I've put a few silica gels in my camera and lens bag. So far so good 2 years fungus free. After watching this video, I think its better to buy a dry box
WOW !!! Silica gels sounds so cool 👍. 2 years fungus free is awesome 😊. A dry box or anything dry should work methinks 🤭. Thanks for sharing this with all of us ❤️. - Rin Othmani, Channel Admin -
The silica gel packs are almost totally ineffective unless in a sealed container - which your camera and lens bag are not. There is a finite amount of moisture they can absorb and in your camera bag (which is not a sealed environment) they will *rapidly* max out on what they can do. Unless you're changing them every few days those gel packs that have been in there for a long time? They're not doing anything anymore.
I think it depends on where one lives or visited. Without storing in a cabinet, let alone a dry one, I never have any issues for over four decades, including cameras & lenses that I bought in the late seventies, such as Nikon F2A, Hasselblad 500 C/M, 50mm, 105mm, 70-200mm, etc.

In regions with a tropical atmosphere, it´s a must have, but it seems not be the case for my location: 20 years with some silica gels in a cabinet in my living room...no fungus! I guess, on my location (central europe) it is important, that the air is able to circulate, to be able to dry as fast as possible...my cabinet isn´t air tight. Also i don´t put my equipment a.s.a.p. into the cabinet after a trip. I give my Lenses time to dry. But that wouldn´t work, if i lived in japan...sometimes they have tropical weather with gazillion % humidity, so the only way to be able to dry your equipment is such a dry cabinet.
Giving time for ur equipments to dry out is very smart indeed 👍. I agree with you. It really depends on where you live. So buy according to your needs. Thank youuu for sharing that with all of us ❤️. We appreciate them so much. Thanks also for watching ... - Rin Othmani, Channel Admin -

I bought a dry cabinet when I firstly learned photography to store only my Nikon D750 and 24mm lens. Now I am totally using mirrorless with 2 bodies and bunches of lenses. It is too tight for all of them. I think I may upgrade to a bigger one.

Hi friend 🙂 one question: if I put inside the gabinete a instant camera that it was outside and I not sure if could have mold, the mold stop it or my other gear inside can be damage?
I used a dry cabinet. But over the years, my lens collection has grown in numbers. So what was sufficient then is now getting cramped and the lens is rubbing one another. Is this alright?
I think camera lenses shouldn't be rubbing agaisnt each other. Maybe you can give them a little bit of space, just to be on the safer side 😉. Or you can add a another dry cabinet 😊. Thanks for watching 😍. - Rin Othmani, Channel Admin -

This video is partially misleading. You don't need a dry cabinet if you don't live in a very humid region of the world, or in an air-conditioned setting.
I bought a dry cabinet recently, I was keeping my gear in an air-conditioned room where the humidity is lower and only taking it out when I would use it, but, that caused a problem, condensation. When the relatively cool gear moves out of the air-conditioned area into a warmer more humid area condensation starts to form all over, but more so on areas that absorb heat quicker, such as metal and glass parts, even inside lenses. I'm now keeping my gear in a non-airconditioned area, in a dry cabinet, as that allows the gear to stay at the ambient temperature without being exposed to the ambient humidity when not in use.
@@dtucny Condensation isn't an issue if you let your gear acclimatize in a camera bag. I've only experienced condensation twice (years ago) and it's pretty easy to avoid. For most, keeping gear in a bag with silica gel packs is more than enough.
@@Tinfoilnation That's where the desiccants come in! Besides, I have shot in the rain, wiped my camera dry and didn't even need desiccants to prevent mold from growing on the gear in my camera bag. Unless your lens is literally covered in water droplets, mold growth is unlikely in the short term.

You can use single use dehumidifiers containers in a box or even a spoiled dry cabinet as long as you check the water lever every regularly (one container can last around 2 to 3 months depending on the size). When you see the level water more than a half container is time to replace for a new one. But if you never check it, you might face the problem mentioned on the video seeing your lenses floating on water.

