I added new footage to this from an actual legit rainstorm. I was outside for about 10 minutes before I started shivering and getting scared that water would make it through the bags to my camera. My camera did fine though and the footage of rain is cool

Recently I went outside right after it rained because I remembered seeing some other SGpro user's footage from after rain and it always had a cool look to it. I liked the footage I got (everything until 1:15), so I went ahead and wrapped my set up in bags and rubber bands the next day to shoot while it was raining.
This was my first version, which I tore off in a violent rage when my camera fell off the side of my bed onto the floor. My Nikon lens took the impact I think, I can't do smooth focuses anymore.
I wrapped it up a second time with 3 black trash bags. I took a school folder and rubber banded it to the handle of the SGpro so it hung up and out over the lens sort of like the top of a matte box. I covered it with a black bag so i could reach my lens from under neath, but keep the rain from hitting the front end of everything.
I used another back on the back tightly wrapped around the camera and battery, and I cut the last bag so it was real big and draped it over the whole thing which helped with rain landing on top of the camera. It just rolled off the sides.
Unfortunately by the time I made it outside, it was barely raining, but now I know how to put it on next time.
This is not really that impressive since there is not much rain, but in the shots of the Infiniti car's rear end, and the leaves right after, you can see some mist like rain.

No music, sorry.
