Weatherproofing RX1 (Incomplete) | 耐候RX1(不完全)

My next trip brings me high up the highest ranges in the world, the Himalayas. And with reports that RX1 batteries would drain to a mere dozen of shots in extremely cold weather, it's a risk I am not going to take, every shot drained, is money lost.

 

But then a brand new D800 might not be an answer, because I'm used to travel light, mirrorless and all.

 

Though honestly, just look at those tiny cameras, I doubt they'll have adequate 'cold-proof' above altitudes of 5000++ meters, if any.

 

Thus, here goes a cheapskate, makeshift full body case cutout, that might just be useful, whether it's just going to be a slight help or a wondrous miracle, I just can't take chances!

 

Bottom line is, my main camera MUST-NOT-FAIL.

 

Let's see how well this works.
