OP/TECH USA Rainsleeve Camera Cover - Clear Rain & Dust Sleeve for Shooting Photos & Video, with Viewfinder Access - Camera Rain Cover, Original, 2 Pack

I bought this to protect my camera while on safari, except it did not rain during our trek. A year later I was finally able to put this to use on a trip to Iguazu Falls. It protected my camera from the mist from the falls, but I would not trust it in a heavy downfall. It is easy to apply to the camera, and I like that the part of the plastic that goes over the main body of the camera is not too long, so I’m not wading through lengths of plastic to find the viewfinder. The small size also makes it easy to carry in my bag. The plastic seems durable and reusable. This is a quality product. *This review was made in good faith based on my personal experience with the product.

Very easy to use, good quality, protects your expensive camera from being ruined by rainwater.

Pros: Works well with my 7DII plus grip and 70-200mm f/2.8 lens in landscape orientation, even with the lens' tripod foot attached to a monopod. The opening for the viewfinder attaches between the camera and the camera's eyepiece cover. It may take you a couple of tries to get everything lined up well so that the eyepiece cover stays attached. Be sure and check to be sure it won't fall off and get lost! The cover keeps everything nice and dry, even in a downpour. Cons: There's just not enough room to use it in portrait orientation with the grip, keep the eye hole over the viewfinder, the lens attached to the monopod and keep the opening for my hands pointed down.The main reason for the grip is to have the extra set of controls for portrait orientation. Sigh. If you are the DIY type there is a workaround: Use Mailing Carton Sealing Tape Clear 3.0mil - 1PC - 1.89 in x 55 yds M to cover the built in hole and carefully cut your own hole to the side so that it lines up with your camera in portrait orientation. Pay close attention to the eyepiece cover staying secured as it is now slid on from the side instead of the top. This allows me to use the monopod with the top of the cover still up and the bottom with the hand opening still down. I also use the tape to reinforce around the eyepiece hole and repair any minor nicks to the plastic. If you place the tape against the plastic cover on the inside of the cover, the sticky side will not come in contact with your camera. It's easiest to place the tape so it won't interfere with the eyepiece cover if the both the rain cover and the eyepiece cover are attached to the camera when applying the tape. This allows me to reuse each cover quite a number of times.

So glad I found this handy product through a photography blog link! A two pack of these for under $5 is a steal! The packaging is nice and thin, slid easily into my camera bag or day-pack, and I forgot I had them - until I needed them! On a trip to Paris, we encountered tons of rain, and of course it was on the day we were at the Eiffel Tower! The day would have been ruined if I hadn't had these Rainsleeves with us. We easily figured out how to fit it over my camera (I was using a Nikon D5100 with an 18-200mm lens) at a café and were back on our way again for the rest of the night. The Rainsleeve fits over the whole camera with a little hole that is pre-cut to fit over the viewfinder (you remove and refit your eyepiece to hold it in place). The other end is held around your lens with a drawstring. The bag is curved to naturally conform to your arm, and there is a lot of space inside for your hand to move around to the controls. Your other hand on the outside can easily move the lens, but the way I ended up fitting mine, it ended up being easier to leave part of the lens tube exposed when it was extended. (I wish the drawstring was replaced with elastic...it did get in the way sometimes). I use a Black Rapid RS-7 camera strap (which is another miraculous product worth every cent), and it worked fine with this product, but the Rainsleeves probably wouldn't work as well with a traditional camera strap (although you could probably use the bag "upside down" with the bend of it in the opposite direction. We realized we had inadvertently done this the entire first day we used it, with no real problem, there was enough surplus material that we didn't really notice). Even though the Rainsleeve was soaked the first night, my camera was dry (except the glass of the lens, which I will prepare better for in the future - make sure to have something to dry and buff those water spots!) We hung the Rainsleeve up to dry that night, and re-used it again the next day. I think we probably could have gotten one or two more uses out of it if we needed to, but luckily the rain stopped and we had the second one anyway. Keeping a nice little stock of these on hand for sure! What a great tool to have in a pinch - such a simple inexpensive solution to keep my $2000 set up working on our pricey picturesque vacation, even despite the weather! :)

Works well to protect the camera from rain. Had to use this a couple times on my recent trip to Alaska. My only problem is it takes some time to get this thing on the camera properly, once it's on it's difficult to manipulate the lens zoom. Also if you're using a shorter lens then this thing is pretty much pointless since there's too much excess sleeve and nowhere to put it. The product itself is a high quality plastic too, not cheap like a grocery store bag. Small and compact, folded up tiny and shoved it in my backpack, acted as extra padding for my lenses. :) It worked great with the Canon 40d and Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens. It worked good with the 40d and Canon 17-40mm f/4.0L. I gave up trying with my 40d and Canon 50mm f/1.8.

400ミリ望遠+APS-C一眼レフに装着して使用 約3時間弱 強弱の雨の中で1000枚近く撮影しましたが まったく問題なく使えました これからも雨の危険性ある撮影には必ず携帯するつもりです

春から キャノンのEOS学園で学習中。４回の外部での撮影実習 １回目 警報 ２・４回目も雨。３回目だけ好天でした。だから、これは、必需品 ボデイを守るためにいくらあっても邪魔にならず、高価なものはシートが色付きなので本体が見えない。コンパクトでカメラの観察、操作によく、悪天候時の破損時でも 気持ちよく廃棄しやすい とても格安なので 購入しています。高価なものの良さはあるが、また逆も。私は、備品と消耗品の頻度を考える。持ち運びにまったく苦にならない。とっつさのアクシデントで、カメラカバー以外の消耗にも気軽に使える利点。

Muty práctico en caso de lluvia, nieve e incluso mucho polvo (rallyes de tierra, etc.). Buen diseño adaptable a cualquier reflex. Imprescindible en tu bolsa de fotografía si haces fotos al aire libre (a veces el mal tiempo no avisa)

カメラやレンズが防滴になっていても、雨の日は保護しておいた方が安心できるので、保険として使っています。コンパクトなので、バッグに忍び込ませておけば、いざというときに役に立ちます。使い方も簡単です。但し、ただのビニールなので、数回使ったら交換する方が良いように思います。

No need to look further for a basic rain sleeve or in my case snow. I used this outside during a snowstorm and it kept my camera, lens and remote trigger dry for the many hours I was shooting. While it can easily be used hand held, I used it on my tripod and it fit perfectly. The drawstring worked perfectly when I tightened it up around my lens hood so that the only exposed part of my gear was the front of the lens - and there's just no way past that. I carry one in my gear bag now all the time and keep the spare at home.
