Re: How to avoid condensation inside housing in hot humid weather?

Well, I'm not expert, but I've used EWA Marine bag for a compact camera while kayaking. I remember that for proper use these bags must be pumped with some air via small valve (of pneumatic matress resemblance). By the way, that single element was the main weakness of the bag - easy to open accidentally.  Some extra protection needed.

What is important here: I've discovered qucikly that blowing air by yourself into the bag gives a lot of condensation if you don't use dessicator inside. So I've bought rubber ball for blowing dust and used it as a small pump. It worked, but in your case I would probably use both it AND dessicator. Note, the ball must be relatively big one or have an inlet one-direction valve in the rear end to work effectively. Your soft-casing is bigger than mine was...
