For what it is worth, (dont laugh too hard here)
My wife found a Doggie Rain Jacket at my local Marcs store, her idea was that it might fit over my HVX200. I laughed at the idea at first, I stopped laughing as I slipped it over the camera. It fit perfectly. The only thing missing was a hole for the mic mount, (I neatly cut the hole and sewed the edges up, Poof, Instant rain/Snow slicker for my camera.
It is (low key) dark blue nylon outside with a thin reflective silver stripe and a fake wool lining. (The wool actually keeps my hand warm and toasty too). There is plenty of slack to access the focus/zoom ring.
The hole Where your dog's head should go through actually fit snugly around my lens hood almost as if it were made for it. This particular jacket straps to the underside of your pet/camera instead of being closed around the belly and having sleeves for legs. Therefore it is open on the bottom which is perfect for accessing the controls and the obvious camera shoe mount. I sewed on a little excess material from another I bought to seal up the underside but for light duty weather-izing, three bucks just bought me a new Pet-a-Brace rain cover for my HVX200.
I sprayed the outside with some "Camp Dry" for extra security but it is water resistant to begin with. I just bought all the rest of them including a small one for my old Gl1. iM giving them out to my friends for belated xmas presents.
BTW.... The large size fit over my 5 inch Sony field monitor like it was made for it.
Size for the HVX is small to medium sized dog.....
Ok Ill stop, I just love a good deal that works.
