Topic: Outdoor Rain Protection

[StuStu]

It looks like yellow helmet guy had to improv in the field with a stick and some duct tape for his antenna thingy. Duct tape...don't leave home without it.

If my wife found condoms in by gear, I'd have some serious explaining to do.

This Saturday
Outdoors
80% chance of rain
torn ligaments in right ankle
standing on crutches

and have to stealth!!

is it possible? any ideas on protecting not only me from getting shocked, but my equipment?

My $2 solution for open taping:

$2 umbrella from wally world... rip off the handle. clamp the shaft in my MPC10, clamp the MPC10 to my stand.

Dead center in this pic, with the albino rats. That's the only pic I have unfortunately.

Another cheap solution is to take a Saran Wrap and cover the connections on your mics (actives or full body) and then tape down the Saran Wrap, so no water can penetrate those connections.  You could also cover the part where your XLR connects to the body completely.   Then use your windscreens and slip them over the taped Saran Wrap section.     Beats the hell out of hearing rain drops on your tape from your $2 Wally World umbrella.   Same idea can be applied when you know your going to get dumped on during a snow storm
