Q: 5. Does this rain cover allow for the LCD on a Sony HVR-V1 to be used?

A: There is a clear plastic cover on the left side of the rain cover. I have a similar camcorder (HDR-FX7) and if I had used the LCD screen it would have been difficult to see it. I highly recommend the cover though. It has saved me more then a few times during rain and snow. The way the cover surrounds the eyepiece there is no chance of moisture getting to the body of the camcorder.

A: no unfortunately a rain cover or a snow cover are the only options
