Rain covers for the FS100?

[David G. Smith]

With the modular nature of the FS100, what are other folks doing for a rain cover on this camera? Are you modifying gear from other cameras or is it garbage bags and gaff tape? Any pics would be cool. Thanks.

I've been using a backpack rain cover, and it actually works well. I am able to wrap the camera up pretty good and still have access to the functions.

Since I have that "exo-skelleton" cage, I wanted something that covers the whole shebang plus the monitor.

I ended up buying some waterproof clothe bags and shoe bags and heavy duty clear plastic sheets.
Than I made a pattern and talked the wife into sewing everything together.

Came out quite well. So far I´m really happy with it, especially for just 10 bucks and some sweet talk to the wive. :happy:

Ah very nice thanks fellas. That beats garbage bags and gaff tape!

I was just wondering this myself.....I had to use the garbage bag and tape thing for a shoot a couple days ago, and since it pretty much rains constantly where I live, I was interested in finding anything that might work and not make me look like a total hack in front of clients.

I have an OpTech Rain sleeve which looks like it might cover the whole thing with some items rigged up, but I'm not sure. I like Frank's setup better.
