Hi!

Can i use this also for example 24-105 mm l lens very well?

[ThinkTankCustSvc]

@Fooder20 Hi There! Please see my response to 1jammad1 above. The same applies to the 24-105. The rain cover will attach to your lens but the integrated camera strap may interfere with the focal ring. Does that make sense? Just let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.

Best Regards-

@ThinkTankCustSvc

Thanks alot, i already found my answere from there, where you pointed.

[RedEmpireGuy]

Is it still easy to see the photos and access menus with the cover on?

[ThinkTankCustSvc]

@RedEmpireGuy Absolutely! Very large clear plastic window for LCD/back of camera and it curves up over the top of the body to view settings.

If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Best Regards,

Chris

I'm like a domestic cat....I don't like the rain, so I don't need stuff like this for my gear.

ok why would you put a rain cover on a moister sealed lens?

[BrandedChannels]

I own this product. Like it, although I have not had a chance to actually use it. It is made for photography, not for videography, which is how I use my Canons. Shooting video with your DSLR means that you view through an attached viewfinder on the back of the camera - I use Zacuto's Z-Finder. The Hydrophobia does not allow for that. Therefore, I think ThinkTank should make an alternative version for us DSLR video shooters.

Pentax is a good camera with good sealing, so does some of the high end canons and nikons, but when it's pouring heavily, I dare not use the camera on it's own, the sealing works fine but when you need to change the lense, that's when you have the water seeping into the body. Raincovers works better since water doesn't get to the cam at all less those on your hands.

[SuperGuyincognito]

Save yourself the embarrassment of wearing a camera condom and just buy weather sealed gear or go with Pentax.

Oh please, tell what is the name of this music?

Thanx

[ThinkTankCustSvc]

It's actually from the free music off Apple's GarageBand!

[arturkuchin]

Thanx!

Will try to find the tune.

[ThinkTankCustSvc]

the title is "reverse chill"

[arturkuchin]

Well thanx again!

I am using the Canon 7D and have the Zacuto Z-Finder attached to my LCD - my question: is it possible to have your cover on and still have the Z-Finder covered and be able to look though it?

[ThinkTankCustSvc]

You won't be able to permanantly attach the Zacuto but you will be able to hold it up to the LCD with the clear plastic of the Hydrophobia inbetween.

Attention to detail.. WOW ! Would this work with shorter lenses like a 24-70 or even down to the 16-35 ?

[ThinkTankCustSvc]

@1jammad1 This new raincover will work with a shorter focal length lens. There may be some bunching of the material but this won't compromise the structural integrity. The only problem is that on the shorter lenses, the strap which attaches to the lens may interfere with the focal ring. It can be used with out the strap of course but you lose the functionality of the camera being locked into the raincover.

Looks to me like the ultimate protection from the rain & elements.

[batdorffphotography]

This think looks slick.

Had a chance to try out the Hydrofobia last night in a heavy cold rain for about half an hour. It certainly kept the camera dry and there was easy access to all functions on a 1D Mark IV. Nice job TTP!
