Is there a better solution? General Comment - perhaps a better solution... I believe that consistent humidity and temperature levels are important, so here’s my suggestion: use a good dehumidifier(s) in your home (Eg, I use a newer model GE that is energy star rated), which does a great job of keeping the ambient humidity around 38%. This has lots of benefits, including reducing the strain of an HVAC system and keeping the system and duct work relatively moisture free. Then buy a good Gun Safe (AMSEC is a good brand, but there are many) with a dial lock (avoid electronic locks which can fail...). A good safe will have a power outlet inside which you can connect a dehumidifying rod to and keep a humidity gauge inside. A fire rated safe is also recommended; minimum of 60 minutes. Store all your most important valuables, including video gear, wills, passwords book, etc inside and sleep well at night. Gun safes are affordable and come in lots of sizes. You’ll want to pay a reputable firm to deliver and install the safe. I’ve also read that when taking video gear outside, if there’s a big difference in temperature/humidity, that placing the gear in a sealed bag to allow the gear to come to a matching temperature sans condensation is recommended. I’d love to read anyone’s thoughts or experiences along these lines...always looking for best practices. Cheers. Chad K.
While the solutions you list above may also work, unfortunately, we do not offer any of the other solutions, and the Ruggard Electronic Dry Cabinet (50L) would be an option we carry that would be compatible and would maintain the temperature/humidity control to the equipment inside the unit. It is true that moving from indoors to outdoors when there is a large difference in temperature/humidity can cause condensation to form on your equipment, and keeping the item in a sealed plastic bag while the inside/outside temperatures equalize would reduce the condensation occurrence on your equipment.

can I put a canon ef 70-200 with lens cap on standing up on the bottom and have a 5D Mk 3 standing up right on the top shelf without any issues? I will want to have all my lenses standing up on the bottom shelf and my camera bodies on the top standing up without any issues.
You can store your Canon EF 70-200mm Lens with the rear cap on facing straight up on the bottom while your 5D Mark III can be placed at the top.

Can this cabinet be bolted to the wall or floor?
Can this cabinet be bolted to the wall or floor?
Unfortunately no, the Ruggard EDC-FP80L Electronic Dry Cabinet with Fingerprint Lock (Black, 80L) cannot be bolted to the wall or floor. Bolting would involve drilling holes in the cabinet, which could affect the ability to control the humidity.
