Abstract

This application relates to the improvement to the current state-of-the-art for weatherproofmg a camera or video recorder (or a cell phone having those functionalities). That allows an avid photographer to take their camera out into the rain and use all the controls through the skin, without the camera getting wet. (It is not submersion-proof, but for all practical purposes, it is waterproof.) It features plug-in covers for gaps, plus any or all of the below: Double layer (with ultra thin layer on inside and/ or also outside), Zip Lock features around the holes, Hot shoe drape over top of camera, or Finger Condom. Many other variations and extensions are also discussed in the specification and figures.