in my case I put my dry cabinet on my shop so I had to turn it off when I leave every night , so it is turn off for 8 hours during night time and I turns it on for 8 hours from morning to afternoon. Is this safe and okay? I am worried. And I notice the humidity stays at 60% on my first day turning it on
BS 2:36 I've been using this methods for over a decade. I've used my camera once every 3 years. Also my old laptops. It is impossible for it to flood, the volume of water is always less than the dehumidifier balls -- the dehumidifier ball will always run out with the water halfway its container. None of the rubber parts gets cracked. Heat destroys rubber but not low humidity. IF you're very concerned you can smear silicon oil on rubber.
I store those in plastic pouch with silica gel in it and then inside the bag. 5 years fungus free. Before storing them for a long period I always clean the body of the lenses with 70% isopropyl alcohol (not the glasses) to get rid of any fungus specs that might have been there during photoshoot. Weather sealing gasket is still soft and not cracked. But not gonna take a chance, will think about the dry cabinet now.
It was a little flimsier than I expected. I had to add a 2x2 piece of wood to the bottom on the rear side in order to stabilize it better ruclips.net/user/postUgkxXTh-lz-8W6GcB219vTLp27-MxbZYObBX . It is also starting to bow a little at the outer wall ( I've had it up for about 6 months), I've already had a shelf tumble down because of the bow and the fact that the little shelf brackets are quite short. I went out to home depot and got some longer ones so that the shelves don't tumble down again. Overall, it looks very nice for the price and it holds a lot ( I use it as a pantry). I am very satisfied with my purchase. I just strongly suggest reinforcing it before putting it up.
Agree 100% all my equipment sleeps in a dry cabinet for 12 years now and have zero fungus. Best in investment I’ve made, previous to that I ruined my lenses due to ignorance. I keep it at 40% as well ( analogue but I check it often and adjust if need be )
I made a sealed, melamine MDF cabinet with a clamping perspex door and simply placed a Hippo moisture absorber unit in it. It can hold 700 mL of water, but after 3 months, not a drop so far. Worked out to be a 1/4 of the cost of a commercial dry cabinet. it's also worth noting your own location's RH throughout the year, as it will peak in summer but some areas are quite dry and such a cabinet isn't really required.
Do you know the hygrometer that built-in with the dry cabinet is not accurate? It shows 45% Rh but when I measured the humidity with calibrated hygrometer it is actually at 60 something. So I set the value of the dry cabinet at 26% Rh which can manage humidity inside the box around 45% Rh

Be careful. My cab uses analogue hygrometers. The needle showed I was in the safe zone. But what happened was the needle was stuck, the dehumidifier motor was kaput. In the end, I lost 5 Leica lenses to fungus & poor workmanship. In the past, these cabs lasted forever. But now, knock-off models can break down any time.

I love this guy, pretty straight to the point, no BS!
BS 2:36 I've been using this methods for over a decade. I've used my camera once every 3 years. Also my old laptops. It is impossible for it to flood, the volume of water is always less than the dehumidifier balls -- the dehumidifier ball will always run out with the water halfway its container. None of the rubber parts gets cracked. Heat destroys rubber but not low humidity. IF you're very concerned you can smear silicon oil on rubber.
I store those in plastic pouch with silica gel in it and then inside the bag. 5 years fungus free. Before storing them for a long period I always clean the body of the lenses with 70% isopropyl alcohol (not the glasses) to get rid of any fungus specs that might have been there during photoshoot. Weather sealing gasket is still soft and not cracked. But not gonna take a chance, will think about the dry cabinet now.
Awesome video, bro. Thanks for the tips. I'm buying one now.
I need this guy on all my tutorials I watch, great job!
Never had any fungus on any lens I've had, some going back 15 yrs.
It was a little flimsier than I expected. I had to add a 2x2 piece of wood to the bottom on the rear side in order to stabilize it better ruclips.net/user/postUgkxXTh-lz-8W6GcB219vTLp27-MxbZYObBX . It is also starting to bow a little at the outer wall ( I've had it up for about 6 months), I've already had a shelf tumble down because of the bow and the fact that the little shelf brackets are quite short. I went out to home depot and got some longer ones so that the shelves don't tumble down again. Overall, it looks very nice for the price and it holds a lot ( I use it as a pantry). I am very satisfied with my purchase. I just strongly suggest reinforcing it before putting it up.
Agree 100% all my equipment sleeps in a dry cabinet for 12 years now and have zero fungus. Best in investment I’ve made, previous to that I ruined my lenses due to ignorance. I keep it at 40% as well ( analogue but I check it often and adjust if need be )
what brand?
can i also put hamburger with cheese and french fries inside?
can i put camera battery in dry box
I made a sealed, melamine MDF cabinet with a clamping perspex door and simply placed a Hippo moisture absorber unit in it. It can hold 700 mL of water, but after 3 months, not a drop so far. Worked out to be a 1/4 of the cost of a commercial dry cabinet. it's also worth noting your own location's RH throughout the year, as it will peak in summer but some areas are quite dry and such a cabinet isn't really required.
Do you know the hygrometer that built-in with the dry cabinet is not accurate? It shows 45% Rh but when I measured the humidity with calibrated hygrometer it is actually at 60 something. So I set the value of the dry cabinet at 26% Rh which can manage humidity inside the box around 45% Rh
made my day

Be careful. My cab uses analogue hygrometers. The needle showed I was in the safe zone. But what happened was the needle was stuck, the dehumidifier motor was kaput. In the end, I lost 5 Leica lenses to fungus & poor workmanship. In the past, these cabs lasted forever. But now, knock-off models can break down any time.
Love how straight forward this is. No waffling, no maybes… Do you need a dry cabinet? F**k yes.

Question, should I remove my lens from camera when storing in bag. Or keep lens on camera.

Can a Dslr shutter seize up if the camera hasn’t been used for long periods , for example 1-2 years or so? If stored even in a dry cabinet at the correct 40-50RH? Thanks in advance 👍
