Basically what the title says.

I own an EX1 with a Letus Ultimate attached (in snorkel down position).

What do you guys use to keep it safe in dusty rainy enviroments. I'm not concerced for the camera as much as i'm for not getting dust inside the adapter.

Are there any products specifically designed for cameras with 35mm adapters attached. So far I found this http://www.portabrace.com/productA-CBA-EX1# and the EX1 protector from Petrol...but I'm not sure if these would even fit properly with an adaptor attached.

So any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

For my EX1 Letus Extreme I use the KATA HB 207. fits in nice with adapter and rails still attached. Comes with a rain cover too.

EDIT: Sorry, I misunderstood the question. Thought you meant protection for travelling through rainy/dusty conditions.

Im thinking one of the large 2/3" shoulder mount cam raincovers would work for you. Whats your cam length with everything on it and Ill measure up the two I have and tell you size wise.

I always thought that if I needed to protect it from rain/dust, I would purchase one of these.

But honestly, I just try not to put my equipment in those situations. I'm lucky to have that luxury. If I didn't, I would buy a cover. Good luck! :)
