  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Any suggestions for a rain cover or wetsuit? Thanks in advance!
 
I've been through all the rain covers, you name it, Portabrace, Petro, Kata, Rainsleeve, I owned it and never loved it.. its always a pain to put on and a pain to operate the camera.. But I did learned one trick while shooting on location on Survivor, this what I do.. just buy this emergency blanket:

and cut one 2x2 corner or whatever size, making sure to include one of grommets to hold some trick line, drape over camera. use trick line to tie around camera (and/or velcro tape)... the shiny metallic refective material will even protect the camera from dust and heat.. I love it and it's easy to pack and put on.. I know you don't use this in a monsoon (I wouldn't even use a real one in a monsoon), but it's good in many different scenarios... If it's good enough for NASA it's good enough for me..

Plastic body bag and cut to suit. Reds change in dimensions to much for a one size fits all.
