I have a shoot at 7:30 am but it won't rain until around 12 pm.  The build could go all the way to 3 pm in which it will most likely rain.  I was thinking of sandwiching the umbrella on my backpack and me while I get some shots.  I don't need much but I need enough to make say a 3-minute video from start to finish.  If it gets wet a bit, is it ok?  I know DJI designs their quad motors to operate when wet w/o issue but are the gimbals the same design?

If worse comes to worst I will need a big transparent plastic bag to make a hole to film a bit in the open.

I'm going to use a 54 or 56" umbrella on my elbow/chest to see.

It didn't rain as they finished early and the weather got pushed and didn't rain until after.  I got great footage.

Hi AntDX316, glad to know you have finished the shoot. Ronin-S's power/data ports are not waterproof, please be sure to protect them from water. Please keep us updated if you have any further concerns.

Do you have a cover for the right side then?

Unfortunately, we do not have the cover or something like that to protect it, it would be better to avoid shooting in the rain.

Maybe you should a waterproof backpack. The leather and the zipper both are waterproof, but it is for Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom.

I have the covers for them.  I don't film in the wet.
