Eirmai India: Dry Cabinets, Bags and Where to Buy
What Eirmai is and who uses it
Eirmai makes storage and carry gear for camera owners. The range centres on electronic dry cabinets, which keep lenses, bodies and other optics at a controlled humidity, and it extends to camera backpacks, shoulder bags and rolling cases. Humidity is the quiet enemy of glass in India, where monsoon months and coastal cities invite fungus onto lens elements, so a dry cabinet is a practical purchase, not a luxury.
The buyers are wedding and event photographers, wildlife and travel shooters, rental houses, studios, colleges and anyone with a lens collection worth protecting. If you search for Eirmai India, you are most likely trying to find a dry cabinet that fits your kit, or a bag that carries it safely.
Eirmai product lines and what each is for
Electronic dry cabinets: the MRD series
This is the core of the brand. The Colo Exim brand page lists these models with their capacity: MRD-21C at 20L, MRD-30S and MRD-30W at 30L, MRD-45S at 40L, MRD-55 at 50L, MRD-75 at 70L, MRD-105 at 100L, MRD-128 at 120L and MRD-188T at 160L with a dual compartment.
Features listed on the page include digital humidity control in a range of 25 to 60 percent RH, a STAC controller, LED or touchscreen display options, a tempered glass door with a magnetic seal, steel construction, a key lock, quiet operation below 20dB and a power draw of 5W. Eirmai describes STAC as a smart thermoelectric controller that holds humidity close to the target you set. These are the brand’s own claims as presented on the page.
Camera backpacks: the Kevlon series
The backpacks are sold as the Kevlon series, with Kevlon Pro and Kevlon Lite named in the page’s FAQ. The listed features are Kevlon fabric with leather accents, weather resistance, padded modular dividers, a laptop compartment up to 15.6 inches, a tablet pocket, a tripod mount, side compartments, memory card slots and an included rain cover.
Shoulder bags, rolling cases and dry cabinet accessories
Eirmai also lists camera shoulder bags, camera rolling cases and dry cabinet accessories. The shoulder bags are described as offering quick access, padding and adjustable dividers. The rolling cases are described as hard shell with inline skate wheels, a telescopic handle, a customisable interior and TSA-approved locks. Model names for these are not listed, so ask us for what is currently available.
Why the display and controller matter
A dry cabinet is only as useful as the control behind it. The listed range of 25 to 60 percent RH lets you set the cabinet for lenses and bodies, and the choice between LED and touchscreen display decides how easily you read and change that setting. The tempered glass door lets you see inside without opening it, and the key lock keeps casual hands away from expensive glass in a shared studio.
The page also lists services around the cabinets: technical support, humidity sensor calibration, repairs, replacement parts and maintenance guidance. Ask us what applies to the model you choose.
How to choose the right Eirmai product
Capacity is the main decision, and the sizing guide on the Colo Exim page is a good starting point.
| Cabinet size | Suggested kit |
|---|---|
| 20L to 30L | 1 to 2 camera bodies and 3 to 5 lenses |
| 40L to 50L | 3 to 5 bodies and 7 to 10 lenses |
| 70L | 5 to 8 bodies and 10 to 15 lenses |
| 100L to 120L | 8 to 12 bodies and 15 to 20 lenses |
| 160L | 12 or more bodies and 20 or more lenses |
Treat these as a guide, then add headroom. Telephoto lenses and bodies with grips take more space than a standard count suggests, and kits tend to grow. If you are between two sizes, the larger cabinet usually saves you from buying twice.
- Hobbyist or one-body shooter: the 20L to 30L cabinets cover a small kit.
- Working wedding or event photographer: look at the 40L to 70L range.
- Rental house or studio: the 100L to 160L cabinets, including the dual-compartment MRD-188T, suit a larger inventory.
- Carrying kit to the shoot: pick the Kevlon backpack for hands-free travel with a laptop, or a rolling case for heavy loads you move through airports.
Choosing the bag
The backpack and the rolling case solve different problems. Kevlon backpacks are for people who walk: a modular padded interior, a laptop compartment, a tablet pocket, side compartments for small items, memory card slots and a tripod mount. A rolling case is for people who move gear between locations and cannot carry the weight on their back. The shoulder bags suit a light kit and fast access, such as one body and two or three lenses for a day of events. Match the bag to how you travel, and the choice becomes obvious.
What to check before buying
- Measure your biggest lens. Capacity in litres does not tell you whether a long lens with its hood fits upright or on its side. Share the dimensions with us.
- Choose the display. The range offers LED or touchscreen options, so confirm which one the model you want carries.
- Check the power point. Dry cabinets draw very little power at 5W as listed, but they should be on a steady supply, since they work around the clock.
- Backpack fit. The Kevlon backpacks list a laptop compartment up to 15.6 inches, so check your laptop and your tripod before you buy.
- Model listing. The brand page and its FAQ do not match perfectly on a few models, such as MRD-30W and MRD-128. Ask us to confirm current availability of the exact model.
A note on storage habits
Buying the cabinet is half the job. Put lenses in with caps on, keep the door closed as much as you can, and leave the cabinet powered on, since it works continuously rather than in bursts. Retired or rarely used lenses benefit most, because they sit unused for weeks while humidity does its work. If you are running a rental inventory, give each size of lens a fixed home so staff do not leave the door open while searching.
