J-Rod dual replacement hot-shoe mount plus rubber-band shock mount have now arrived.
Portabrace Rainslicker cover now fits even better and goes on quicker. Addition of sleeve from another cover I have takes care of the onboard mic. Bang on cue, today I have 4 inches of rainfall and 70mph gusts to go test it in! - x j w |
Thats great John! I'm still waiting for mine! :( Told you it'd work :)

Just back in the door from 2 1/2 hours shooting floods and raging rivers.
Boy, that was wet and windy - soaked 2 teatowels just drying the UV filter and eyepiece. The camera? BONE DRY! Portabrace RS-EX3 is definitely up to Scottish weather. Minor niggle: Jeff's shock mount is slightly too small for the shoe and worked itself loose after a while. I was rumbling around a lot though. Thanks, everyone, for all the advice. JW |
There you go! What did I tell you! :) Isle of Man weather is worse than Scottish weather laddie!
My items arrived from Jeff this morning. Yes that Shock mount isn't as snug as I'd like but its miles better than the Rode one that I own. Maybe a spot of blu-tak will solve the problem. The J-Rod Dual Cold Shoe is just the trick! Glad your camera stayed dry! |

Really? Even with you guys hiding behind Eire from all that Atlantic unpleasantness? Glad your gear arrived, finally. IOM postal communications obviously worse that Scottish. Meant to ask, did you get my PM last weekend? Maybe your server greylisted me. Irrelevant now - was asking how long you'd been waiting on your J-Rod kit. JW |
No didn't get that PM?
The postal service over here is usually pretty good, I think it got held up in the UK :) The Eire offers no protection!!! Really!!! |

The EX-3 gets rather hot so needs to have some form of ventilation Dave :) Make shifts is what wildlife filmming is all about. The Beeb do it all the time.
