Prashantt Rai Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hi there everyone, Greetings! Looking for inputs from senior and experienced Cinematographers as to how best to water proof a camera and the lens. The camera in question is an SR3 to be used for prolonged use at sea, but certainly not underwater. Is a splash bag good enough? how do you cover the lens front element from salt? regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom Jaeger Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 If it's not being submerged a splash bag should be enough. The lens would normally be protected inside the splash bag with a window to see through. Something like Rain-x helps keep water drops off.

Prashantt Rai Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Dom, thanks for the reply. I have never had the need so far to use a splash bag. So i don't know much about it. The splash bag will be able to accommodate an 8mm and 11-110 zeiss zoom? how big is the window? does it have a glass port? I will google rain-x. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
