Automatic Pressure Release Valve

Automatic Pressure Release Valve

Keep your case from sealing shut. Automatically.

Changes in altitude, temperature, humidity and geographic location create a “vacuum lock” which can effectively seal a case shut. NANUK's integrated auto-pressure valve equalizes this atmospheric pressure difference. Using state-of-the-art technology, the micro vent allows air to pass through while preventing water from entering.

Stand out with a unique design and color selection.

Design & Colors

Stand out with a unique design and color selection.

Rounded corners and chamfered edges merge with strong character lines to deliver a design that is as sleek and modern as it is tough and reliable. Be it for aesthetic preference or more practical purposes, color choice is an important feature for many NANUK users - choose from up to nine colors depending on the case.

Amazing case

Love this case for my filmmaking needs!

Très bien mais inadéquat.

Le produit est solide et efficace, mais il est plus lourd que prévu et me cause un extra bagage à tout coup. Je devrai donc le revendre et trouver une autre solution.

I have several Nanuk case's, 2-975's, 2-988's, 2-918's and a laptop case. The quality is second to none!!! I am very happy with all of the them and would purchase again without hesitation. If and when my 1510 dies, I will replace it with a Nanuk.

Nanuk is the best

All my Nanuk cases are amazing. Travel everywhere in commercial flights with fragile equipments and they are always safe and sound.

Bought two, will be back for more

Purchased nanuk over two other major competitors and the customer service was awesome.

Reasons:
-slightly taller/more room than competitors
-All 4 locking ports backed with metal
-slide down mechanism on the latch design for added security
-ribbed surface for smooth stack and platform utility.

Amazing

Such a great product recommend to any hypebeast or collectors/ photographers/ anyone looking to store something nicely/ even great for expensive clothes

Excellent for backdrops, lights, and stands

I got this for photography purposes. I use it for my light stands, lights, backdrop stands, and various other pieces. It's massive to haul around but the handles and wheels make it much easier than carrying a bunch of cheap nylon bags that come with the products listed. I wanted to have everything in one place, and have it protected when I haul it around in my car. This fit the bill perfectly. The only gripe (I have 4 nano cases total) are that the dividers are sometimes cheaply sewn, and there is no way to get replacements for just your case. Other than that, I am very happy with the purchase and would buy again if the need arose.

Telescope storage

The size could not be more perfect my 8 inch Mak-Newt telescope! Very sturdy, the foam has a good density, I feel my telescope is very well protected for transport and storage.

Just right.

We were looking for a shipping case solution for our portable trade show displays but just couldn't find the right mix of size, weight, and durability. Everything we reviewed missed at least one of our requirements. The Nanuk 988 changed all that. In one lightweight, durable case we've found exactly what we were looking for. The materials are premium and the price is on point. I don't think we could have done better even if we had something made custom. I fully expect the case to outlive whatever materials we ship inside it. Better yet, we can finally deploy our mobile event strategy with a case we know can take the beating of multiple trips cross country. Well done Nanuk!
