OP/TECH USARainsleeve Camera Cover - Clear Rain & Dust Sleeve for Shooting Photos & Video, with Viewfinder Access - Camera Rain Cover, Small, 2 Pack

Purchased the Rainsleeve on 05-24-2023 for $4.90.I got this cover for a camera with flash. It's better to have the option available than not. I usually use this rain cover without a flash.I see some reviewers complaining that this isn't durable and doesn't last long. Of course not, it's basically a disposable raincoat. It's not meant to be a lasting protection for use over weeks, months, and years.As long as you're not rough with it, it will survive being used multiple times. I've used the same one a few times, and it's still intact.Like I said, this is a disposable raincoat to keep in your camera bag in case it rains/snows. If you're a nature photographer who spends days-at-a-time in the field in foul weather, get the appropriate rain cover for your gear. Think Tank, LensCoat, Neewer, Ruggard, etc. make durable rain covers, but they're much, much more expensive.Essentially, this is a plastic bag that's tailored to cover the camera, lens, and flash. The plastic isn't super thin, but it will tear/puncture if you're cavalier with it. As long as you're careful that it doesn't snag on anything sharp, you'll get good use from it.There's a drawstring for the lens cover portion. You can wrap it around the front of the lens/hood when you're shooting, or close it in front of the lens when you're not.There's a 1/2" diameter hole for the viewfinder. The very, very annoying thing is that unless that hole is placed just right, a mirrorless camera with an EVF (Electronic ViewFinder) will react as if the plastic is your eye over the viewfinder, then switch into EVF mode. When that happens, the settings/readouts that were displayed externally on the LCD screen switch to being visible only in-camera through the viewfinder. Not great when you're using Liveview and shooting video.If you have a lens longer than 3", you will need to insert just the flash in the cover, then place the camera with lens inside, then attach the flash. Or, you could remove the lens, attach the flash on the camera, insert the camera with flash in the cover, then attach the lens. The openings in the cover are not large enough to be able to push through a camera body with a lens longer than 3" plus an attached flash.The touchscreen does register your touch with the cover over it.Again, consider this a disposable rain cover. It's something that's small enough, light enough, and cheap enough that you can buy several to keep in your camera bags, just in case that bright sunny day suddenly turns gloomy.

A very simple and cheap solution that does just what it's intended to do. For a professional looking to go out shooting in rainy conditions all day, every day, a dedicated heavy-duty rain protection system would be recommended, but for 'emergency' rain use, these are great to have. I have been using the Original 18" sleeves on two different cameras when I go wildlife and bird photographing in the Florida wetlands, where rain is an unfortunate possibility almost any day of the year. Often I go for long walks far from shelter or cars and prefer not to haul additional lenses or bags with me, so I'll just bring the camera and mounted lens...these rain sleeves when folded up can easily slip into a back pants pocket and not even be noticed - just a few mm thick and no larger than a wallet's length and width. If I see rain coming, I can get the camera into the sleeve in under 30 seconds, tighten up the front drawstring, and work on mounting the eyepiece over the hole. Sometimes I just skip that step as I can still shoot with the viewfinder even through the plastic - depends on how long I expect the rain to last. I use this sleeve on a medium-sized DSLR with a Tamron 150-600mm lens, and it fits very nicely, even allowing the Tamron full extension at 600mm. I also use this on a much smaller mirrorless camera body with a 70-300mm lens, and it's entirely too big but can still be used in a pinch. I do wish they made a size in between their 'small' 8" model and original 18" model - something like 12" would be perfect for a mirrorless or compact DSLR with a 70-200mm or 70-300mm mid-range zoom.

Think of it as a disposable rain Pancho for your camera. It provides good protection & may camera has never gotten wet

So glad I found this handy product through a photography blog link! A two pack of these for under $5 is a steal! The packaging is nice and thin, slid easily into my camera bag or day-pack, and I forgot I had them - until I needed them!On a trip to Paris, we encountered tons of rain, and of course it was on the day we were at the Eiffel Tower! The day would have been ruined if I hadn't had these Rainsleeves with us. We easily figured out how to fit it over my camera (I was using a Nikon D5100 with an 18-200mm lens) at a café and were back on our way again for the rest of the night.The Rainsleeve fits over the whole camera with a little hole that is pre-cut to fit over the viewfinder (you remove and refit your eyepiece to hold it in place). The other end is held around your lens with a drawstring. The bag is curved to naturally conform to your arm, and there is a lot of space inside for your hand to move around to the controls. Your other hand on the outside can easily move the lens, but the way I ended up fitting mine, it ended up being easier to leave part of the lens tube exposed when it was extended. (I wish the drawstring was replaced with elastic...it did get in the way sometimes).I use a Black Rapid RS-7 camera strap (which is another miraculous product worth every cent), and it worked fine with this product, but the Rainsleeves probably wouldn't work as well with a traditional camera strap (although you could probably use the bag "upside down" with the bend of it in the opposite direction. We realized we had inadvertently done this the entire first day we used it, with no real problem, there was enough surplus material that we didn't really notice).Even though the Rainsleeve was soaked the first night, my camera was dry (except the glass of the lens, which I will prepare better for in the future - make sure to have something to dry and buff those water spots!) We hung the Rainsleeve up to dry that night, and re-used it again the next day. I think we probably could have gotten one or two more uses out of it if we needed to, but luckily the rain stopped and we had the second one anyway.Keeping a nice little stock of these on hand for sure! What a great tool to have in a pinch - such a simple inexpensive solution to keep my $2000 set up working on our pricey picturesque vacation, even despite the weather! :)

Wel gedoe om goed om de camera te krijgen en te houden. Regen blijft vervelend bij fotografie. Dit maakt t al een deel aangenamer

Protection contre les projections eau de mer sur regate voile

Naja... nicht besonders praktisch. Für mich ist die Tüte zu unhandlich, groß und verrutscht dauernd. Sie stört mehr, als sie hilft. Vielleicht maximal für auf's Stativ brauchbar wenn man lange bleibt.

Allora, è sostanzialmente un sacco di plastica. Allora perché prendere questo invece che usare un sacco della spesa?Beh, è molto più comodo e più robusto, costa poco, fa quel che serve e lo fa bene, è leggerissimo e non occupa spazio. Il cordino per stringere sull'obiettivo è davvero comodo!Faccio foto in condizioni difficili, sono specializzato, e questo sacco mi è stato utilissimo in condizioni di pioggia o polvere dalle foreste dell'Honduras alle nostre alpi.L'ho ricomprato perché l'ultimo dei due sacchetti l'ho usato per fare foto in un pollaio industriale, 14mila polli svolazzanti che praticamente mi hanno coperto di guano, polvere e acari e avrebbero coperto di schifezze anche la mia macchina fotografica, ma per fortuna hanno insozzato solo il sacchetto e grazie a questo prodigioso sacchetto ho salvato la mia macchina fotografica! Olé!

I got these on the off chance, I was doing a shoot in Wales and the forecast was terrible, my camera is weather sealed but I didn’t want to risk too much.It fits so well, can still see and use buttons, I use a wrist grip to hold camera and it suits that.The eyepiece hole is genius and simple, the lens tie is easy but a little tip, take the lens good off and loop the excess strap stour the lens, then put the hood back on, saved the strap flying aboutGreat simple cheap product, it’s staying in my camera bag as one of those really useful things only to be used now and then
