Daniel Sherwin, the inventor of the rain deflector just returned back from NAB 2006 where he showcased the latest addition to his line of products. The RD210 is designed to be used on Field lenses. No longer will there be an excuse of raindrops blocking the shot at all those live outdoor events.
Six years ago we took a look at the baby brother of the RD210, the RD105 designed for ENG cameras
This is what Spintec say about it:
Now for the first time the producer, director and cameraman will be able to continue giving the viewer the illusion of being at the live event himself or herself. No water drop or snow flake will be able to break this link. A high speed rotating clear filter gives the cameraman a real time solution for shooting pictures in rain and snow without having to stop shooting and clean the lens of drops and accumulated snow.
The new and revolutionary Rain Deflectors come with matching camera rain cover and provide the ultimate protection for camera and optics.
The RD series have no gyro effect. This allows for smooth operating.
