i am curious if anybody has experience with the einsteins with the mc2 outdoors in the cold snow or wet areas with lots of moisture. i am hoping to use try them out there but any input would be most appreciated. i just shot with dynalites outdoors in the cold moist air at night and it was not working very well. i hope the einsteins will do better.

thanks

phil

I've seen video of some numbskull using it in heavily falling snow.
Says no problem.

But allowing any electronics, let alone something with such high voltages stored inside, I think this is a completely idiotic thing to do!!! Nice way to blow out your equipment, and possibly your health.

I would at the very least, put some sort of loose cover over the vents (still allowing air flow) so the snow doesn't build up and melt into the internals!

I would not expect much problem at night unless you sit many hours overnight.
If you're getting heavy condensation you may want to re-think about using any high-voltage equipment. Just as a general safety rule of thumb. :-)
