Think Tank Hydrophobia 300-600
The Hydrophobia rain covers from Think Tank are designed to protect your valuable photo equipment from the elements during active use. Keep shooting in the rain, snow or blowing sand. The Hydrophobia gives you peace of mind that you can capture the moment in almost any weather! The Hydrophobia 300-600 is sized for a pro size DSLR with a super telephoto lens attached.
Please note: A Hydrophobia Eyepiece is required for this product, and is sold separately.
The Hydrophobia 300-600 v2.0 pre-mounts to the lens hood to be quickly deployed during inclement weather. If bad weather is intermittent, the rain cover can stay in the pre-mounted position but pulled out to cover the camera when needed. The rain cover can be attached while the DSLR is attached to the lens. To deploy from the pre-mounted position, loosen the red elastic cord at the bottom, then simply pull the rain cover fabric out from underneath the flap. Pull the fabric completely over the lens and the camera, attaching the neoprene eyepiece collar around the eyepiece. Finally, close the weatherproof zipper at the bottom and cinch the elastic cord tightly around the monopod.
A specially designed eyepiece is required for the use and proper attachment of the Hydrophobia rain cover. The eyepiece allows a clear view, straight through to the camera's viewfinder, while keeping a water resistant seal. There are five different eyepieces to choose from, three for Canon and two for Nikon DSLRs. To browse the eyepieces and check compatibility, check the related items in this section.
An eyepiece flap can be folded over the Hydrophobia eyepiece when the camera is not is use. The flap prevents any droplets from falling into the viewfinder and obscuring vision when ready to shoot. An eyepiece pocket is built into the side of the Hydrophobia rain cover which can be used to store the Hydrophobia eyepiece when the rain cover is packed away, or it can carry the DSLR's rubber eyecup while the rain cover is actively being used. Look for the eye-shaped icon on the Hydrophobia.
The Hydrophobia 300-600 v2.0 now offers a larger clear window on the back for an increased view of camera and LCD screen. There is also enough room inside the rain cover to change memory cards and batteries without exposing the camera to the elements. Version 2.0 also features a tethered lens hood cover to keep moisture or debris from hitting the front lens element, while the camera is not being used.
The right and left hand sleeves of the Hydrophobia are strategically placed to allow full control of the camera and lens functions, including manually focusing the lens. The arm sleeves are both oversized to accommodate bulky outer clothing and gloves during extreme weather.
A 600mm lens extension sleeve is included for use with a 600 f4 or 800 f5.6 lens, and a mesh carrying bag is also included for transportation and storage.
