Is the NANUK 918 approved for airline carry-on?
Yes. With exterior dimensions of 16.9" x 12.9" x 9.3", the NANUK 918 is designed to comply with the carry-on baggage regulations for most major airlines. However, we always recommend checking with your specific airline before you fly, as their policies can change.
What does the IP67 waterproof rating on the NANUK 918 mean?
The IP67 rating signifies that the NANUK 918 is completely dust-tight and can withstand being submerged in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. This makes it ideal for protecting sensitive electronics and equipment in marine environments, during heavy rain, or in dusty field conditions.
How does the NANUK 918 handle extreme temperatures?
The NANUK 918 is rated for a temperature range from a minimum of -67°F (-55°C) to a maximum of 158°F (70°C). This ensures the NK-7 resin will not become brittle in freezing conditions or deform in high heat, providing consistent protection for your gear anywhere from arctic expeditions to desert shoots.
What are the internal organization options for the NANUK 918?
The NANUK 918 is available with several interior configurations to suit your needs. Common options include:
-
Cubed Foam: A pre-scored block of high-quality foam that allows you to pluck out sections to create a custom-fit cavity for your gear.
-
Padded Dividers: A set of adjustable, hook-and-loop dividers that let you create and reconfigure compartments for lenses, batteries, and other accessories.
-
Empty: Allows for fully custom foam inserts or for carrying larger, single items.
Can the NANUK 918 protect a DSLR camera with a couple of lenses?
Yes, absolutely. The interior dimensions of 14.9" x 9.8" x 8.6" provide ample space for a standard DSLR or mirrorless camera body, two to three lenses, and accessories like batteries and chargers. The optional padded dividers are particularly well-suited for this kind of photographic kit.
Will a small drone like a DJI Mavic fit inside the NANUK 918?
Yes. The NANUK 918 is a popular choice for pilots of compact drones. The internal space is large enough to accommodate most foldable drones (like the DJI Mavic series), a controller, multiple batteries, and charging hubs. Using the cubed foam insert allows you to create a perfectly snug and secure layout for your specific drone model.
