The rain cape VC-FX is specially developed for cameras like the camcorder Sony HDR-FX1 and Sony HVR-Z1. But it fits also cameras which have the same shape and size. The VC-FX rain cape is manufactured from special PVC and has an integrated, optically neutral flat glass port. The camera is attached to the front port, by means of an ewa-marine C-A52 adapter. This patented system attaches the cape to the camcorder and holds the front port in front of the lens like an optional, clear filter. The camera can still be used on a tripod while it is under the rain cape. The VC-FX can be closed by means of press-studs at the bottom.
