Ewa-Marine VC-EX3 Rain Cape

On January 30th 2009, Ewa-Marine introduced the new VEX3 underwater housing for the SONY PMW-EX3 digital camcorder. This has been a popular housing and has been difficult to obtain in the USA since the demand for this case has far exceeded the supply.

The Ewa company also launched another product to offer Sony PMW-EX3 owners more options in protecting their valuable video cameras. So they designed a special rain cape / hurricane hood which is designated as the VC-EX3 and has been added to their line-up of camcorder rain capes.

The VC-EX3 rain cape is manufactured from Ewa-Marine's patented triple laminated PVC and has an integrated, optically neutral, flat glass lens port.

You fix the camcorder in the rain cape by attaching the CAF adapter to the lens. The camcorder is then fitted into the front port. This system mates the rain cape to the camcorder and keeps the front port in front of the lens, like having an optional clear filter.

Your video camcorder can be used on a tripod while it is under the rain cape and allows the use of your hands to make any needed adjustments.

You can be close the bottom of VC-EX3 rain cape with snaps / press-studs which are located along the bottom.

The VC-EX3 rain cape's dimensions are as follows:
