuks suitcase pull out handle did it for me versus the old school style of pelicans.
I just got this, and I was really shocked by how heavy it was empty - Wow! I don't know what the weight is, but it must be almost 20 lbs. I'm scared to see what it will weigh when I fill it up. Good thing it has wheels.
@@cammackey he might be referring to that spring loaded handle. I worry about that handle too. But overall, I love my nanuk. Much more modern design and better wheels. than Clunky pelican lol.....
PHEWWWWWWWWW, that musta been a mini heart attack bro. hahah glad its all good and that case looks DOPE. im on the Pelican but I hate no issues lookin'
This is the best review/comparison video. Do you think the Nuk 935 (I am also canadian and own 3 other Nuk cases) can hold the C70? It looks a bit shallow for the body if it's put in upright. thanks mate - keep on rockin out the great content
Love your videos but this comparison without comparison is so weird .. can't compare weight, can't compare how they store gear .... old one but lazy one :)
I like some of the features on the nanuk but the pelicans material is much stronger. Mine has been through hell and back and has one very small scratch to show for it. Yours rolled down a hill and looks 20x worse 😂
I see Pelican is real industrial case that is designed & developed tough for every situation from carrying photography staff to military, kayaking , fishing... etc where as Nanuk is just a sealed hard case ... every moving part or mechanism in such cases in my view is a failure point so if you look at the trolley in Nanuk which for many is an advantage, I see it adding weak / failure points .. imagine using this in tough environment sand , salt water ..etc same applies for the closing system , wheels .. also the material of Pelican is more tough , when you see slightly used Nauks you will find scratches , snips ... on the other side Pelican case that is used for years can still appears good with little signs of wear ... conclusion in my view Pelican is the real industrial case , only negative is it weight... note : Pelican Air for me is the same like Nanuk , Pelican protector is one
I disagree 100%. This case rolled down a steep rocky hill in Malibu on a shoot, all my gear was it in. Everything was just fine. Barely a scratch. And I’ve used it in the desert extensively
Though the pelican plastic is thicker and feels more rigid, it is prone to cracking from airline luggage handlers. Thankfully pelican has a great warranty, at work we have a few warrantied each year. I just bought a Nanuk and right away could tell the plastic is softer and feels less robust, but I think it is a reasonable tradeoff for a lighter weight case. At the end of the day it was the latches that led me to Nanuk, the pelican latches aren't very stealthy in regards to nature photography.

@@cammackey lol its no big deal at all, we just like your content.
“nanuk” means icecream in czech language
Beat me to it, fellow Canuck. which also rhymes with. 😀
@@coudik Well Nanuk also relates to cold: it means in Inuktitut language

I bought the Nanuk 935 a few years ago and I've been nothing but impressed with it.

This is a very practical real world review. Thank you!
Super dope video. Short, concise, and extremely helpful. Thank you.

Isnt it alot less protective?

Old product vs new product. Probably had mine over five years. I might check out nanuk
Def. I know a lot of people still buy the 1510 tho because it’s a little more stronger than the air. At least that’s what I keep hearing.
Love the Nanuk, have the same one myself. I also own a zcam and would love to see how you would fit your zcam rig + accessories in the case! keep it up :)
Love your videos man- this vid came at the perfect time, I literally just bought a green nanuk 935 too!
Thanks for this video! Great to learn about Nanuk
nanuk is more modern. Pelicans are old looking with everything old about it. Just the nanuks suitcase pull out handle did it for me versus the old school style of pelicans.
I'm convinced. Thanks!
Great video, thank you!
OMG thanks man! I was about to buy the pelican but thanks to your video I'm getting the nanuk to travel with my guitar pedalboard!
how did you end up liking the nanuk?
How does the C70 fit in the Nanuk 935? Awesome channel BTW - looking forward to more C70 content while I await mine to arrive :)
935 just got one. Fucking amazing
I just got this, and I was really shocked by how heavy it was empty - Wow! I don't know what the weight is, but it must be almost 20 lbs. I'm scared to see what it will weigh when I fill it up. Good thing it has wheels.
Nice, thank you for the review on both cases!
Great video. This does look like the Pelican seems more durable. More moving parts equals more things that can break. ✌️
Nah if you compare the designs, the pelican seems clunky. The nanuk doesn’t really have more moving parts, just a more modern design
@@cammackey he might be referring to that spring loaded handle. I worry about that handle too. But overall, I love my nanuk. Much more modern design and better wheels. than Clunky pelican lol.....
PHEWWWWWWWWW, that musta been a mini heart attack bro. hahah glad its all good and that case looks DOPE. im on the Pelican but I hate no issues lookin'
Nanuk looks like a Rubbermaid container with latches
Glad your stuff was safe! Woot!!
Dude it was so bad lol. The whole crew was screaming
This is the best review/comparison video. Do you think the Nuk 935 (I am also canadian and own 3 other Nuk cases) can hold the C70? It looks a bit shallow for the body if it's put in upright.
thanks mate - keep on rockin out the great content
It holds it! It’s def a bit tight, had to clear put the top pockets just to be extra safe
Hey Cam
Love you practical reviews. Just wondering, I have an R5 as well. Is yours packed in that case with the battery Grip attached? Cheers!
I’ll still with the Pelican, less moving parts. Tried and true.
Nice review! Good to know for travelling
Nanuk is beyter pelican just been industry atandard longer
Can we see the Namuks with the c70 in it please?
which case has the longer extending handle?
would a Godox SL60W light fit well with the nanuk?
Did u find out, i bought 2 aputure 100ds and wondering if those would fit
The Pelican seems smaller though. Can you fly with either of these?
both of these are the carry on size. To the exact spec of the airlines.
Did you dump this case over using the Peter Mckinnon Backpack?
I only use a hard case on specific gigs. If its a slower commercial gig where im not lugging stuff around, I use the hard case.
@@cammackey Aight thanks, just ordered a case, thanks for your review!
Love your videos but this comparison without comparison is so weird .. can't compare weight, can't compare how they store gear .... old one but lazy one :)
Well thanks for the comment, it’ll help the engagement:)

How many giant rocky hills had your rolled down?
Seems like a cosmetic opinion and nothing else. When it comes to protecting expensive camera equipment, fashion is not what I would consider first.
Cool opinion :) thanks for the engagement

I don't care what anyone says, Pelican cases are the gold standard. There's nothing better.
