These just came out, and have to pass it on. Think Tank Photo Emergency Rain Covers!
If you have ever got caught shooting the rain, this has GOT to be in your bag.
When I moved to the East coast from California, I got a whole new appreciation for how long I had to keep rain gear around. And figure ways to protect my camera gear.
Here is an easy solution.
I already saw the need. For instance, while shooting a concert at an open air bandshell, the umbrellas came out, and i had to weather (sorry) the downpour, and keep shooting.
While my camera is weather sealed, I still kept hiding it back into my bag for protection. I got the shot but not ideal.
If I had one of these, it would have been a no-brainer, and it would have been a different story.
Another time, while walking home, the downpour began.
I love the images you can make in that kind of light and circumstance, but bringing out the camera was not really an option for me, weather sealed or not. It was monsoon-like.
If I had one of these, it would have been a no-brainer, and it would have been a different story.
You are getting the pattern, I imagine. And I’m sure you know how you would be using this.

So, for the short dough, about $40.00 you need to have one of these in your kit. And they do come in sizes.
The covers are designed to fit both DSLR and Mirrorless cameras and are available in two sizes to accommodate a range of full-frame lenses. The Emergency Rain Cover– Small protects a 16–35mm f/2.8, a 14–24mm f/2.8, a 24–105mm f/4, or a 24–70mm f/2.8 lens. The Emergency Rain Cover – Medium protects a 24–70mm f/2.8 or a 70–200mm f/2.8 lens.
Who needs this?
Sports photogs, concert photographers, outdoor photographers, nature photographers, wedding photographers,and just about everyone.
Have a look at the video above and see how easy it is to put on.
Admittedly, their Hydrophobia is their solid, all day rain cover solution. More involved, more expensive, and assumes you know what you are walking into.
Like maybe you are cover the big game, which will go on, rain or shine. And that includes you!
