Pearl 930 Hardware Pack

A huge help for me to make use of the 930 case that I received as a free add on, but had no insert.

This Pearl paper looks amazing.

We use synology NAS hardware in our core IT infrastructure so when our two year old Costco DVR system failed this inexpensive camera pack was a no brainer. We run 24 cameras (3 pack of 8) with this system and its performing flawlessly.

We pack heavy door hardware demos in these transport cases. The cases themselves are very lightweight, adding little to the overall weight, which is high. Rolling on very sturdy, almost hidden wheels, even fully loaded @ 145 lbs it glides well. Wheels are protected from possible damage in transport.

I've tried dozens of brands and the Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl produce images similar to those black and white dark room days back when I was in school. The pearl has a nice luster and so far everyone who has seen the quality has praised it. Currently using it on a Canon Pixma IP4500. The only con is that there are no color profiles available for the smooth pearl and canon pixma ip4500 combo.

These worked perfect for my Nanuk 930. Had the install done in less than 15 minutes.

I do real estate photography. For me, this includes Matterport virtual tours, still photography, videography, and aerial video/photography. My Matterport camera has a custom cutout Nanuk 930 case. Quite nice and serves the purpose well. However, for photography, video, and drone/aerial stuff, I was carrying a 930 case for my Nikon D850 camera w/18-35mm lens (and several other lenses), and a Lowepro ProTactic 450 AW for my drone. Aerial photos are requested on EVERY listing. So nonstarter, I bring my drone to every engagement. I wanted to consolidate down to two cases. For real estate photography, I only ever need the 18-35mm. So was looking for something to hold Nikon/18-35mm plus drone. Nanuk offers a case for a DJI Mavic Pro drone, but that does not accommodate the iPad nor the MavMount holder for my iPad, and certainly not the Nikon +18-35mm. The other 930 I had would not accommodate the Nikon plus drone. Looking at my options, I ended up purchasing the Nanuk 933 w dividers and lid organizer. (see attached photo). The extra depth of the 933 enabled me to pack all the gear I needed. The 933 w dividers allows me to segment the case to accommodate the aerial stuff I need, plus the, Nikon plus the 18-35mm, plus stow the iPad in the lid. For me, the optimal solution. As a weird aside, pay attention to the pricing for the 933. The yellow w/ dividers and lid organizer is $341, whereas the orange is $202. Then there are intermediary prices depending on color. Fortunately for me, I was fine with the orange (though would have preferred yellow). I now have 5 Nanuk cases in various configurations. As such, I can mix and match depending on the requirement. The net is that I have total confidence that the Nunuk case will protect my very expensive gear. I won't travel without it.

This is my fourth Fastfire purchase. I have them on several firearms like; S&W M&P C.O.R.E., AR15 SBR, MossbErg Blackwater 930, etc. they are very reliable and well built. I also have the Burris AR scopes on two AR's and absolutely love them. Great company!

So far, I'm happy with this purchase. For such a heavy duty/ substantial case, the Nanuk 930 is surprisingly lightweight. Everything you see in my included photos, including a Blackmagic 6K G2 Pocket Cinema, in its SmallRig cage, fits nicely into this case, with plenty of space leftover for more equipment and cables, if needed.

I'm equally happy with the Pelican case purchased years ago and this new Nanuk 930. They're both about the same size and they both offer a bulletproof way to transport your gear in safety. There are, however, key differences in favor of the Nanuk versus the Pelican. The first clear advantage of the Nanuk is in the latch system. It takes considerably more effort to unlatch the Pelican, and while the Nanuk is easier it is by no means less safe or less dependable. Fit and finish is very similar, but I think the hinge system on the newer Nanuk is stronger without adding weight. The lid notched and will not close on your hands by mistake, unlike the Pelican that will stay open generally, but lacks a positive notch. Handles are similar in comfort, but the Nanuk handle is spring loaded, so it rests against the shell and less likely to get caught on other bags or hooks. I have no experience with either case's waterproof properties, but the water shedding method is basically the same and should perform equally well. The size of the Nanuk is adequate to hold 2 DSLRs and 3-4 typical lenses. The manufacturer is located in Canada, so I guess if you need service, the case is not crossing the ocean. If you plan to purchase a Nanuk 930, then enjoy!
