Mine is working very well, I have no issues with it except that maybe it could be bigger. May get another one of the same size.

Does that one have enough room to store your 150-600 ? That is one reason I am thinking of the bigger one, I don't want to run out of room later on.

I invested in one a year or so ago and am most pleased with it. Got mine off of Amazon...this is the stock photo of the one I got....pretty much can/will hold all my gear, including the bigger glass....(now big = nikon 200-500)....)

I've been thinking about winter in New Zealand. There is always lots of condensation about. Not sure what to do about it

Would one of those plastic big plastic boxes with a clip on lid work if you put some foam hatch sealing tape around the lid so it seals and throw some BIG silica gel packs in?

I wouldn't think you need it in Australia. But I guess your rainy season is worse than I thought. Never knew these existed. Are they designed for photography equipment or something else?

I have no idea - too risky to even think of offering a suggestion with expensive kit at stake.
Personally I think the camera would need circulating but dry air and not something completely sealed in.

Australia is a big country with diverse weather, the coastal regions of the northern half of Australia has very high humidity, percentages in the 80's and 90's are common.

I bought a 90 litre dry cabinet for my gear, $500 well spent, if it saves one lens from fungus it has paid for itself.

Did you end up getting a dry safe?

Wish I'd had my gear in one on the whale watching cruise

I moved from Colorado to Tampa Florida, and I bought one the first week I was here.

This is an 80 liter I got from Amazon for $280 (free 2 day for Prime) and have been very happy with it.

I opted for a wider/shorter version and it holds everything I have 4 bodies, 8 lenses (even the 200-500) and odds & ends and there is still room for more.

Lots of people complain that these have inaccurate readings, and while that is true, their typically only off 2-3% but it’s consistent so I just adjust for it. Nikon recommends between 35%-45% so I have mine set at 40% and good to go!
