Rain Cover for XL2 w/FU-1000
 

Could anyone recommend a good raincover for an XL2 equipped with a FU-1000 viewfinder? Until recently, I shot with a XL1s, thus I have a KATA raincover that was meant for a XL1s. When I put the FU on the XL1s, the raincover fit awkwardly, and now that I have the XL2 with the FU on it, the raincover leaves the back end of the camera, including the XLR ports completely exposed. Having searched a little on the internet, it seems that most raincovers are either too small, or meant for a beta cam. Any suggestions?

Dan,
See if this is what you are looking for.

Hi Alex, thanks for the link. It's good to know someone is reading my stuff. (grin)

The cover will fit with the FU-1000 on the camera but it's a bit of a struggle. Fortunately, as stated in the review, there is a lot of extra room at the back so this cover won't leave any parts exposed. But yes, I did use it on my XL2 with the FU-1000 mounted on it.

Dan, I bought the Kata RC-10 Pro Rain Cover from B&H to use with my XL2, see link:

You got plenty of space inside with this, no problems with the FU-1000.
