Humidity Sensor And Fan Control Switch

This is my first dry cabinet. I know the temp sensor is accurate, and the humidity sensor seems to be holding a consistent level, moving up or down a peg depending on the environment. It shot up 4 points after having the door open for only about 30 seconds and within a few minutes was headed back down. I'll probably test with a 2nd sensor, but everything seems fine. I'm storing 3 Canon bodies and 7 lenses, from a nifty 50 to 100-400L, and with a bit more effort organizing could add a few more.

On a recent trip to Charleston SC I experienced some very high humidity that caused some dust to stick to the sensor of my D700 and adhere to it where normal cleaning (Cameras cleaning system or Arctic Butterfly) would not clear it. I purchased the VisibleDust Sensor Clean and Sensor Swabs Type 3 and a few drops of solution and one sweep from each side of the swab did the trick perfectly. This saved me from shipping the camera to service paying at least $50.00 and doing without for 3 weeks. Before I did this I thought this stuff was overprice now I realize it's money well spent.

Switch works as expected, powering 12W of devices across 2 ports, and the fan is not audible at all (Fan level stays at 0). Very happy with the additional ports.

I placed this switch in one of my pinch point. It supports speeds at nearly 100% rating. This Network Switch does not have a fan but a large heat sync on the top, so it sits on my desk without adding noise to the work area. I added 10GBaseT Transceiver so that it talks to my backbone at 10 Gbs. Even not knowing whether the CAT6 cabling would support the speed, it did and the performance is solid.

My concern for my expensive photography bodies and lenses drove me to look for a humidity control cabinet. I looked at a couple of different manufacturers and size cabinets and chose the Sirui HC-110. I have 3 bodies each with a battery grip, 6 lenses in eluding a 200-0400 F/4 all fit comfortably with room to grow. Only drawback is the bottom shelf cannot be used at the lower level ,the adjustable shelves due to the humidity unit sticks out an inch or so inside the cabinet preventing the drawers to be fully pushed to the rear. Not a big deal and able to work around.

I bought this mainly to keep my growing camera and lens collection clean and organized. The humidity control is a nice extra in my opinion. I really just got tired of having my stuff stored in multiple camera bags and find this a much more tidy solution. Easy to see and get to gear and it is always dust free. The cabinet itself stores a ton of stuff and is very well built. It took me all of 5 minutes to get it up and running. It came very well packed. My favorite purchase for some time. For the price it was a great deal.

One problem with using silica gel to control humidity is how long to heat it in the oven to drive off the water; a second is how to store the dry gel until you use it. This unit takes care of both. When the gel turns pink (visible though a widow), plug it into a 120 V outlet for an hour or so until the gel turns blue. This is easy enough, that the storage of dried gel is a non-issue.

I purchased this item to store my camera - the size is perfect and seems to control temperature/humidity for my gears! I like how the design is so simple too.
