Hi Dan, I came to this review because I am looking for a rain cover for my Canon 5D mk3 with various lenses including the Sigma 150mm x 600 Contemporary lens. I shoot mostly birdsong I also like to shoot landscape, but like you say, not likely to use my filters the rain. Been looking at the Thin Tank Vortex. Not sure if it fixes onto a camera with a tripod or monopod. It also looks like it can be used hand held. Great article, I shall look for more of your stuff. Thank you, Gary Reply Thank you for this great review of camera rain covers, I’m a landscape photographer and unfortunately I can’t find or better saying I’m still surprised how this developers haven’t build a cover for landscape photographers who use filter systems.

Dan, Many thanks for your advice. My Think Tank Emergency Rain Cover has just arrived. It is a big thing, but it will cover all my lenses as the material is very flexible. I shall let you know what I think of it as I use it.

When you handle the cover, there’s very clearly a difference in quality between the Altura rain cover and the more expensive options. Still, with care, it will be acceptable for occasional emergency use. It’s undoubtedly a significant step up from the clear plastic covers. The downside is that this cover doesn’t have an eyepiece, so you must peer through the plastic to see your LCD screen or viewfinder. All of the Hydrophobia covers come with a front element cover that is tethered to the main cover and can be used to stop water from getting onto the front of your lens when you’re waiting to shoot or walking around. I’ve always found that useful, and it surprises me that none of the other rain covers on the market offer this simple feature.As I said I’m not stationary on a tripod, I’m moving an the lens will point downwards and that opening will be on the side. Thanks so much! Really appreciate it. Buying it for my boyfriend’s bday and felt lost deciding. Your article is such a help. Best to you. Reply Interesting article and review piece, and to be honest it is not something I think much about. I’m an amateur hobbyist, so no commercial work or definite reason to HAVE to shoot in the rain. But you are right in that you never know when that opportunity may come. An outdoor furniture cover is a practical protective barrier which will prevent undesirable weather damage from occurring to your garden furniture, enabling you to keep your furniture outdoors and in situ all year round. When your garden dining set or sofa set is no longer required, simply place your waterproof cover over it and leave it to protect against the elements. No matter the material, our covers for garden furniture sets are suitable for all including rattan garden furniture covers.

If rain is falling down, I don’t know how it would get up from underneath. If you want watertight, you’d need an underwater housing. ReplyInformative article, Dan. I’m seeking a cover to use while shooting boats in a choppy bay side, saltwater environment. I won’t be out in the rain but I will be dealing with potential salt spray. Based on your review, I’m thinking the first review would be best – the Hydrophobia but your list says the #1 choice is the Think Tank Emergency Rain cover. Which do you think would work best for my application? Reply Yeah, although to be honest, so few people use filter systems that I think it would be a tiny market. Even fewer people would continue to use one in the rain… I think your best bet is to use an umbrella holder clamped to your tripod 🙂 Reply Hi Charles. I have written an article about that here: https://shuttermuse.com/photography-from-a-kayak/ Reply

I currently have a Nikon Coolpix B700 that has a Nikkor 60X Wide Optical Zoom ED VR 4.3-258mm. To tell you the truth, I have no idea what this means other than it zooms to 60X. I will be traveling to the Antarctic and to Churchill, Manitoba where I will encounter cold and wet weather. I don’t want my trip to be ruined because of a damaged camera. What precautions can I take to protect my camera from the wet and cold weather conditions as well as going from a heated room to frigid temperatures outside. I have tried a few sleeves but they seem too big. Reply Unfortunately I got a problem. I own a mirrorles EOS M50 and its compactness that makes it easy to carry during trips is a disadvantage when it comes to these rain covers. I just bought a cover similar to the Altura one. It is simply too big even if the camera can fit inside properly with the needed attention. It’s important to note that this cover is designed to protect the camera while you walk around with it attached to your body or bag. It is not intended to protect your camera while you are shooting. You cannot keep the Shell rain cover on the camera while you are shooting because it doesn’t have an eyepiece to look through. This makes its protection more limited than most other covers on this list. Whether that’s okay with you depends on how much weather sealing your camera and lens have. Good question! Any of these will work without a tripod. I’m not sure why there are always tripod in the photos. Just an odd coincidence! ReplyThe Think Tank Hydrophobia is basically what you are asking for. Albeit with hand holes to get your hands inside it. And if you don’t want to have those hand holes, there is the TT Emergency rain cover. Help me understand how these are not almost exactly what you are describing?

Hey Gary, the Vortex Pro covers have an opening on the bottom so you can use with a tripod. So does the large size of the Think Tank Emergency Rain Cover. I realize I haven’t (yet) written all that much about the Emergency Rain Cover as it is a newer product and I just haven’t fully updated this yet. That said, I have both the large and medium sizes in the lineup here, and can confirm the large size does have an opening on the bottom for tripod, but the medium does not. For you, I would highly recommend the Think Tank Large Emergency Rain Cover. Here’s a link to the specific model: https://shuttermuse.com/go/tt-emergency-rain-large/ Reply Note: This will only fit Sheerline's canopies & we will need to know the make & model of your mobility scooter. Yea that hand openings are not useful, I would have to roll those in (so water does not get inside and I don’t bring it in with my wet hands). And they are a waste of material and make it to bulky.

From decades of traveling the world with my camera, I’ve learned – sometimes the hard way – that a camera rain cover is an essential part of any photographer’s kit. Here’s why: The most dramatic skies for landscape photography often occur during those brief moments before and after a storm. Either side of that moment, you’re probably going to get wet. If wildlife photography is more your cup of tea, I also have news for you: many animals don’t care about the rain. They’ll still be out there doing what they’ve got to do.PortaBrace is a well-known company so I would expect this to be great. I might see if I can borrow one to test and add to this guide. Thanks for the inspiration! Reply
