moisture (fog) and V-Raptor

[Trevor Cable]

Hello,
I was going to go out this early morning to shoot some B-roll and realized that I don't know if I should be shooting in fog. It's pretty dense and my jacket was getting covered in moisture fairly quickly. With these large fans on the V-Raptor I wasn't sure if this is a shooting environment I should avoid. I've never had issues in the past with other cameras but again they didn't have fans similar to the Raptor. Any thoughts from experienced Red users? This is my first Red camera and still learning. Thank you.

most cinema cameras should have the internal electronic components sealed from weather. the fans are typically just blowing on a thermal cooling unit, or a finned piece of metal like the ones you see on your computers CPU.
