As with many working professionals, I really like Porta Brace products. Yes, they're pricey, but they're tough, designed well, and they last!
Having said that, I'm only semi-excited about this rain cover. We have both the Panasonic AG-HVX200 and 170, and it works on both. I really like the rubber lining that fits around the lens hood, makes it nice and snug. However, the velcro in this area just barely closes, and I would have liked to see a better fit.
Otherwise, the cover fits nicely on these cameras. There is adequate space on either side to insert your hand and adjust settings and whatnot. However, do not expect to shoot under this cover with the LCD screen flipped out (but there is enough room to open it a bit to flip switches).

The only complaint I have is I can't view LCD screen with Slick on.
Otherwise it does what it says.

Comments about Porta Brace QS-M4 Quick Slick Mini Rain Cover for Panasonic AG-DVX100 or AG-DVC80 Camcorders:
This simple and lightweight video camera raincover provides quick protection for your DV camera in the event of sudden weather changes. It's large poly window provides a clear view of all camera controls and LCD Fold-out screen.
The only con is that it is a generic, one-size-fits-all rain cover so depending on your particular camera, it may bunch up or not fit as perfectly as a Porta Brace rain cover made specifically for your camera.
I also prefer the plain black material over the older, standard issue Porta Brace blue cordura.

Comments about Porta Brace QS-M4 Quick Slick Mini Rain Cover for Panasonic AG-DVX100 or AG-DVC80 Camcorders:
as a freelance sports videographer I often find myself shooting outside in not so ideal weather. I also shoot a fishing show on the beach and find this product protects my camera quite well from sand and wind. it goes on in seconds and keeps my camera dry why shooting in the rain. the big plastic window allows me to see all my controls while shooting. i would deff recommend this product. for cost effective rain/wind protection.

Comments about Porta Brace QS-M4 Quick Slick Mini Rain Cover for Panasonic AG-DVX100 or AG-DVC80 Camcorders:
I use this for my Sony V1U and it works fine. Any Rain Cover will make it a little harder to control the functions of the camera but overall this cover works great and keeps the rain off while not interfering with what you're shooting.

Comments about Porta Brace QS-M4 Quick Slick Mini Rain Cover for Panasonic AG-DVX100 or AG-DVC80 Camcorders:
This cover is excellent. I film action sports and often times I am out in snow while it is dumping powder... like this day [@] The Porta Brace is light enough to carry in my backpack out in the woods and is super quick to put onto my camera (I use it with a Panasonic HPX-170). Its definitely worth purchasing because you never know when the weather will take a turn for the worse!

If it's getting bad out it goes on in a flash. Don;t expect it to keep your deal dry for an hour in a monsoon though. That's not what this is for.

Comments about Porta Brace QS-M4 Quick Slick Mini Rain Cover for Panasonic AG-DVX100 or AG-DVC80 Camcorders:
I've seen two types of users over my nearly 40 years in the production business. Those who care for their gear and those who don't. I've never understood the latter, because we all know how much we rely on our gear to deliver quality service to our clients.
Including this Rain Cover in the Porta Brace case kit I bought was a good way to protect my PMW-EX1. You never know what you will encounter on location. It slips on quickly (with a little practice) and I could keep shooting even when the conditions threatened to go south on me.

Comments about Porta Brace QS-M4 Quick Slick Mini Rain Cover for Panasonic AG-DVX100 or AG-DVC80 Camcorders:
Great rain slicker. Would say that for the HDR-FX7, the slicker is a bit bigger than the camera. The HDR-FX7 camera is just a few short of the slicker itself, but still does work great! I would recommend this.
