How do you guys keep your camera/lenses?? Since dryboxes are beyond many people's reach, an alternative way is to get an air-tight Tupperware and some silica gel. Question is, where can I buy silica gel?
Someone suggested those thirsty hippo stuff, but they aren't the same right? |

Will probably try to get the silica gel from Times Square or 1 Utama as mentioned. I will be travelling so a dry box isn't such a good option.

I suppose then some silica gel, hygrometer (around RM10 says julchin_09) and a tub/tupperwear would do the job? Think the total would be around RM 30-50, depending on the size of the tub.

QUOTE(julchin_09 @ Mar 3 2008, 11:47 PM) If you wanna calculate that way, my setup is Silica gel Thirsty HIppo (RM5), Tub/Tupperware (Transparent type @ RM15), Exo Terra Hygrometer (RM10) which makes it a total of RM30. My Tub is pretty big in terms of dimensions (Width X Height X Length) = 24cmx25cmx40cm. Can fit a 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS standing + 3-4 lenses and camera body. Lowest humidity measured is 35%.... Bro, where can get the Exo Terra Hygrometer??  |
