Tomorrow, I am going to Harbin, China to view the winter Ice Festival.
Temperatures in Harbin during the are around -14 Celsius. At night (when
the ice sculptures are lit up), temperatures go as low as -25 Celsius. I've
got my VX2000 with me, but gave no thought to the temperature when I packed
for this trip (Harbin is but one stop along the way). The camera has a
minimum operating temperature of 0 Celsuis.
Any ideas on how I can get away with videotaping the Ice Festival? I
suppose, if it came to it, I could keep the camera under my coat and take it
out for shots, but that would be inconvenient (and would make me very cold).
I've got my camera rain cape with me, but it's an Ewa Marine vinyl cape and
would offer no cold protection, though it would keep the wind off. Would
wrapping the camera with towes under the rain cape help?
Any practical suggestions (trying to locate an electric camera blanket in
the middle of rural China is not practical, even if I could afford to buy
one) would be welcome -- I've come too far to miss this great travel
videography opportunity.
