Rain slicker suggestions?
After shooting an outdoor wedding saturday with intermittent rain, I vowed to stop procrastinating and get a rain cover. I need one for the H1 and one for the A1. On my H1, I have an Anton bauer dionic 90 on the gold mount in the rear, and I also keep a frezzi mini fill on the camera shoe mount. I keep the A1 pretty stock.
Has anyone found a rain cover that will work along with the stuff I have on my H1? The main differences between mine and a stock H1 are 1- The overall lenght due to the AB battery, and 2-the height and logistics of the Frezzi on top. It would be nice to find a cover where the Frezzi could be covered or uncovered. Thanks Bruce S. Yarock Yarock Video & Photography |

For light showers I carry a trash bag and a few rubber bands, and occasionally an umbrella.
For extended shooting in wind/rain etc. portabrace works fine - but takes a while to get on and off, and interferes with the mic. A matte box won't fit inside the portabrace - but a french flag mounted to the lens hood will help keep rain off the surface of the lens. |

thanks, Peter. I had left my trash bags in the car, not expecting rain...i see that Kata makes one that lets you also partially cover a fill light.

I use the Kata raincover for the XL. Works fine for me! But I agree that a trash bag works fine as well.
