Product Information

Full details

The Think Tank Emergency Rain Cover (Small) in RealTree APX camouflage is designed for photographers using DSLR or mirrorless cameras with standard zoom lenses who need quick protection against adverse weather. Its primary benefit is keeping your gear operational in rain, sleet, snow, dust, or sand. A key consideration is its size, which is best suited for smaller camera bodies and standard lenses, potentially limiting compatibility with larger setups. This cover offers essential weatherproofing with an oversized viewing window and hot shoe mount for usability.

FAQs

What size camera and lens is this cover designed for?

This is the 'Small' size, best suited for DSLR or mirrorless cameras with standard zoom lenses. For larger camera bodies or telephoto lenses, a larger model may be necessary.

How does the cover attach to the camera?

The cover features a hot shoe mount that typically attaches over the camera's hot shoe for stability. The elasticized openings and drawstrings help secure it around the lens and body.

Can I still see and use my camera controls?

Yes, the cover has an oversized viewing window that allows you to see your LCD screen and operate most of your camera's controls.

Is this cover completely waterproof?

The cover is seam-sealed for extreme protection against rain, sleet, and snow, as well as dust and sand. However, prolonged submersion or extremely heavy, sustained downpours may eventually test its limits.

How do I clean the rain cover?

You can clean the cover with a damp cloth. It's important to let it air dry completely before folding it back into its pouch to prevent mildew.

Does it come with a carrying pouch?

Yes, the Think Tank Emergency Rain Cover (Small) compresses down into an included compact carrying pouch.

What is the camouflage pattern for?

The RealTree APX camouflage pattern is designed to help the cover blend into natural outdoor environments, offering a more discreet appearance.

Troubleshooting

Cover is difficult to fit over the lens.

Ensure the camera body and lens are positioned centrally within the cover. Loosen any elastic or drawstrings if applicable and re-adjust for a snugger fit. For larger lenses, consider if a larger cover size is needed.

Viewing window is obscured.

Reposition the cover so the window is directly in front of your camera's LCD screen. Gently adjust the fabric around the lens to ensure the window lies flat.

Water seeps through seams.

While seam-sealed, extreme downpours may challenge any material. Ensure the cover is fitted correctly and all openings are secured. Allow cover to dry completely after use and inspect for damage.

Cover does not deploy quickly.

Practice deploying the cover a few times in good conditions. Ensure it is stored loosely in its pouch, not tightly packed, to allow for rapid access.

Pros and Cons

  • Quick and easy to deploy in emergency situations.
  • Allows full operation of camera controls and viewing of the LCD.
  • Includes a hot shoe mount for secure attachment.

Cons

  • The 'Small' size may not fit larger camera bodies or longer lenses.
  • Camouflage pattern may not be suitable for all photographic scenarios.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the cover from its carrying pouch.
  2. Drape the cover over your camera body and lens.

Compatibility:

Care:
