Silica gel for storing camcorders
Can anyone suggest where I can get the little paper packs of silica gel?
Thanks in advance! Dorothy |
A Google search for "silica gel packets" gave this (among others)
http://www.adorama.com/ZZSG.html Robin. |
these are the best IMO
Of course I do not know this person or their ad, I just used it to give you a visual.

Thanks for the pic, Dan.
http://store.yahoo.com/cinemasupplies/pesigel15.html B & H carries this but I hesitated getting it for my small Canon ZR. And thanks, Robin! Shame that B & H doesn't carry 'em as Adorama's S & H is twice as much. The only silica paper packs B & H sells are these: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...u=17351&is=REG I've yet to figure out what makes these worth $11 more than Adorama's. Dorothy |
You try going to some shoe shops ,i'm sure they'd have loads ,probably give them to you for nothing.

You can get larger amounts that go in a holder. Once the silica have absorbed water they change color. To restore them you gently bake them to get the water out. I found this holder at a local camera store and used it in a ziploc bag with my tapes when I was in the rainforest.
