Digi Cabi or Aipo Dry Cabinet for Starters

[mysteria]

Just want to share about dry cabinet , I always think that dry cabinet was an exaggerated thing, but last week I was forced to clean up the store room aka "bomb shelter" by my wife, and there it was, I found my loving canon EOS 300D, my first digital slr from 2004 which I stop abused it around 2 years ago.
To my surprise, when I open the box, the black rubber grip was sticky and seems melting, and the metal on bothside (for neckstrap) was rusted.. Damn!
I was so sad coz this camera have alot of memories and already got me so many things back then, inculding my wife and my downpayment for my house..
So today, I will buy dry cabinet

cheers! ur post made me made up my mind too.. haha!

Hey Guys,

for a DigiCab AD series, is there anything substantially wrong in adjusting the dial to somewhere around the 12 o'clock position and leave my cameras/lens inside whilst the Humidity is at 64-65%? I'm guessing this should have no serious drawbacks and would work just as well, wouldn't it?

Thanks!
Frederick

If you had bothered to do a search,you would have found out that you're supposed to set around 12-1 o clock position...

Hey,

What I meant was, whether I could leave my gear in for the "run-in" period. Sorry for being unclear!

Sorry didn't read properly.Yes you can leave it inside,but some will prefer to wait

I see. My display still says 64%! Guess I'll wait for another hour and see how things go. Any suggestions on getting it to the recommended range?

Thanks so much!

Hmm is ok to leave your stuff inside the dry cabinet before the humidifier meet the desire percentage but it will take longer time to settle down.

What i did when i just brought my dry cabinet is i let it to run over night first then i try and error to adjust to the desire humidity which is between 40% to 50%. After that i put my camera equipment in.

just brought a Digi DB-036, set it ard 12 position and let it run overnight. But Im keep getting 56% and once I open it. It jump back to 62%.
So is this normal ? or need to adjust towards the 10 O clock to get 40%RH.
Please advise

Try to turn it to around 1 or 2 o'clock. The rise in RH when you open the door is normal, give it a bit of time to go down after that and it should be fine.
