Waterproof Camera Covers

[CaptainPenguin]

Last night in the snow at Albion Rovers persuaded me tht I need a waterproof camera and lens cover for the 60D and Tamron 70-200, anybody got any suggestions for what is best

The best IMO is the Think Tank Hydrophobia range

Hello!

I'm no expert on the 'bigger stuff', but I always use Aquapac for keeping my electronics clean and dry on expeditions and they've always proven to be brilliant.

I know they have camera covers, but that's where my knowledge ends I'm afraid

I've got a few Op-Tech Rainsleeves, which were about a fiver a pair, and they are pretty good. They are roughly the correct shape of the camera and they do one for a flash on camera too. I've used the same one about half a dozen times now and it's still as good as new.

The Think Tank range may well be a lot better but they are also a lot more expensive, but maybe worth it if you're out regularly in bad weather. For me, usually when it rains I stay in and watch it from my window... I don't like getting wet.

I used these guys below, but the optec rain covers do the job. Another option if you like DIY and you have an old pair of waterproof trousers is to make your own.
