Raincover for NanoFlash?
Hi all,
We have a NanoFlash on the back of our EX3 (using an ST-7 adapter) and I'm thinking of getting the Kata Camera Glove for the EX3, but of course that would leave the NanoFlash exposed - anyone sourced a suitable 'jacket' for their NanoFlash? Doesn't need to be waterproof - just splashproof would do. All suggestions appreciated. Regards Dave |

From what I have read the nanoFLASH has been used in some pretty extreme environments and wonder if a cover is necessary. I think that so many access points would need to be incorporated into this design that it would actually defeat the intended purpose. Maybe a home brew waterproof sock-type cover would be the answer – easily removed to access the various points of the nanoFLASH.

Length of EX3/nano combo
Hi Anthony,
I'll try to check the exact length tomorrow, but it only just fits into a Kata CC197 bag which lists the internal length as 67cm. This includes a Vocas matte box on the front. It looks a bit odd on a wee tripod, but you get used to it pretty quick. Dave |

Low-Tech
After looking for a similar solution, I went a different route to protect my NanoFlash…
Ziploc baggies. |

ST-7 adapter
Quote:
It's also, however, a bit pricey and, when fully loaded with EX3, Matte box, ST-7, NanoFlash and V-Lok battery, a wee bit on the heavy side. If you're coming from a DSR then it's fine - you'll know that heavy is good for shoulder stability etc. If you're coming from a Z1, as some of our users will be, it's a bit of a shock!! Let's see how they get on!! Dave C |

Ziplok bags
Ha Ha guys - very good. Hadn't thought of that one.
I'm a bit worried that the whole contraption (EX3, matte box, ST-7, Nano, V-mount) looks a bit makeshift already, so adding a ziplok on the back is REALLY going to tip it over the edge!!! Still, necessity is the mother of invention, as they say. Cheers Dave C |

Dear Dave,
Unless you are going to be in direct sunlight for extended periods of time, a simple ziplock bag works great. You can monitor the internal temperature of the nanoFlash via the menu. But, this offers no protection from physical damage.

I have adapted a kind of Tupperware.
The nano is protected but can breath and I can monitor the screen. Rafael |
