Bag manufacturer Petrol had some great looking rain covers for DSLR, camcorders and audio recorders on show at NAB. The unique feature of these DSLR and camcorder covers is the hotshoe mount on top which allows you to add lights and other accessories while the camera is still protected from the rain. These covers should be really useful to news shooters – hopefully we’ll be able to review one soon.
