Rainy Days - We got you covered!

One thing that is hard to predict is the weather. Remember, water and condensation don't mix well with most video cameras. Therefore, it never hurts to be prepared for when the rain strikes.

On way to be prepared is by using the weather-proof Sony HXR-NX70U video camera. To make this camera weatherproof the handle with the XLR ports are detached and the camera can withstand the rain and dust. This rugged little trouper is the perfect companion for those tough location shoots where weather and climate cause lesser cameras to buckle and fold. Meeting stringent dustproof and rainproof requirements, the NX70U's sealed body keeps out all but the toughest of elements, making it ideal for outdoorsmen and hunters.
