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)

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.
A local sporting goods store carries these locally, so i have not bought them from the net.

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 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.
