thomas_kemper Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 <p>I have looked and looked out here! It seems that nobody makes a simple clip to hold the camera in the rain. Is it just that nobody shoots in the rain? Absurd! Certainly <em>somebody </em>has had this issue.</p><p>Any ideas?</p><p>Thanks.<br>Thomas</p><p>PS I have a GearBox P&C camera cage to attach accessories.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig_shearman1 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 <p>Look at Bogen/Manfrotto. They make a huge variety of clamps and clips. You would need something that attaches to the tripod screw on the bottom of the camera and then holds an umbrella-size shaft. Might take a couple of pieces joined together.<br /><br />If you're using one of those "cages" to attach accessories to a DSLR when shooting video, then you may already be halfway there. It probably has a threaded hole that a clamp could screw into and then you just put the umbrella in the clamp.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
