Camera Poncho

If you're looking for something to keep your camera dry on water rides and in rain, you could try the WillCAD Camera Poncho (patent pending). This is a self-service product, some assembly required. Instructions follow (click any pic for the full-size version):

Materials and tools required
  • 1-gallon Ziploc bag
  • Scissors
  • Camera

    • Step 1
    Cut approximately 1/2" of the bottom corners off the Ziploc

    Step 2
    Take strap off camera, put camera in bag, lens facing to bag zipper

    Step 3
    Feed strap connectors through clipped corners of Ziploc and re-connect to camera

    Step 4
    Seal bag and admire your cleverness

    Step 5 (optional)
    You can take a pic when your camera is inside the bag by opening the zipper. This may expose your lens to water and requires caution to keep the camera dry, but it can work. I have personally gotten a few pics in very heavy rain like this and kept the camera perfectly dry the entire time.
