Do not think of filming in the Sahara Desert without one. This cover saved my Sony PDW530 XDCAM from certain damage in this extremely hot and dusty environment. The reflective material helped to keep the camera cool enough to operate within the manufacturers recommended temperature range. Together with "desert-proofing" the camera with tape, this cover kept most dust away from the camera. Thanks Portabrace for a well designed and well crafted camera cover.

How to protect your broadcast camera in hot and dusty environments The answer lies in the CWC-2 Cool Shoulder Case from Porta-Brace. This innovative camera case is specifically designed to keep your camera cool and dust-free, even in the harshest climates.
The case's cool white cover is crafted from a comfortable, breathable fabric that is perfect for long shooting days. Its reflective white fabric is a key feature, designed to shield your camera from the sun's direct rays, preventing heat absorption and maintaining optimal operating temperatures.
The CWC-2 Cool Shoulder Case also incorporates special "stand-off's" that create an air space just behind the zoom control. This ingenious design aids in air circulation, helping to prevent heat build-up and ensuring your camera performs at its best.
To further enhance its cooling capabilities, the case features pockets designed to hold medical cool packs. These provide an instant blast of coolness, further protecting your camera from overheating.
But it's not just about keeping your camera cool. The CWC-2 Cool Shoulder Case also includes flaps and mesh panels that promote air movement, as well as a neoprene seal along the square lens shade. This seal is crucial in keeping out sand and dust, making this case an excellent choice for filming in desert environments.
This versatile case accommodates a wide range of camera models, including but not limited to Ikegami, Panasonic, and Sony models. Whether you're using an Ikegami DNS-201, a Panasonic AJ-D610, or a Sony BVW-200, this case is designed to fit your camera perfectly, providing the ultimate in protection and convenience.
In summary, the CWC-2 Cool Shoulder Case from Porta-Brace is a must-have accessory for any broadcast camera user. Its innovative design and high-quality materials offer superior protection from heat and dust, ensuring your camera operates at peak performance, no matter the environment.
