Those are the kind of cases ($200+) I'd like to avoid buying for using only
once. I was wondering whether there might not be an alternative for
shooting what amounts to be 30 seconds of video with a simple set-up (one
camera, one mic, no lights), like maybe keeping the camera in its hard case
with heat packs, and taking it only to shoot for a few minutes at a time.
Is that doable in -10C weather?
