The CRC-12 Compact Rain Cover is fabricated from waterproof nylon material and crystal clear TPU panels on the camera's control side. It is tailored to fit the Sony EX3, Canon XL HD1 and similar models featuring a unique viewfinder sleeve which also allows use when it is flipped open to use the LCD screen. The cover slips quickly over the camera to protect it from sudden showers and is secured by a quick pull of drawstrings. Kata rain covers are tested in a weather laboratory and successfully protected equipment during severe weather conditions.
