Have checked these. Looks like no one makes one.
My son wanted to use his GR for a time lapse video.

If you're referring about just leaving it outside to capture some video he might want to attempt making a soft cover by himself.
A few years back, I purchased a simple rain jacket that was packaged in a plastic container that was about a foot square. Having to cover a football game I realized I had nothing to cover my camera/lens and it was suppose to have sport downpours at that time. After modifying the plastic, I ended up with a simple but great rain shield for camera and lens, (70mm - 200mm). Sure my camera is weather resistant already but I didn't feel like taking any chances.
If he decides to make something like I did, be sure he doesn't cover the front of the lens.
When it downpoured, nothing was going on anyway so I hid under some cover and keps my camera under my rain jacket. Several other photographers just left for indoor protection.
Remember that something like I made will not hold up for more than a few times. It is nice to have in the back pocket, just in case!
