|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Remote camera protection? John Vanacore, Photographer North Haven | CT | | Posted: 1:53 PM on 06.11.09 ->> Hello all, I'm writing to find out what others use as protective enclosures for remote cameras at sports venues. When a camera is placed in or near a goal, ontop of the glass behind the goal, does anyone use any kind of protective enclosure? or case? if so, which type? I'll be doing a baseball tournament, and would like to use a remote inside the backstop, shooting down the 3rd base line including home. I'm concerned about foul balls striking and destryoing my camera and lens. Thanks in advance for any input.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

You could probably do the same, or just make some sort of box to protect it from foul balls. I've also seen the use of Pelican cases for remote protection.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

If you have the fabricator do the bending for you and do your own drilling they're not that expensive. I can look up the invoice if you need a contact. The company was in northern Mass., 2 week turn around, they have to 'dry' the Lexan so that they can bend it without bubbles forming in the plastic, the first 1/2" sheet they bent had all kinds of bubbles in the bend. A 12"x24" sheet bent in half to produce a 1x1 foot L was somewhere in the neighborhood of $90. I went large after a conversation with Yamil got me thinking of 'other' applications.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
