Protecting my gear when I'm out and about
Summary: Mother Nature can be hard on electronic equipment, but with the right gear, you can take your tablet, smartphone, and camera into pretty much any environment and know it will live to fight another day.

There's nothing I like better than to take my camera outdoors and grab a shot of some ominous clouds, lightning, or other extremes that nature can throw at me. While I'm pretty waterproof, my camera isn't, so I have to make sure it is properly kitted for the adventure.
The best way I've found to do this is to give the camera its own raincoat in the form of a Storm Jacket. These come in a variety of types, sizes, and colors, so you will need to choose the one that suits your needs. Personally, I like the Pro version because it adds the ability to pop the camera onto a tripod.
These Storm Jackets might seem expensive — and they are a tad pricy in my opinion — but they do the job asked of them well, and in the long run, it's a small price to pay to prevent your camera from getting hosed.
