What the thread found

• Lens control rain covers designed for follow focus systems are available from manufacturers specializing in camera accessories
• Rain covers made for this application can fog up quickly when used in wet conditions
• Some users suggest that manufacturers should integrate waterproofing directly into the hand units rather than relying on external covers

Depends on

• The discussion does not specify which rain covers performed best or worst
• No detailed performance data or comparative testing is provided
• The claim about newer Arri follow focus equipment being waterproof is not elaborated upon
• The suggestion to make hand units inherently waterproof was not resolved as a practical solution
