I've got that for my Red One MX and it's fantastic as we're always exposed to water and salt, it's doing a great job protecting the camera while we're shooting:

Is anything like this coming or already out for the Epic?
I'd really like to protect this camera as much as possible. Our Red One MX shot in some really extreme condition and still looks like brand new...
 
Your link is not working Vincent.

Weird Sam, it's working from my computer or my iPhone.
The product I've mentioned is the Element Technica Raincover kit.
 
Although the raincover for the Red One will work with Epic depending upon its configuration (works will with a larger cinema style configuration), I am working on a new version of the Red One cover that is smaller and more geared toward Epic. It's going to be tough to make something that everyone will like though. The Red One cover was a much easier design for me since there was a pretty standard configuration (mostly with ET accessories) for a large percentage of Red One users. However, there seems to be a huge number of configurations for Epic already. I will probably make a smaller cover for use with minimal accessories, and a larger cover for a larger cinema configuration.

I freely confess I've shamelessly used my ET rain cover as a pattern for my own camera cover. It isn't rainproof, but it is aluminized and heat resistant :-)

It's been a couple of months now and wondering if anyone has one out on the market yet? Really looking forward to getting some snow shots at 300fps here in Green Bay this winter.
 
Will be in stock at ET by next week. I made a new edition of the red one cover that has an additional access point for the evf, and air inlets for attaching air tank hoses if heat build up is an issue. Its also made of a new pvc free fabric that is more durable in extreme temps and even better for the enviornment. Its the same size as the red one cover as I made it for the larger Epic configurations Ive seen out there for Tv and films.

So these are made to fit Epic/Scarlet? How would it fit if your doing a pretty limited Scarlet setup? Does it help hold some warmth in as well? I shoot in the cold quite a bit and haven't really seen anything else about this or a product like this anywhere for Epic/Scarlet.
