Shooting in the sandy desert. Advice?

[Keith Van Orden]

Hey everyone!

We have a fashion shoot coming up next week that takes place in the Glamis county sand dunes. Naturally, our primary concern with the equipment is bits of sand getting into everything. Now, I know the Epic Dragon has a contained ventilation system that will prevent particles from reaching or interfering with the circuitry of the brain. But does anyone else have any helpful advice, tips, or experiences they would like to share?

Any knowledge would be greatly appreciated!

Don't leave the body cap off or change lenses when its blowing sand and you'll be fine. I've been shooting in the desert since I got my epic and i've never had a problem. Put it on adaptive fan setting so it can adjust to the heat.
