in this scenario, will the thirsty hippo suck up all the water inside the air tight box, thus resulting in the mechanisms of the camera not functioning properly due to too much friction?
wacko said:probably. the thirsty hippo could possibly result in a lower than ideal relative humidity level, resulting in drying up of the oil and grease within cameras and lenses.
what makes you think silica gel will not do the same, esp if you have doubts about thirsty hippos?jasonpgc said:I'm not sure if thirsty hippos emit any other chemical besides sucking water. Better be safe than sorry. Use proper Sillica Gel instead.

it is very low, less than $5 a month if i recall my calculations vaguely...Pokka said:heh, think its better to invest in an electronic dry box long run. does it consume alot of electricity? i remember reading some threads on it somewhere..but somehow..cannot find it liao.
I believe it depends on the size of the air-tight box.wacko said:hmmm, we have 2 users with 2 very different results... wonder whose RH meter is the more accurate one... heh
OT: CoExist, hungry hippo is a cute board/tabletop game for kids. :sweatsm:
wow...$5/mth!! that's a lot.wacko said:it is very low, less than $5 a month if i recall my calculations vaguely...
