I want drybox also ...

me only keep my drybox humidity at 45%-55%. just using analog, digital to pricey for me.
and i keep all my gears in the drybox include my flashgun, batteries, memorycard as long it can be fit inside the drybox
i bought from photomalaysia and they send the drybox to me in seri kembangan for free.
just be carefull about the power and the door.

I bought this below rm40 in International photo pertama complex.
I think this is good to dehumidify - if indicator said need to plug in than u plug in to electric plug for 1 hour n use for 6 mths and last very long.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for, thanks man... Saw a similar thingy on the net, was wondering if anything similar was sold locally... Don't know how effective it is though...

Initially wanted to get these + tupperware but I read somewhere they don't last long in practice. I can't seem to recall which forum though (Malaysian definitely). Hence my decision to get a dry box.

Those using dry hippo, be careful. If too dry, you will spoil the rubber parts of your camera.

Eiraku, that thing is cool, it can last forever and simply with indicator to show if you need to plug it....Ist floor in pertama complex in front of Bank BSN ask ppl where is BSN and the shop name is International photo...the boss and the lady even teach me for free how to use my dslr..i am just a beginner and bought alpha200 not from them but in low yatt. I bought a tamron 70300 from them. They dont even mind i bought my body from elsewhere but still helpful. Look for the girl in the pic (she even pose for me without asking guess she likes me hehehe), refuse any other sales girl (not vey bright). The boss himself a stout man is also very friendly.

Effectiveness? If you trust silicon gel, its the same but doesnt retain water and can recharge to dry (with indicator), not as good as dry box but for sure its mobile and suitable for personal (non profesional). But for camera shops or studio I think dry box lah but ppl like me who owns a couple of lens ...have to think budget lorr.

What about the door undazztood? You mean the weak hinge and hence door falling off? Then the power?

just make sure u can turn on the power

Hahaha! Of course. I once forgot to turn on the power but it was able to maintain humidity for 8 hours. Not bad. But I'm very concern about the door. The hinge is weak and it will not provide a good seal to the box. What about yours?

Which pet shop can get it in area KL?

Ah.. wants me to get a Dry box to

Dry box expensive for me at the moment...

hanafinoor, your photo can't see anymore. =p

How much u get that silica thing ? thanks

Yes Hanafi, mano gambornya?

OOps deleted by me cause I thought no respond here anymore...ok the price rm30+ international photo, pertama complex next to sogo. Can plug in to electricity if you need more dryer.

Anybody know where can find cheap2 silica gel?

Sorry for bumping the topic but im finding those small packets and not lare ones.Thanks.

You can buy those small packs at any Foto Shangrila outlets. I bought mine there and it costs RM5.90 per pack. Just cut a small opening on the plastic bag and it's good to go.

but it wont last long
you need to recharge it often!

Thanks for this info. Been wanting to buy this for my camera bag ages ago.
