OK, for those wanting a dry box, maybe we should bulk? Just prepare cash and buy together? Haggle together for better discounts maybe smile.gif

Any recommendations on where to get? I heard J-One sells the AIPO brand. Since it's a decent shop (not the best price, but damn pleasant shop owner) can get from there? I'm looking for one as well.

So cheap?

My box is about 2/3 the size of undazztood's one, with only 2 racks instead of 3. Other than that, looks the same. Glass door with a key.

Note when buying - examine that the doors shut tight.

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.

I think better than buy blue hippo but cheper than dry box can keep in bag. Ask for discount.

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.
