Hello fellow people!

A while ago, I was looking for a good, cheap rain cover/slicker for my dvx. The Porta Brace is rather expensive. Are there any other good options for a lower price?:)
 
Here's an idea: Electrical tape!

"I wanted full control of the camera so I came up with a solution that I figure anybody can use, for any camera, in any dirty, dusty or wet environment. Its simple, its cheap, its easy to apply and remove, it leaves no residue, it's heat resistant, it's waterproof it's readily available - it's electricians tape. After months of research into specialist camera housings, specialist tapes and plastics we discovered that 4 inch wide rolls of high grade, PVC electricians tape, wrapped around the camera made it splashproof, virtually air tight and didn't drastically change the feel or shape of the camera."
