njskierbrig Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 i have been thinking about using my camera out on the mountain. What should i do to help protect it from snow, cold, or anything else that can happen out on the mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I carry my point and shoot in a goggles bag. It's provides a little additional protection against wetness and I can clean the lens with the bag. I just put it in my chest pocket on my jacket. No problems yet except for poor battery life in the cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick malozzi Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I just keep my point in one of the pockets up near my chest so i can get it out easily. I used to take my SLR out, but at that point it was in a Pelican air tight/shockproof case in a backpack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Camelback ski area. Clearly you need a local to show you the back bowls and hidden glades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xNick11 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Just get a nice photo/video bag for your gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibhusky Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I just keep mine in my fanny pack and a spare battery in an inside pocket. The camera has a protective case, so putting it in my pocket would be a bit too bulky. It's a Canon Elph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daver Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) That picture is AWESOME! I never saw the one of Sam either, also a cool pic. Winter is here, ready to get heady? There was enough snow the other night to bomb drop off the balcony - Edited November 12, 2008 by daver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saurus Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 When i shoot with my digital slr i will either walk up the mtn or take the lift and walk down. This way its safer so i dont drop it or get it wet or even break it. You should also get a uv lense filter that will protect your lense and help out when taking pics in the snow. But if you want to ride down with your camera make sure you have it in a camera bag and its not over your shoulder or near your stomach cause you dont want to go around body slamming it.

Whatever though, as long as I'm riding everyday I don't really care that much about the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

method9455 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 thanks for all the info Picking the right pocket helps. I have an inside pocket of my jacket that I rarely fall on so it works a lot better than keeping it in my pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
