Wow, bro, we are drying the same way !! haha

I bought my camera 1.5 months ago. Also using the dry box with NTUC brand dehumidifier because I read some post saying the blue silica gel is not healthy. I opened only 1/3 of the cover. Still on my first box of dehumidifier. Humidity is always within 45-55%.

This morning it was about 48%, then I opened the box to put my camera in for the 1st time, it jumped up to 60% !! So I kiasu, opened a new NTUC bought non-"thirsty hippo" brand one to put in to supplement the drying, before I left the house it went down to 52% and still going down.

Will update when I get home this evening.

60% is all right
even 65% is okie.

but not more...if u on aircon every night...humidity is some where 65-70%. sg humidity = 80% any time.. rainy days 89%!

been shooting for 2 years...still using my 80L DIY drybox ...keke...humidity control @55%
damage done on dry box = less than $20.

anyway if u are using just 1 lens and its kit lens + camera...use it often u dont even need a dry box

For those using hippo....just a word of caution,

cos i was a fellow hippo user....wats the point of getting a digi cabinet when i got like 3 lens and a body and some flash etc...

then one day the hippo somehow not feeling thirsty anymore n started vomiting. I might have toppled it accidentally when i close the cupboard...next min when i discover...water was everywhere....

thank god...it didnt hurt any of my item...but that was the time i felt a need for dry cabi...

yes, no doubt a hippo cost only $2++ but it nearly cause me a few thousands..
not taking the risk again....
