Camera barney
Also known as barney, camera blimp, camera cosy.
A fitted padded camera cover used to reduce mechanical noise and sometimes help protect or warm a camera in cold conditions.
In practice
The cover must leave required controls, cooling, vents, and moving parts operable. It reduces sound but does not replace proper camera maintenance or sound-department planning.
