The Petrol PR405 Deca Transparent Raincover (Black) is a one-piece design cover made to protect various Mini DV or HDV camcorders such as; Panasonic AG-HM45 or JVC GY-HM100 from extreme and adverse weather conditions. It is made from TPU (Transparent Polyurethane) for maximum visibility and waterproof nylon. Front cover section with microphone sleeve of ripstop fabric attaches to cover via 2 waterproof zippers for extra weather protection. There is an exterior 6.0" ABS plastic track that allows the addition of on-camera mini light and/or a wireless receiver and a special waterproof zipper on the cover's viewfinder protector.
The Deca Raincover offers quick and easy access to all the camera/camcorder features and the ability to work with the camera's flip-out LCD screen while fully open. A hot shoe connector in the rigid front hood section anchors and stabilizes the cover on camera. At the rear, a tight auxiliary cord anchors cover around and protects the camera's viewfinder.

Comments about Petrol PR405 Deca Transparent Raincover:
I bought this camcorder to fit a Canon XA10 camcorder. Seems to do the job well despite the camcorder being a tad bit small for this cover.
Keeps camcorder nice and dry. There is no cover over the front lens though, for lens protection might be a good idea to get a UV filter.
Also a sileca gel pack couldn't hurt, I had inside the cover start to fog up once.
Stays on secure and sturdy with the shoe adapter and rolls up nicely for transport. Feels well made.
