Aipo Dry Cabinet for photographers usage are specially designed to store Cameras, Lenses and accessories. With humidity controlled environment inside the cabinet, fungus growth, which is the number one enemy of photographic equipment will be eliminated.
Why Use Dry Cabinet?
- No more spoilt pictures due to FUNGUS
- No more COSTLY lens cleaning services
- Eliminate deterioration of lens quality after cleaning as a result of fungus attack
- The cost of cleaning just 2 infected lenses is already higher than the cost of a dry cabinet
- If the expensive coating on the glass is infected, this coating will be removed as well during the cleaning process. Thus, the optical quality of the glass will deteriorate (introducing more purple fringing, ghosting, flaring and etc)
- Since a lens is so compact and precise, 100% restoration is difficult to be achieved after dismantling your lens for cleaning purposes. Thus, mechanical quality of the lens might suffer as well (introducing more distortion and front/back focusing problem)

Analogue Control vs. Digital Control
1) Advantages of Analogue Control

- Cheaper than Digital Control.
2) Disadvantages of Analogue Control
- Drying time greatly dependent on the photo-shoot outing site such as highly humid area by the seaside.
- Requires frequent RH adjustment through the control knob.
- Difficulty in obtaining the exact RH value
3) Advantages of Digital Control
- Faster drying capability.
- No fine tuning or frequent adjusting required. The %RH will not go below your set value.
- Memory that remember your set %RH even after a power blackout.
- Peace of mind. Just key in your desired %RH once, and it will maintain %RH for life.
Aipo Digital Features
- A digital control utilizes a feedback control loop to accurately control the humidity reading within the preset value.
- Users are only required to key in the ideal %RH once and the rest is being handled by the feedback control loop.
- The drying module will operate with full rated power whenever the internal %RH is above the preset %RH value.
- The power supply to the drying module will be cut once the preset %RH is reached, thus ensuring that the internal %RH does not get too dry.
- An in-built memory makes sure that the preset %RH is stored and no re-adjustment is necessary after a power black out
- No battery is required to operate the digital meter.
- Much faster drying capability than analog control.
