Kata DVG-59 camera glove for EX3
Kata have finally released the DVG-59 for the EX3. It is a semi moulded camera glove that is a snug fit on the EX3. I have a pre-production one and it's really good. It's not a substitute for a full rain cover but certainly protects the camera from occasional splashes, dust and knocks and bumps. I know several DVINFO members have asked where I got mine so here at last is the link..

Alistar, is the viewfinder cover part of the kit as well?
|
Page 144 of the Sony EX3 manual: "Do not cover the unit while operating. Putting a cloth, for example, over the unit can cause excessive internal heat build up."
|
Like Charles, the potential heat problem was my first thought. Difficult to tell from the photos if they have left places for sufficient heat dissipation.
|
The viewfinder cover is part of the kit. I have used the cover in hot deserts and in arctic cold. It stays on the camera most of the time and I have never experienced any heat issues.
|
Is there anything like this for EX1?
I'm loooking for this since a long time... |
I have seen a Kata EX1 prototype but as far as I know it's not in production yet.
|
Any idea how this compares to the PortaBrace offerings? (I see they have a model they say works with the EX1 too)
