The blue Porta-Brace SC-PDW850 shoulder case for Sony PDW850 is a custom-made case designed to protect the camcorder from impacts, abrasions and scratches. The exterior is made of 1000 denier laminated Cordura nylon, complemented by a soft nylon interior with a moisture-resistant foam layer between them. The case features vinyl windows for reading dials and a touch-closure flap providing quick access to the battery. Fold-down doors cover the controls and also protect them from the elements. A waterproof rain cover is built-in and stores in its own pocket. It covers the entire top portion of the camera, including the lens, and provides protection against rain, sleet and snow, as well as corrosive atmospheres such as sea air.
