I have quite a bit of stuff (3 bodies and a bunch of lenses) and I'm trying to figure out the best way to store them when I'm not using them.
Thinking of some type of small cabinet and then install a goldenrod, or those humidity absorbation type pads. Any ideas? thx |

Maybe some type of add-on tool box used as a stand alone? Don't think k a wooden machinist box will hold them.

Depending on your size needs, Stack-On locking cabinets seem like a good choice.
It's on my to-do list. |

More seriously though, the goldenrod things for gun safes is probably the best idea. All the other methods can get messy during high humidity times. (Arkansas is banging along around 90% humidity in the summer)

(Arkansas is banging along around 90% humidity in the summer) For me, the goldenrod things are at best a band aid. All they do is raise the temp, and temp and RH are inversely related. Hey don’t do anything to actually reduce the amount of moisture in the air. |

I have a large one for my guitar room, with a humidifier for winter time. |

I personally toss some reusable desiccant packs in all of my cases, but it's not exactly humid where I am that often.
If it's a real issue though, Ruggard and a few other companies make cabinets specifically for keeping camera gear climate controlled to keep moisture and mold issues down. They aren't cheap, but you get heat and humidity control with one. (I think the 10L size is around $200 and that'll just hold a handful of bodies or lenses. |

Depends on the value - a gun safe with a golden rod might not be a bad choice.

And even at $520 for the 125l version, that’s not that expensive, considering I’ve probably got $10-12k in gear. |

I'm considering one after I get moved into a new place. I'll eventually have to upgrade to a Z9II (when they come out) so I might as well go with good storage instead of pelican style cases for everything. |
