Review: Nanuk 925 Hard Case Take Two

Hey,

So I originally did a quick review of the Nanuk 925 hard case after I first bought it.  Now I will just go over some of the things since then that I want to say after using it in the "field" so to speak.

So I have been driving all over eastern Canada now and taking photos as I go and this is an amazing case to have with me.  It fits all of my gear which is great since I like having my options of what things I want to use.  I have my Lowpro bag as well just incase I want to go on a hike since a hard case isn't great for that.

It isn't great that my battery grip doesn't fit on my camera in the case.  I went over that the first time reviewing the case however I am used to not having my battery grip on now.  I stopped using the grip normally so I don't have to screw it in every time I take out my camera(which was a pain).

And now the new things.

First, I love not worrying about breaking my stuff when I have it packed into my work vehicle.  So that is a nice thing to have going for yeah.  The peace of mind knowing you wont break your camera gear with it knocking around in a vehicle.

I was on a ferry and it was outrageously foggy and the dew was forming on everything for the most part.  This would usually scare me with my camera bag however with the case I didn't fret.  I walked inside the boat and the water was on the case and I just set it down on a seat and wiped the water off of it.

Those are the two main things which were the two main reasons I got a hard case.  Additionally I have found it is very easy to open and close compared to a Pelican case.  I can open and close it with one hand which is useful.

I am very impressed with the case and I am very happy with the purchase.  My only dilemma now is if I buy any more gear... I wont have room.  So maybe in the end, that is good since it will make me think harder about buying more gear since I wont have room.
