Filming in the rain?

What do you guys do when your hunting in the rain? i am kinda scared of getting a 700+ dollar camera setup wet! I know I know none of you guys are stupid enough to hunt in a downpour! But i do and am wanting ideas for keeping my gear dry and yet would like to be able to film as well if possible

 

I take a milk jug and cut the bottom off and cut a slit running down the side with a handle and put it over the camera and arm. This way I have room for my microphone that is on top too.

 

Good idea! Does it allow for filming while its on? Im not sure I fully understand the idea, mb snap a pic next time u use it for reference?

I don't hunt in the rain. If a slight sprinkle starts I through my ball cap over the camera. If it keeps up I pack up and go home. I also keep a trash bag in my pack in case serious rain suddenly moves in. No hunt is worth ruining a $3,000 camera rig.

 

If I do hunt in the rain, the camera stays in the truck..
Like DEC I keep a trash bag in my pack as well incase a storm pops up.

 

I also keep a trash bag in my pack in case it starts to rain. I used to have a Campbel's camera rain cover for my old XHA1s, but it was a PITA to use. I actually ordered some sil-nylon and accessories and plan on doing my best Betsy Ross impression this off-season, making a custom fitted rain cover for my rig. We'll see how it goes.

Also, if I know rain is in the forecast, I'll usually head for the ground blind.

 

Im kinda like you idea of the trash bag Skywalker

I took my camera this fall to Colorado on a back country elk hunt, I went to ****s and picked up a small dry bag. It's cheap and I think I could submerge the camera and it wouldn't get wet. The bag folds up small and i dont worry about tears or rips. I use a Canon XA 10

 

Sit in a ground blind

 

Fitz yea I'll be doing that some too

What's ur opinion on this camera arm guys?<br />http://m.gandermount...ls.cgi?i=428426<br />Is it worth 40 bucks? I checked at my local gander mtn and the construction seems fairly heavy however im not sure about it only being a 2 piece... most of the 3 piece ones I've found are well over $100

What are you using for a camera? That looks similar to the Pine Ridge Archery arm, and it's very shaky in my opinion.

 

I use a tree umbrella to keep the big off and had made a cover for the cam from material from a trashed ground blind. I steady drizzle yes, down pours no! It works great plus the tree umbrella keeps you dry to! Dosent seem to spook Deer!

 

Good to know, ill be doing the same in Colorado in 2016 I also have the Canon XA10

 

Canon Rebel T5i

Talked to a guy that has one of these arms and he likes it

I carry a bag with me large enough to cover my camera so if caught in the rain I can cover my investment. like others have said I avoid hunting in the rain if I can.
