Product Information

Full details

The Think Tank Emergency Rain Cover (Medium) in RealTree APX camouflage is for photographers needing reliable protection for their DSLR or mirrorless cameras with longer zoom lenses from adverse weather. Its key benefit is providing robust defense against rain, dust, snow, and sand while maintaining usability of the camera's rear screen and controls. A potential caveat is its camouflage pattern, which might be a specific aesthetic choice rather than a universal requirement. This cover is lightweight, seam-sealed for maximum protection, and compresses into a small pouch for portability.

FAQs

What size lenses does the Medium cover typically accommodate?

The Medium cover is designed for longer everyday zoom lenses. It generally fits lenses up to a certain length, but it's best to test with your specific lens for confirmation.

Is the camouflage pattern functional or just aesthetic?

The RealTree APX camouflage pattern is photo-realistic and designed to help the gear blend into natural surroundings, which can be beneficial for wildlife photographers.

Can I still use my camera's hot shoe with this cover?

The cover is designed to slip over the camera body and lens. Depending on the camera and flash setup, access to the hot shoe might be limited or require careful positioning of the cover.

How quickly can this cover be put on or taken off?

With practice, the cover can be deployed or removed in a matter of seconds, making it suitable for rapidly changing weather conditions.

What is the material of the rain cover?

The product description does not specify the exact material but highlights it as lightweight and seam-sealed for protection.

Does the cover come with a carrying pouch?

Yes, the Think Tank Emergency Rain Cover compresses into an included compact carrying pouch for easy storage and transport.

Can this cover be used in dusty or sandy environments?

Yes, the cover is designed to protect the camera from dust, snow, and blowing sand in addition to rain.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty fitting the cover over the lens

Ensure the cover is oriented correctly and try stretching the elastic opening wider. For very large lenses, consider if the 'Medium' size is appropriate for your setup.

LCD screen is difficult to see through the window

Adjust the position of the rain cover to better align the oversized window with your camera's LCD screen. Ensure the window itself is clean.

Water ingress despite using the cover

Check that all seams are properly sealed and that the cover is fitted snugly around the camera body and lens mount. Ensure no gaps are present where water could enter.

Cover is noisy in windy conditions

Try to secure the cover more tightly to the camera and lens using any available closures to minimize flapping.
