Jared Polin, FroKnowsPhoto.Com and this is a quick tips for how to protect your camera
in the rain. We're not saying that you should always go shoot in the rain, but you have
to be prepared or you should be prepared for inclement weather, that means, if it's going
to rain or its dusty or its storming or its whatever ring out, any kind of precipitation
you want to protect yourself and you don't have to spend $200 to do this.
You could to get the professional version of protecting your camera, but when you've
got. Let's see $3,000 to when you have $5000 worth of gear, you may want to keep something
in your bag to protect your camera and you could do something like this.
This is a think-tank hydrophobia. There's a company called Aqua Tech that also makes
protection gear for the rain, you see guys on sidelines of football games, at sporting
events they use them simply, you put this on your camera you can look through the back
of it, its going to protect it in down pouring rain.
Now, it's not to prevent protect the front element, because you still need to shoot through
it, but this is a $200 option. This may not be for you. So, what can you use if you want
to do something less expensive? Well this isn't just a plastic bag. This is act - what
you say photic optech, this is made by Optech, this is called the rain sleeve by Optech.
Allen's camera carries these. They come in a two of them at a time. I think they are
like 6, 7, 8 bucks, but its plastic. You throw it in your bag just in case you need it.
I'll just show you how it works pretty simply. You slide your camera in here. Don't suffocate,
don't let kit suffocate in this. Actually they can't, because you can't really cut it
off, but anyway it has a drawstring on the end. You'd tighten this around your lens - boom!
And then you put whatever, I'm not gonna do, its like one hand. Alright, one hand tighten
it like that, then back here you have the eyepiece, you take your eye piece off the
camera and then attach it using this plastic.
See a plastic eyepiece then you can have both hands in it, one at the bottom, one here,
it's not the easiest thing in the world, but if you are stuck in the rain and you need
to protect your camera from inclement weather, this is an awesome option to have. It's inexpensive
for 5, 6 under 10 bucks you get two of these, you can reuse them, but even if you didn't
reuse them, you just use it. When you protect your camera and you got the shot that you
wanted, you may - you know this is a good thing. So, think about having one of these
in your bag at all time, whether it's an expensive one or 5, 6 dollar version, that's up to you.
That's a quick tip: how to protect your camera in the rain.
