Should Kendrick controller be sealed from dew?

[Lester]

Hi all, as I am getting more into nightscapes now and using the Kendrick digifire 10 to keep the camera lens dry. The Kendrick unit is relatively open in its design; electrics that are open to damp dripping conditions concerns me. Do others seal their Kendrick in a plastic bag or just let it get covered in moisture?

I have thought of using a zip lock type plastic bag to keep the moisture from getting inside the unit. Would like to know what other do in this area. Thanks.

I guess you could rap a dew heater around it if you have a spare channel.

It should be fine, however if you are still concerned just put a small cloth over it and it will absorb the dew.

I have had my Digifire 7 out in some very wet conditions with no probs. I guess the thing is while it is in use there is enough current running through it to keep it warm enough.

Thanks for your comments everyone. I have had a email reply from Kendrick, and they say they have never had a problem with moisture getting inside. Also that they do sell pouches for the controllers.

So if there has been no problem that is good enough for me, and perhaps a cloth over the top as Leon suggested in very damp conditions.
