Hi guys, help me out here....

The Aipo AS 25L and the AS 31L, the price difference isnt much. Surely 31L should be better. Is there anything that causes the price to be so close ?

Is the AS 25l better than the 31l.

Will appreciate any view and help. Thank you.

Might be off topic but have u considered DIY? It will cost you less than RM30.

All you need is a air tight container (quite cheap at Mr DIY), hygrometer (about RM5) and Dehumidifier which can last about 2-3 months (RM5)

I'm doing this now

Appreciate ur reply. Believe me, i did put in a container frm diy.... its not air tight. Also i dnt want to be guessing how much dehumifire i must put. The wrong amount and it dries out the rubber parts !

I know what u mean. But its a matter of preference. Thanks.

price close? looks normal to me...about rm50 difference.

neither one is better, but obviously one is bigger a bit...so buy depending on ur needs and what u need to fit.

i been using the aipo 38L for the last 6-7yrs...still working fine...just had to change the adapter roughly every 3yrs.

Hows the power consumption like? Im thinking to get 31lit for some leather wallet/watch and mirrorless camera.

5v 2a output...so tnb roughly rm1.50 / month only.
i put couple of wallets and old notes inside also.

So you just leave it on 24hrs right? Great..then i think i cn proceed to buy..

obviously 24hrs...else defeats the purpose of using it right.

where and which model u gonna buy

Almost made payment for aipo 31L, then this came to me http://www.gstrapinuse.com/index.php?main_...d2f2e95384783c2

They dnt sell aipo and recommend Nabuxson... fully digital unlike analog like aipo.

Is it too difficult to control the analog ? Have to set frequently ? Or its just as easy peasy !

no idea... but i bought my aipo from them years ago... that time my 38L rm300+.

the analog and digital aipo i guess one use knob adjust... and the readout only regular lcd... not led like the digital ones.

Come on Sifus ::::: gimme an advise !

haha..noob question to ask

plan to get from shashinki.. decent price.

the aipo? i see like expensive only on shashinki.
go lelong, got cheaper...got sellers in kota damansara and nearby areas with stores there.

you're right. because im in JB and i can self collect from shashinki. They did mention lowest price guarantee, let me try if the will honour it.

oh JB...
but do shashinki allow self-collect?
i also curious on the price guarantee...been a long time since i bought anything from shashinki...back then they didnt have any such price matching.

i did realise that...it is high

you can get octopus dry box, it is lifetime warranty if you buy from official distributor

I'm using Octopus Digital Dry box 25, it failed after 5 years but get free repaired, now still working fine

Hey thanks for the info. Life time frm disttibutor ? Where did u get it frm?

Also this model fully digital ?

U using this exact model ? Wanna see what other models they have.

It is all in the above link.

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1315135

oh ok. i though it was just a link, not the distributor. the warranty has changed now i guess. 5yrs. thanks.

appreciate it man. i ddnt this thread existed. but looks like inactive, but the link in the thread helps.

thank you so much....and this is in KL !

hi there, you can get 1 or to be safe 3 Hygrometers from Daiso (2 out of 3 voting system becoz their meter cheap but not so accurate) so you can monitor the humidity. but chances are even with humidifier you can only get around 50% humidity. and everytime you open the container more humid gets in.

i have a small dry box that fits 2 DSLR & 2 compact camera, i can say it's not really air tight, maybe the rubber are old.

The model is Aipo AS-21L, it's the size of a microwave.

Even highest setting i can only get 60% humidity which is more or less same as room humidity... the analog temp+humid combo meter is faulty now, so i put a Daiso Hygrometer inside.

wallet i think not good put inside. wallet needs moisture like oil to stay healthy.

heat & dryness is not good.

have they moved to shoplot?

thanks for the info.

Yeah i too wanted to get the 25L, but afraid its too small. For now i have a dslr, another mirror less, one 150mm lense. I think this it self will take 90% of the space in the 25L. Knowing me, i am sure i will some other stuff much later, hence opting for at least 31L.

size of micro wave huh...thsta why i was imagining. thanks for the comparison, it helps.

meter gone ? ohw, more than 5 yrs already ?

actually how do you set these analog dry boxs' ?

.

makes sense

analog is set with a turning dial got few settings A-E. it's not feedback from the analog meter as they are just for info. it broke like temperature showing 10degC & humid 70%.

however anyone using this make can tell me why when i turn the dial below D, the red lights turns off? issit the system got it's own humid detector so it turns off based on the measurement?

umm a dry box for cameras set at 45rh technically isnt dry air...nor is it hot as its room temperature.
leather should actually be kept between 30-40rh...malaysian humidity is way too high to store leather out in the open.

Yup..i saw already moved to shoplot.. havent visited them though.

Not good to keep outside for long periods, if not using. i destroyed one of my beloved wallets, its was inside the box with original wrapping paper(dont know what paper). Fully covered in mold.. so sad... i dont even bother cleaning it..because too much mold..

My 25L drybox can fit in Canon 6D, canon 70-200mm F4L lens, Samyang 14mm lens, Canon 24-105mm F4 Lens and Canon 40mm lens.

I use xioami temp and humidity zigbee sensors to monitor the drybox, I have a smart home system than can monitor the sensor, if humidity sensor exceed threshold, it can alert me.

U se these extra sensors though the digital meter on the drybox is funtioning ?

yes, I don't check the dry box humidity often, so I need something can alert me.

I have some issues with my unit, where did you send your unit for adaptor replacement?

Can you provide the vendor contact?

Thank you!

nothing to do with sending the unit, its just buying a new power adapter.
i went to ylcamera.
cant recall price, but its somewhere around rm50-60+.

I may have calibration issues on my AIPO (Digital) dry box, do you know any shop where I can send for servicing or repair?

you can contact back AIPO via email first.
If needed, they may ask you to send back to the shop you purchase your drybox.

how do u know got calibration issues?

I may have used the wrong terminology. I have set humidity to 43% but the box reading is higher between 49% and 53%.

I can't go back to the seller as I have lost his contact. Who/where can I send for checking in PJ/KL area?

again, i would probably say ylcamera.
go give them a call and see.

Thanks.

is the octopus drybox still available in the market?
