Body Armor??

Anyone use it on their cameras? Does it really protect it?

it might help individual outside body pieces survive hairline cracks, but the shock will still be transmitted internally

so if a 10 foot drop will cause your mirror to dislodge internally, this armor is not going to help you



if you want weather proofing on a camera without... just get some clear hockey tape and go nuts.

I always thought body armor was a really expensive Dainese leather track suit.
