5711 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 <p>hi there</p><p>i know this has been discussed many times but i did not really find something i was happy with</p><p>i need a rain cover for large sized nikon dslrs, d3 and siblings<br /> this raincover has to work with ultra wide angle lenses and standard zooms, lets say<br /> 17-35<br /> 24-70<br /> and if possible<br /> 14-24 too</p><p>i am getting one mainly because the 17-35 f2.8 hasn't got real dust and water protection.</p><p>it needs to have the possibility to mount it on a tripod and it has to withstand all dust and rain..<br /> not that i want to throw it in a pond but i am talking monsun like rain.</p><p>when lookin at pages like aquatech and stuff i couldnt get any info wether those raincovers would allow <br /> me to mount the camera on magic arms or tripods. i might have overread it though.</p><p>wind is going to be an issue, i guess. especially with long exposures since all the cloth works like a sail..<br /> any experience on that issue?</p><p>what i dnt need is something that has to be fixated like a filter or something since i want to use<br /> lee filters.</p><p>some help would be highly appreciated!<br /> thanks in advance and sorry for repeating this question.</p><p>cheers<br /> norbert</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User_4754088 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I agree with Matt. I use a Think Tank Hydrophobia on my D4 when shooting sports in the rain. It kept my camera and 300mm lens plenty dry in a driving rainstorm when I was covering a soccer game. An hour and a half in down pour conditions, no problem.

ellis_vener_photography Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 ThinkTANK Photo Hydrophobia here for me too. I've used mine in hard, driving rainstorms in summer and winter. I've even used one to protect a D3s used as a remote camera, mounted on a tripod, triggered by a PocketWizard MultiMAX in intervalometer mode, set out in a really bad rain storm to document flooding from a construction site for a client.
