I'm looking into protection options for my flashguns. Wet hands of helpers mainly, but also for use in and around water. I currently use zip lock bags to give some handling protection, but this still allows people to accidentally press the buttons and change modes. Not ideal when dangling somewhere.
Thinking out of the box (hehe), I've spotted a spaghetti tupperware box in asda that looks ok, although a bit big.
Then I came across these. The kind of telescopic box you get hilti drill bits or big milling cutters in :
I think the 77mm one would take either a Yonguno cheap flash or a godox ad 200 pro (just). You would probably need to tape up the sliding joint with duct tape once you'd turned it on, but that should give a pretty good level of ingress protection.
They are pretty cheap (£2) and almost disposable but there is a large-ish minimum order quantity (115 pieces). Not ridiculous compared to the price of a decent strobe.
Anyone used these? Or found anything similar?
If I ordered some and they work, does anyone want some?
