The first point I have to make is that it enjoys the same tough build quality that all Nikon gear has. Having bought the scanner in London, and needing to take it to Brazil, I removed it from its protective packing and stuffed it in a suitcase with no more that a layer of bubble wrap on either side. Such practice is NOT recommended, and not for the faint hearted. It arrived unscathed, and I had it operating within a few minutes of unpacking.
