Just how weatherproof is weatherproof? Will shooting in a light drizzle kill it?

It hasn't been field tested to know for sure but it is weathersealed and it should withstand light moisture with normal care.

I can't say for sure, but it has fogged up inside on occasion, so it's certainly not waterproof. This did not seem to affect performance.

I wouldn't say its waterproof but I had it out for about 8 hours in the rain and my gear stayed fairly dry. It wasn't pouring but it was a constant drizzle throughout the day.

Sorry to say that it is not waterproof. I bought this light for duck hunting, where we walk around in a flooded marsh. There is often drizzle, fog or rain. Thankfully, I have not tripped and caused the light to go underwater. Even so, it was getting fogged up inside the clear lens after each outing. I then applied silicone sealant around the clear lens and around the right and left aluminum heat exchangers. I also wrapped the front bezel assembly with tape, where the black bezel meets the gray body. This has prevented the light from fogging up! Hope this helps someone!

It'll do just fine agains a drizzle, a downpour may soak trhu. You definitely do not want to submerge it in water.

Water will kill it, it killed mine. Will work outside but bring it in during the rain.

Yes it's not bad, i shoot mine in my backyard. It is quieter than my more expensive guns.

It will cover just enough of the camera from the rain. Therefore, it should not affect the camera's viewfinder in any way. Just make sure it's on the proper way.

In my experience, if you are caught in a little bit of rain, the bag will keep things dry for a few minutes while you get to your car or a building. It is not waterproof, and I would not bet my camera on it in a downpour. I do a lot of shooting in wet and dirty conditions (car races), and here's how I solve this: I keep my waterproof rain jacket in the velcro straps on the front of the bag or hung from it on a carabiner. If it rains, I put the XXL jacket over the bag and myself. This allows me to use the bag, and even move it around from front to back under the jacket, while keeping the water off. Great bag, somewhat water resistant, but not waterproof. Hope that helps!

The camera is weather proof, as long as it is not exposed directly to rain or snow. Mine is mounted under the eaves near the front door and I have not had any problems so far.

Not sure what you are looking for. Water Proof....you gonna be shooting under water? The battery, elevation, and windage adjustments have little rubber seals. I have shoot in the rain with it. It has gotten plenty wet, but I don't think it is rated Water Proof......you know, depending on what your shooting the best you can hope for is a range of between 2 to 9 feet underwater....that close you should not need an optic...oh and you wont have enough speed or energy to penetrate more then a cardboard box top.......Just goofing....this optic is built well and no need to worry about the rain and so fourth.

Waterproof like a jacket .. If it rains your optic is good .. You drop in a lake kiss it good bye.

As to "rainproof" don't know, but it is dustproof. Spent two weeks in Africa and that place is dusty. Guns where clean and they arrived without having to recalibrate the scopes. Has a rubber "o" ring seal around the lid. Had double rifles and did not go over the weight limit, with one case. Recommend it for travel.

I can only answer for myself. I do not do much out door work so my experience is limited. I have used the 1D-x in rain but use a modified plastic bag for protection. Given what I have said I can say I have never had any weather problems using the camera.

The camera is weather proof on its own. The box is more just for security. I didn't read the post that stated rain ruined their camera but they either had a defect in the outter molded shell or didn't have it closed properly. I bought the box for security (I had my 1st camera stolen) and it is heavy duty and works great.

It is not weather proof. If you install it outside you have to make sure it is protected. When the temperature gets below 30 F or so the CCD has a little problem with noise. You will see lots of noise in the picture and the motion sensing will get triggered continuously.
