RDX-821 by Orbiniq™ is a refined take on a proven lens protection principle: a compact, low-noise rotary rain deflector designed to keep footage clear in rain, mud, or snow. Developed and tested in Belgium as a working prototype, it brings an existing solution into a lighter, quieter, and more practical form. Join the waitlist to support the launch and access early-bird pricing.
The next step in filmmaking tools
RDX-821 by Orbiniq™ is a compact, low-noise rotary rain deflector that spins at high speed to keep your lens clear in real time. Unlike traditional systems designed for large broadcast rigs, it’s built for handhelds, gimbals, and light setups. The current working prototype already demonstrates this core functionality.
Always shooting, never stopping
RDX-821 clears your lens while you film, not after. High-speed rotation removes rain, mud, and snow in real time using a proven rotary principle. What’s different is the execution: compact, lightweight, and optimized for modern filmmaking. The prototype already integrates with handheld rigs and gimbals, delivering clarity without the bulk, noise, or cost of traditional systems.*Final product appearance and specifications may differ slightly from the prototype as we move into production.
Protect your creative flowStay focused on storytelling, not on lens maintenance, even in the harshest conditions.
Keep rolling when it countsNo more stopping mid-shoot to clean the glass. Capture every moment without interruption.
Deliver flawless footageRain, snow, and mud are cleared instantly, so your final image stays sharp and professional.
The challenge
Rain, mud, and snow don’t care about your perfect shot. Every filmmaker knows the frustration of losing time, momentum, and creative focus to a dirty lens. Existing solutions, from rotary deflectors to mechanical shields and improvised systems, can work, but they are often bulky, heavy, noisy, expensive, or impractical for modern camera setups.
The struggle every filmmaker knows
When raindrops or snow hit the lens, the image is instantly compromised. Without a way to clear the glass in real time, filmmakers are forced to stop, wipe, and restart. In fast and unpredictable conditions, those interruptions often mean the shot is gone.
Capture what others can’tRDX-821 lets you film in weather that stops other creators. Your shots stand out because you keep rolling when conditions shut everyone else down.
Upgrade your toolkit, not your loadoutNo need for bulky rain rigs or awkward workarounds. RDX-821 is small enough to fit in your bag, light enough for travel, and fast enough for professional work.

About Orbiniq™
RDX-821 is the result of three years of engineering and testing focused on improving an existing solution. A working prototype is complete and proven in real-world conditions. Turning this into a refined, production-ready product requires tooling, iteration, and support. By joining the campaign, you help bring a more practical and accessible rotary rain deflector to production.
Who am I? An independent engineer based in Belgium with hands-on exposure to filmmaking environments. RDX-821 was developed alongside a full-time job and family life, through sustained evening and weekend work. The result is a working prototype now ready to move toward production with community support.
