It’s raining, it’s pouring, your lead actor is snoring… in the toasty-dry holding area, while you and the rest of the camera crew wait out the storm in the not-so-great outdoors. Or perhaps your director has decided that their scene would just be so much more emotionally engaging if shot in a downpour and the dreaded rain machine is making its ominous appearance. Here we outline several solutions for keeping your video or film equipment dry in spring showers or heavier precipitation.

When dealing with intermittent or soft rain, inexpensive options include this two-pack of Ruggard Rain Covers, which, although designed for a DSLR with a flash unit, will fit a DSLR, mirrorless, or small cine-style camera. You can tuck the upper sleeve over a small onboard monitor or another accessory instead of a flash unit. Camera and bag covers come in an array of styles and affordability, letting you choose the level of protection you need. You can also use a clear glass filter like this Schneider 4 x 5.65" Optical Flat in a matte box to protect the front of your lens from rain or water spray while preserving your image, without distortion.
