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 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. Thanks again for the advice 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/ ReplyEmergency Rain Cover Small– For cameras with short primes, wide-angle, and standard zooms such as 24-70mm, 24-105mm, 16-35mm, or 14-24mm So even in 2023 is all comes down to the plastic bag (P18 Rain Cover), at least if you are not having your camera stationary on a tripod. A tube design will not do if the rear end of the tube points upwards while walking with the camera and is collecting all that rain. 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. Great article and very informative. One thing that I’m always interested in knowing but doesn’t ever seems to be covered . Is how much room is there in the cover for your hand to get on the zoom ring. I own two or three covers but none of them give me what I consider to be enough room to easily get to, and operate the zoom on my 70-200 and 100-400. I’ve been thinking about the Think Tank V3. (I’m a big Think Tank fan and user, love their stuff) Any comments would be appreciated! Just finished reading your gear guide on Photo gloves another great article!

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 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. 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. Having spent all that time, effort, and money getting yourself to the correct location at the right time, with the right gear, will you risk it all on “I’ll get the shot later when the weather is better”? The smart move is to carry a simple rain cover and get a shot in the bag. There’s a good chance it’ll have more natural drama and tell more of a story than a shot in dry weather.Hydrophobia 24-70 V3– For cameras with short primes, wide-angle, and standard zooms such as 24-70mm, 24-105mm, 16-35mm, or 14-24mm

Good evening. I read your article with much interest and I came to the conclusion that I really need a camera cover for the rain because here in Italy weather is changing. It’s like in my mother country where it rains almost daily during raining season. 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. 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. 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.

Informative 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

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. ReplyOf all of the reviewed items, I have the PD shell. In fact, I have two. I have found them very useful when out walking with the camera on the capture clip, especially when rain looks likely. And although the quality of the material is fantastic, as well as how they can be removed/attached with great ease, you are absolutely correct in that not being able to use the camera whilst the shell is on it is a definite disadvantage and quite a disappointment in an otherwise excellent product. Note: This will only fit Sheerline's canopies & we will need to know the make & model of your mobility scooter. I think you should get the Think Tank Hydrophobia 70-200 v3. It’ll be fairly bunched up when using your shorter lenses, but it’s still workable. Whereas if you got the Hydrophobia 24-70, it’s not going to cover your 70-200, which is your most expensive lens. https://www.thinktankphoto.com/collections/hydrophobias/products/hydrophobia-d-70-200-v3-0-rain-cover?rfsn=140348.1cb649 Reply
