Rain Cover

[Darius Lyles]

I sometimes shoot Football and others sports outside making mini docs and promos. I was wondering if there are any dedicated rain covers for RED cameras and if not what do you guys use?

but i normally just wrap a poncho around the camera and gaff tape it shut.. not pretty but works

A few years back, right after I got my Scarlet, someone posted about a women in NY who makes rain covers and I bought one. (Maybe someone can chime in with her name as I do forget what it is). I think I paid about $250.

I have never had the cover in the camera so I couldn't really testify for the effectiveness but it does seem to be good quality.

Thanks for the response fellas, looks like I am going to have drop 250 to 300 for one. Which beats replacing 10k worth of camera lol

It was called Ombre US, I got one too

Terry is remembering Elaine Fasula who has been working covers for cinema gear for many years. Check out her website at Ombre.us


Exceptional quality.
I would consider selling mine as I've moved onto different needs with the Weapon configuration.

She also made a number of MacBook Pro cases - really fantastic custom work.

Yep - thanks, guys.

Darius - if you like what she makes I'd be willing to part with mine for exactly half of her price (whatever that currently is), assuming she still makes the same style/model.

PM me if interested.

Thanks Terry! I will definitely take you up on that.
