Hi hi, recently bought a camera and would like to seek your kind input..

  1. Do you all use dry box to keep the camera and lens ? If yes, which model or brand do you recommend ?

  2. Is insurance a good idea in case of damage, theft, loss, etc ? If yes, which plan or insurer to consider ?

Thank you ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

I have a Pelican 1510 that I keep my camera stuff in as well as many other pelicans of different sizes; however, I don't keep any batteries inside the cases..especially any that are Lithium Ion. I also keep a big packet of desiccant in the cases to prevent mold and fungus from spreading inside if left for long periods of time, unattended. These two items work together perfectly to preserve my gear. I suspect I could leave this gear in the cases for 100 years and come back to find all of it (except batteries) in 100% pristine condition.

Thanks for the suggestion! Seems like a good combo where I can use the case at home and outside. I will look into that in a nearby store.
