BRNO releases dri+Cap lens caps

Article Summary:

As underwater image makers, we spend a lot of time in fairly damp, humid environments. Maintaining our equipment’s function in these can be a challenge. BRNO has launched camera and lens caps that have a built-in chamber to allow a desiccant pack to be inserted and O-rings to help create a firm seal to prevent moisture from seeping in. The company claims that the system “stores your camera equipment at the optimum relative humidity (RH) of 35% to 45%.” This minimizes condensation build-up and avoids any mold growth within lenses or cameras.

The dri+Cap is available now for Nikon or Canon cameras and lenses. A complete kit consisting of both camera and lens caps costs $44.99, with individual caps costing $23.99 each.
