The electrics in my Heq5 need cleaning up if I leave it out over night for a few days covered with a large hard plastic bucket. The humidity and constant salt air means here means it will not connect at the crucial moment so I need to clean and fiddle . The mounts should have rubber plugs like a camera st4. Quicker to just leave the tripod or pier set up with marks and carry the mount head out .
I have one of those Bunnings chair covers on my outdoor seat. It really is pretty heavy duty coated material. I might get one just to fit the tripod.

Down here on the Bellarine, 100 mtr from the Bay we get our fair share of wet and windy conditions -plenty of sea spray at times.
The mount has been out in these conditions for over five years now, with no technical failures.
Any comments on actual "failures" from similar users????
