The Altura Photo rain cover offers protection from serious damage that can be caused by rain, snow, salt spray, dust, dirt and sand.

Great product, low price
I got this rain cover about 5 months ago and didn’t particularly like it. It is huge and doesn’t work well with short lenses or lenses that extend. That’s a lot of lenses.But, I recently got the new Tamron 70-200 G2 lens. The lens is a fixed ~8IN long, which is perfect for this rain cover. I took it out in a downpour this evening and it worked like a champ. My Canon 80D and the G2 are both weather sealed, but I wouldn’t take them out in the rain without the rain cover. Too much water, then you are dealing with fungus (I assume, since I don’t ever plan to let that happen). In any event, the rain cover did well. The camera/lens stayed dry. Its probably obvious, but I used the lens hood. That combo not only kept the camera and lens dry, but not even a drop got on the glass. Eventually my hands got moist, but I still had my arms attached to my hands, so water is going to eventually get there. The second most important point is I could still use the camera easily– though live view was better than the viewfinder. To stress it a bit, I tried video. I expected a huge muffling sound, but that was overwhelmed by the rain drop sounds. Overall, this is a great product at a low price. Even if you only use it once a year, if you have a 70-200 lens (Canon, Nikon, Tamron, Sigma) it would be a good idea to have on hand.

A Great Quality Product
I live and photograph landscapes in the Colorado and Northern Rocky Mountains where the climate can get extremes in snow and cold, then in the summer it is rain . . . This camera cover is large enough to completely cover my D810 and up to my 70-200mm lens as well as the lower mm prime lenses I use such as the 20mm and 85mm, though there is much excess bulky material when shorter lenses are used.. The draw closures on the front tightens up around the lens hood protecting the lens barrel and the camera housing, and still leaves room to manipulate the lens focus and zoom by reaching through the enclosure of the cover without too much restriction. The clear plastic back allows good viewing of the camera controls and the LCD when using live view, but I have noticed there are creases now starting to show if you don’t protect the clear plastic by making sure it does not fold or bend when putting it away, keep it flat. It is relatively easy to place your camera inside BEFORE you put it on the tripod (having a good ArcaSwiss ball head and L bracket makes it easier to mount on your tripod) so you can make any adjustments before your strap your camera and cover down completely.The hand holes are a little snug, and I find most times I dont use them except if it is really extreme snow or rain. It is much easier to lift the clear plastic back and allows better access to the camera and controls as well as viewing on the LCD screen. Need to lift the rear cover to fine focus anyway, so why bounce back and forth with hand holes and lifting the cover . . .This is a great addition to your camera bag if you find yourself in poor or bad conditions, OR if you want to be able to get out there in all weather conditions. I recommend having one “just in case” . .

Kept My Gear Dry, But You May Need Some Practice With It
I got this rain cover because I do a lot of sports photography for my son’s football team and they play in any weather. I got the cover two days ago and tried it out for the first time yesterday in light rain, so it went through trial by fire (or rain). I am using a Canon DSLR with the 70-200 zoom lens so it sticks out pretty far from the camera body. The rain cover fit over the while kit nicely with lots of interior room to spare and did what it was supposed to do: keep the camera dry. I’m only giving it 4 starts because of the following:- The clear plastic worked well most of the time, but unless it’s flush against the viewfinder it can be hard to see through. If your camera has an LCD screen in back and you use that to frame your shots this may not be much of an issue, but I’m “old school” and like to use the viewfinder when I shoot.- Also, if your camera has a proximity detector that turns the display on and off when your eye comes near the viewfinder (as mine does) the plastic cover may fool the camera into thinking your eye is close when, in fact, it isn’t. This got annoying a few times.- The Velcro strips used to hold the cover onto the lens were kind of awkward to get fitted and don’t really fit flush against the lens when tied together. It did the job OK and when combined with the bungee cord it kept the cover snug against the lens barrel, so all good there. Perhaps I need to try it out when it’s not raining to see if there’s a better way to get the Velcro wrapped.- The sleeve holes took some getting used to to get my arms in and out when shooting. Eventually, I ended up just keeping my right (shutter) hand in the sleeve and put my left hand through the opening in the bottom to manage the lens zooming. It wasn’t raining heavily so leaving the bottom zipper open didn’t pose any risk to the camera. If it was a much wetter environment and I needed to keep the bottom zipper closed it may have been more awkward to use.Since this is the first rain cover I’ve ever used and I didn’t get much time to practice with it before the shoot, some of this may just be due to my inexperience using it. My son has a lot more games coming up so I’m sure there will be a lot more chances to use it.The bottom line is that the cover kept the camera dry the whole game, and that’s the most important thing. It appears well made and very sturdy and, with some practice, I’m sure it will be seeing a lot of use.

Keeps out the rain but only works with tripod
I took this on a trip to Peru and was glad I had it because it rained on me while I was hiking. It kept my camera dry,but made it almost impossible to use the camera with it on. If you were using a tripod *which I was not*, it would probably be more âuser friendlyâ. As it was, it was too stiff to be able to work the camera controls rendering the camera dry, but unusable. Iâll keep it but look for one that allows more freedom of movement.

Great cover, may not fit bigger lenses!
Bought this a while back and just used it for the first time today. The front of the cover didnât quite fit over my Sony 200-600, and I couldnât slide it back to fully fit over the camera, so I turned the clear part into a little shelter. Not the products fault, definitely not designed for that big of a lens. Overall though I was very happy with it and it worked great for what I used it for!

I have not used this rain cover in the rain as of yet. I set-up my camera and tripod with the rain cover just to see how everything worked. The item is exactly as it’s describe. You can securely attach the rain cover to your camera lens using the included stretchy velcro straps. You can also pull the drawstring snug around the outside edge of the lens for added protection from the elements. The two hand sleeves are a great addition because they allow access to all of the cameras controls. Once the camera is set-up you can pull the drawstrings on each sleeve to close the openings to prevent water from getting inside. Lastly, the clear window on the cover allows you to see the camera’s controls and even look through the viewfinder to ensure perfect composition. This is a great, inexpensive product that will protect your camera gear from the elements.
