Vortex Media Jacket Camera Medium
My timelapse setups usually run for 3-4 hours, and most of the time I'm not immediately near it. It's best to set it up and leave it alone. That way stray light from a flashlight, doesn't ruin the shot. I have been looking for a replacement for the cheap rain covers that I have used in the past. The Storm Jacket is compact when folded up and has a bungee closure at each end.
The Storm Jacket Pro Model, which I have, also has a large velcro opening on the bottom. That way you can use it with a tripod, or on a dolly. I've used it on the Dynamic Perception Stage Zero dolly and it worked great. The Storm Jacket is well made and will keep dew, rain, snow and dust off of the camera. The large openings make it easy to get at the camera, but close down tight to keep the weather out. I will be using this a lot, and highly recommend it.
I used this product at Niagra Falls on the maid of the mist and in the Cave of the Winds where you are literally inside the falls and it kept my camera dry as a bone.I used a nikon d90 with a 18-200 zoom and just cinched the cover around the lense hood and stuck my hand in the other end and cinched ith cover around it.
BalasHapusBe prepared to keep drying the lense face.It comes with a handy nylon case with a hook to attach to your camera strap.

Great rain cover for DLSR with long lenses, able to use it fully extended or collapsed in on shorter lenses.
BalasHapusI've been wanting one of these for quite some time but all I've seen have been quite expensive unless you get the ones that look like a clear plastic bag to cook the turkey in. This one is reasonably priced, can be cinched at both ends to fit snug where you want and loose at the other end to get at the controls. It has a handy Velcro opening along the length of the bottom so you slip it over the camera and lens while it is on a mono or tripod while you are taking pictures. It worked like a charm the first time I used it in a torrential sideways down pour.

BalasHapusI love my Vortex Media Pro Storm Jacket Cover! It does exactly what I need it to do. Keeps my gear dry in the rain and snow. I use this on my Sony a700 paired with prime lenses as well as my 18-250. It fits great and I have not had a single problem with it.
