Where to keep....Flash?

I left my batt in the flash and in the dry box... :sweat:

Best to remove batts from flash when not in use for long periods of time.

Since you shoot often, I also dun see the point of removing. Only if I know I dun have the time to shoot for an extended period of time, then would I remove the batts.

Just make sure that if you are not using it for long time, take out the battery. There is no need to keep the flash in dry cab.

If you keep using your flash often it should be ok.

Cos i use it every weekend so i can't be bothered to remove my batts from my grip, but flash is an exception.

i follow the manual instructions to take out the batt.. thou there is no need to do so.. however, if no time no use , it's better to take out the batts.. hehe.

Why can't keep flash in dry cab? The flash head can consider as an optic too.

i'd put everything except the flash diffusers and tripods... heh... and the bag..

 

[ipin]

I figured that also since the flashes have circuitry/circuit boards in them, just to play safe, place them in the drycabi. :bsmilie:

lol... ;p hahaha just throw everything related to camera inside the dry cabi la... =P and take batts out... i remove every night b4 sleep, even when using regularly... =D

Well.....i keep everything in the dry cabinet...from batt to camera to lens to hood to cards..watever camera related. Cos everything in one place easier to find mah.

Well..batt must take out..esp alkaline. I dunno if you guys have experienced it before, but if you leave batt in their devices for long, it will melt or leak after a long time thus damaging/ destroying your device. And then of cos, the batt may rust after a while. Which is why it is advisable to remove the batt.

And while the batt is in the device, the device will cont to drain power from it, thus reducing the life of the device. This not important except when you are in a third world country where charging of the batt is damn difficult.
