Interesting read - 500 shooter for ESPN

Sounds a lot like the kind of stuff I shoot, only on my HVX. Does make me twitchy for an HPX500, though.

Hi Stephen,
Do you actually shoot out on the water? And if so, do those rain covers adequately protect your camera?

I did a job in Daytona last year out on the water from a high speed chase boat and the salt mist covered everything. I did have Petrol rain jackets over the cameras, but I have to wonder how much of that salt mist made its way past the protective covering and into the cameras.
 
Yeah, I shoot quite a bit out on the water. The spray is a *****, to say the least. I used Kata's Rain Cover while shooting, and I use anything I can find to cover the camera while the boat is moving at high speeds.
