Camera Cover

[Cheyan]

Does anyone know where I can get one of those plastic camera covers for when you go to the beach so the sand wont get in your camera or on your lens. I have no Idea where I can get one I am going to the beach soon. Thanks in advance for any Information.

That link was badly posted (Took me to microsoft website! wtf!) so here it is:

And can I just say - What a rip off!!!! $250 for that!!
Couldn't you just use a plastic bag and a rubber band? I mean you're only protecting it from a little bit of sand - it's not like you're gonna rub your camera in the sand and throw it in the ocean -- or are you?

Am I missing something very important here that deserves $250?

On the beach you’re mainly dealing with sea mist IMO, mostly I have seen these covers being used at outside sports like futebal, football and baseball in the rain


Also most of these big lens cost between 4k to 6k US dollars so a $250 lens cover is not that big deal.

Here are a couple cheaper options:

There use to be another one that was basicly a shower cap but that link isn't working anymore.
