Reviews
well made cover that provides excellent protection from rain and mist
PROS
-works very well: kept my camera fully dry while I was out shooting a 20 hour timelapse and when we had several showers blow through the area
-front velcro strap well implemented
-robust fabric (perhaps a bit heavier than really needed)
-well made (good sealed seams)
-lighweight
-large enough to protect my Z8 and 24-70mm f/2.8 lens
-can use on a tripod (with zips to minimise water ingress)
-zips have membranes, good for keeping water out
-decent value
CONS
-the hole in the clear plastic for the viewfinder to stick out dozen’t work well with my Z8’s viewfinder. It does work better with those viewfinders that flare out. But I frankly just feel that this is a location into which rain can leak, and I’ve taped it up (and keep the cover down)
NOTES
-I tend to avoid putting my wet hands in the sleeves when shooting, as that just introduces humidity into the cover. So I cinch those openings closed
MY STAR RATINGS:
1* substandard, mostly cons
2** barely acceptable, cons outweigh the pros
3*** meets the basic requirements, cons balance the pros
4**** good product, pros outweigh the cons
5***** exceptional, all (or almost all) pros
