I'm considering a trip to Thailand next month for the Songkran festival - where lots of people have a giant street party - and hundreds, if not thousands of people are armed with big blasting water pistols.
Now call me crazy (Most people do) - but I'd like to get into the crowds and shoot it with a 1dx2 and a 16-35 (possibly) for an up-close and personal record of the event.
The 1dx2 is vaguely weatherproof - but is in no way Songkran-proof - so wanting to know if anyone has experience of the waterproof protection options on the market - including the Dicapak case from South Korea (Silly name) - although this doesn't specifically list the 1d series - so I'm thinking it might not be big enough - or alternatively I've come across a company called Outex that provide customised rubber covers to seal out the elements. I'm certainly not in a position to get one of the ikelite cases that cost an arm and a leg just for a weekend event - but would certainly like to hear from anyone that has experience of either of these brands mentioned, or have an idea of other options that I might not have considered.
I have seen rain covers - but I don't think they'd be up to the job.
