Is there no danger of water condensation in humid tropical climates?

I live in a very humid climate and used this for the first time during a rain storm a few days ago. I did not get any condensation. Camera was kept dry though. You have to be careful though with your hands as I was using this handheld, I did get some moisture from my hands that got inside. No damage though. I think this product is better used on a tripod than hand held.

In terribly humid climates I would hope your camera is weather sealed. This product prevents wet weather from dropping on to your camera but has opening for your hands so allows the air (humid or not) in. It would certainly keep the outside of your camera nice and dry.

Really hard to say, I've only used it in the north east U.S. and so far it's been fine. It won't keep humidity out of the cover, obviously the holes for hands stay open, but I mean it won't make a different in terms of how humid it would get inside. There's enough air flow, especially if the bottom zipper is unzip so just the cover rests on top. I will also say this though. I've tried using it once, it was very difficult to use honestly. It's near impossible to adjust a zoom lens manually and hard to see the LCD screen or through the eye hole. I would only buy this product if you just want something affordable to keep light mist or light rain or light snow out.

That I'm not sure of. I've only used it in snow storms and light rain. It is a great material flexible and fitting in my opinion but I'm not sure about humid climates.

I've used this product in a semi-outdoor setting. I definitely would avoid exposure to water, rain, moisture,etc. Its not a sealed unit, nor is it water proof-but it still creates a great water effect.

It is lightweight and I've never had moisture underneath due to condensation. It's a really nice product. There is a thin mesh for the fitted part which helps with air flow. The top is soft and even the waterproof backing is lightweight.

I have not had a problem with rain. I do keep them closed during the summer since the humidity would be much higher outside than in the crawl space.

None here. It does stay damp for a time after getting wet, but after over a year of ownership, I haven't had any water-caused issues.

I don't know about that. I have had mine for several rainy monthes outside with no problems.

I do not use a moisture sensor so I am not sure about comparability. It is constantly hooked up to your local weather station so we have not had any issues with over watering.

This is great unit for humid conditions. Barely generates any condensation. Whynter has their warranty information up on their site and user manual if you need it. It's actually has quite a good warranty coverage compared to others. Very happy with this unit so far.

No I live near the ocean in an extremely hot and humid environment and have seen no corrosion, where normally I would

I am in Hawaii so the humidity is generally fairly high, if that is what you mean by "area around the unit is wet". Otherwise, the immediate area only got wet when the unit leaked in the manner that I previously described.

although i live in the humid southeast, i've had no mold or mildew problems. of course the hvac system is doing that job as well.

No problem with the distance but take into consideration that there is a considerable amount of condensation produced that requires a run off in order to avoid humidity problems. Works well and will give you good results.

Not sure about outside humid climates. I teach aquatics at an indoor pool, it's very hot and humid. This only gets as cool as the water you wet it in. No matter how many times you snap it, it does not get any cooler and warms up very quickly around my neck. Was not worth the money for what I need.

I think it would be safe for patio. Not sure about moisture.., it has a wood table surface which is pretty smooth so condensation could possibly be an issue?? Sorry hope it

Not at all, it's actually great for days like that....enough protection so you don't get wet but not too thin so the humidity feels like its sticking to you. I've been very happy with it for just that purpose. For reference, I live in a humid midwest type climate so we get plenty of those hot humid days.

I haven't noticed any. Any condensation seemed to drip onto the patio down below. However I live in the Pacific Northwest and it's not horribly humid like it can be in other parts of the country.

We'll I live on a boat, so you can't get mug more humid than that. I've had it around our hot tub, but am still carefull with it. It does state not water resistant On the package.
