Yep spot on. The desiccant carriers we were looking at have an "O" ring and nut that would sit inside the housing, thus when undone the nut comes loose nor can it be taken out to "charge".

Which means its not suitable and yes I've been looking at other camera set-ups just like you mention. You can actually buy some of these plugs from camera mfgrs.

We would need to ensure the housing is threaded for this...but the housing walls are a little "thin". Maybe glue in place a doubler?
