Check this out: body armor for your expensive DSLR, or in the case below for the D300:
Niftly called ‘Camera Armor’, the manufacturer’s blib states that:
“Custom Engineered for the Nikon D300, Camera Armor is an always on, protection system consisting of 6 parts: An elastomeric silicone Body Armor and Baseplate, a tripod socket extender (to be used with the baseplate), a Lens Armor, a Lens Cap Lanyard and a Polycarbonate LCD Shield.”
No mention of the additional weight it’ll incur though. But it sure looks futuristic, though I think if I ever got something like this I’d be tempted to drop my D300 just to see if the armor protection is actually equivalent to the –10 (pre 3rd edition rules)! A pity though that the protection doesn’t seem for weather and rain.
Interesting discussion on camera protection here too.:)
