Hey Omar, I work in the film industry in Vancouver. Or as it is known, Rain City. For professional weather cover on our super expensive cameras we use...large clear plastic garbage bags and freezer bags, and gorilla tape. Works well even in torrential rain. Good job!

I was shooting a baptism at the lake last summer and a rouge wave came and my XT 2 went completely under water (Lake Michigan). Works fine.... I reacted quickly and raised it out and pointed the lens down... Removed the battery, and placed in bag of rice overnight.

Try cling film. I also use a silicone skin which offers some protection.

Love it! Maybe you've talked about this somewhere already, but do you ever use a filter do protect the lens?

TWINSIES!! I used a freezer bag in Japan! My lens is a prime with Fuji WR so I just cut a hole for the lens to stick out of. Worked pretty well but I'm looking for another solution hehe

The cameras & lenses sent in most for repairs are those marketed as weather sealed/resistant. There's no such thing as a weather resistent camera no matter how much you pay for those $1 rubber gaskets.

I wonder why companies can't do some cases for bad weather? Olympus has transparent cases but for two of their cameras which are already weather sealed but not for an entry level camera like i have (EM10) - it would be great idea to buy a case for cheaper camera ;) i Had a Pentax camera before but is sold and bough smaller Olympus and one thing i miss is the weather sealing and as some of you know Pentax and his sealings are like tanks :)

Hey Omar, could you turn the bag around, cut a hole in the bottom of the bag and gaffa tape that to the lens hood, could you then put your hands inside the bag to access the controls, its hard form the video to judge the size of the bag, maybe you could peel the bag back to gain access to the battery and card slot, prototype 2 in the making good luck with that , great vids as always.

really miss my weather resistent, dust resistant fuji bridger ;--; its been a reliable companion for a decade in the toughest climes and wildest accidents. Its AF is getting tired though making crafty raptor shots far more difficult. Tried sending it in for repairs or a thorough cleaning but Fujifilm said there werent any parts to service it with anymore. I'll miss it dearly. Its not efficient or ideal to lug around umbrellas and multiple lenses in a lot of places. been hard finding a replacement. been looking up different "life hacks" like this instead XD

I never used zip bags, but "regular" ones. Personally, seeing how clumsy it is, I would cut the zip out and guffer tape the bag around the sun hood like I usually do...

Hi Omar! Of course the main problem is condensation as you know Omar, that's what can really damage your precious camera and or lens when you have been out in the very cold weather, I always put my camera back in to my Domke bag and let it acclimatize in the coolest part of your house before getting it out again at home, the reason I say the Domke bag is because those bags stay cool like forever man, and they really protect your gear!

My X-T20 started glitching out! The shutter started spazzing out and shiz, and then it came at me with this “turn off/on” message! I’m pretty sure it’s F$&@ed.. Good news: fuji is well known for their customer support 🤞 Also good news: I get to go back to my trusty DSLR for a couple weeks. 😒

Omar Gonzalez Photography It just started... Happening. I've definitely been putting the camera to good use. I've been testing out a 3rd party app a couple days ago, but I'm not sure what might have caused it. The shutter will fire, then starts the zombie shutter, and whammo! ERROR message, and repeat 🤕 Hold your X-T20's extra close tonight 😫
