PortaBrace RS-AMIRA-SB Rain Slicker for ARRI AMIRAprovides added protection for your camera during inclement weather. This model is made to fit the ARRI AMIRA. Manufactured from waterproof Taslan nylon material that has a soft Tricot interior layer, the Rain Slicker not only protects the camera, but also reduces the noise caused by rain impact on the outside. While being waterproof, the protective material is also breathable, allowing heat from the camera to escape and preventing possible overheating.

Clear vinyl windows provide unimpeded visual to integral camera controls and monitors, while hook-and-loop secured openings provide access to them, as well as the power supply. For protecting the lens, an adjustable lens gasket creates a tight seal. It works with a wide range of lens types, including cinema lenses, and allows for the use of an attached matte box. The waterproof material which covers the lens is also adjustable to accommodate different lens lengths.

For adding protection with different setups, two modules are included for customizing this Rain Slicker. The RS-TB top-mounted monitor/light cover brings added protection to a camera-mounted light or monitor. The entire module is constructed from clear vinyl that does not interfere with light or monitor functionality. The second module, the RS-TS, is a tripod mounting skirt that protects the camera from splashes while mounted on a tripod. It is made from the same Taslan nylon as the Rain Slicker.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. will this rain slicker cover Sony FS-7 with Sony extension mount with Anton Bauer Battery & Lectro Wireless receiver ?

A: According to images provided by Porta Brace, the RS-FS7 Rain Slicker can accommodate the camera with the Sony XDCA-FS7 Extension Unit plus a V mount battery. If you wish to usea Anton Bauer 3 pin Gold Mount, you would need a 15mm rod system with cheese plate to hold a Anton Bauer battery adapter. You could use a kit such as the Wooden Camera Sony FS7 Pro Accessory Kit B&H # WOWC185000 and Wooden Camera Gold Mount Battery Plate B&H # WOWC194300; both will be available soon. There should be no problem with that configuration with the slicker.Finally, you should have no issue with a mic receiver hung on the side or the front handle.

Q: 2. Does this cover the lens?

A: Yes it does. Here is a photo that shows how a lens will sit in this casing. https://bit.ly/2vnz9Yq

Q: 3. Can someone please clarify and confirm that this will indeed fit the FS7 M1? No mention of it in the description is concerning. Cheers

A: It will fit the FS7 M1, since the M1 and M2 are identical in size.

Q: 4. Does this have a built in VCT wedge on the bottom?

A: No, one is not defined explicitly for this model.

Q: 5. What balance plate model number is compatible with the top of this unit?

A: The ARRI CBP-4 Compact Bridge Plate for AMIRA (15mm Studio/15mm LWS) (B&H# ARK2.0019582) does not require a balance plate in order to be used with the ARRI AMIRA Camera Set with Advanced License - The Allrounder (B&H# ARK0.0001091), but it may be attached to a balance plate (which is essentially a cheese plate with very many female threads, i.e. taps, in it) in many places. The two (bridge and balance plates) are typically compatible with each other as long as the balance plate is one made for the specific camera model. However, as of this time (April 2022) B&H does not sell such a plate, nor are we aware of any that is available. That is likely because the AMIRA actually balances very well without one when a typical V-mount or Gold mount battery is installed behind it.

Q: 6. two things --the picture shows a different camera than the PMW FS7 ?are there pics of the PMWFS7 with the rain cover?will it fit an FS7 with the extension unit and v-lock battery & radio mic?

A: The images have been updated. They show the FS7 with a V lock battery. There should be plenty of room for a radio mic.

Q: 7. Is it correct that the Arri Alexa LF and LF Mini do not require modification by Arri to install this mount, and it can be easily swapped with the LPL mount?

A: From the Leitz Website: FOR ARRI ALEXA Mini LF Just swap the ARRI LPL-Mount to the Leitz M-MOUNT for ARRI ALEXA Mini LF, Mini and AMIRA (later Leitz MMOUNT) and you are ready to roll. No other modification on the camera needed.

Q: 8. I have a shoot scheduled for the Fall in Alaska (Rainy weather). Will this raincover keep my FS7 dry through regular shoulder mounted use?

A: We shoot handheld in a lot of rainy weather and it works well. Porta Brace works better than the other rain covers available. It's not 100 percent rain tight but it will work better than anything you can find. Alaska is really wet. It should provide the best protection.

Q: 9. Does this work with the Arri Alexa LF?

A: Yes, the ARRI Alexa Mini LF uses the same LBUS protocol as the Alexa Mini.

Q: 10. Will this rain cover also cover the lens (for example the 18-110 kit lens)?-Brian

A: PortaBrace says it tightly fits the lens hood.
