Kata DVG-52 Camcorder Guard for Sony Z1 and FX1 camcorders.
From Kata
The new revolutionary KATA DVG-52 Camcorder Guard is fabricated from special semi-rigid closed cell foam and fabric lamination thermo pressed to duplicate the exact camcorder design, so that it will safeguard your camcorder from knocks, bumps, scratches, dust and dirt. The DVG will provide overall protection while maintaining all working functionality. The design matches itself to the unique shape of the Sony Z1 & FX1 while transparent windows, dedicated cable connecting slots and quick access pull flaps to buttons and controls allow easy monitoring and operating of all functions. A flexible lens hood can easily be folded out of the way to accommodate a mattbox when in use. Once on, the DVG need never be taken off!

A snug little wetsuit for my camera!
The product is brilliant! It zips and velcros onto a Sony HDR-FX1 video camera and protects your investment from bumps and dust. I keep it on my camera all the time. The neoprene provides just enough padding to keep the plastic camera body free of scratches. The clear windows allow access to most (though not all) of the buttons. Two minor design flaws: the velcro flap that covers the tape door isn't quite wide enough and the door sometimes hangs up on it when opening. Also, to access the firewire port I have to unzip the jacket and pull it partially off.
This would be a perfect product it not for these two small flaws, but even with these issues I consider this one of the smartest accessories I've purchased for my FX-1.
