Raincoat for the control head/screen ... ??

[Willee - Texas]

Is there a rain cover out yet for the V3 control head?

Will a DFX cover work?

I should have a custom built one on the way will let you know how it turns out.

If I remember correctly, the control pod/head is just as water resistant as a rain cover. I'm pretty sure I heard Carl say the the two parts of the pod have a rubber gasket between them, the touch pads are sealed and the screen cover does it's job well. It seems like the switch on the bottom even has a seal in it.

Hey Jason,
Didnt you do one from a certain company before for the etrac? I did a request from that company but I believe there has to be demand first and someone has to send their detecter into them for the template to be created.

Would love to get one from them, have heard some great things.

A real good way to go is a protective film with a little RainX applied. I had a screen protector for my DFX and ended up not using it as the pod is fine in rain. Don't see why the V3 would be any different?

The one you are talking about are great sctatch covers. The one on order is mire traditional
type cover getting one for the control box also will let every one know how it comes out.

thanks

Jason

I guess my low tech clear, plastic shower cap is a little too "redneck" for you hi tech guys. Got eight of them for a dollar at the "Everything's a Dollar Store" As Gomer Pyle would say..."Shazam".

A couple times (other detectors) I used the clear bags from the roll at the produce department. Then once I set a sheet of Saran Wrap over a control head to not only allow me to see the screen, but use the push pad buttons. It wasn't a heavy down pour, but did the job in a pinch. Had to bag the control box too.

That's not "redneck"...just plain old ingenious. Na...........................It's redneck! (And still ingenious.)

We've just tested those covers and they work perfectly but in very bright sunshine it might be advisable to remove the display part due to reflections. It's not called the "raincoat" for nothing, right?

That box cover is great! Looks like it has a little padding?

 

[davidtn]

Where can I get me some of these???

 

[Jason in TN]

Man those look great can not wait until mine gets here. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Yes it is padded. In fact it's three different layers of materials, so it's water, dust and shock-resistant at the same time, not to mention protection against cuts and scrapes.

Are these currently available for purchase?????

This is one well made cover the one fits the screen great and the control box cover is made better than any I have ever had. This cover will be a great investment to
protect your V3. Would like to say thanks to the folks who made it and the shipping was really quick. Was told a few days ago it was on the way and today it was here.
Thanks again and if you need any info on these feel free to send me a PM.

Pay well over a grand for a detector and use 8 for a $1 shower caps to protect it. Priceless.
