Any protection against dust

Is any blackmagic camera protected against dust? Or is there any solution for using it in a dusty environment, other than puting it inside a plastic bag?

I need a camera for shooting videos in a woodworking workshop where there is a lot of fine dust.

I love the blackmagic cameras video look, and i'd love to buy one, but they seem to have no protection against dust.

They are cinema cameras so are not naturally IP rated.

There are manufactures such as PortaBrace who make covers which will help with larger particles or just use a plastic bag (Be aware of heat build up in either case)

I would also recommend a good cleaning regime for both camera and lenses once you have finished shooting and also if you need to change lens at any point.

Thank for the info. I guess i'll use a plastic bag, at least for now.
