Works very well easy, quick to use
A very good emergency or occasional use rain cover. Trial by water this week. Driving rain in 15-20mph winds with gusts to 30+ mph and mid 30 degree temperatures. Quickly and easily covered a Nikon D850 with battery grip and Peak Design hand grip using a 70-200 f/2.8. The rain covers' clip that uses the hot shoe mount was very secure and never loosened over several hours of use. Large clear window worked great for viewing rear screen. A small challenge to reach zoom ring on the 70-200. But easy enough to use once fingers found the ring. All this wearing lightweight cool weather gloves. When back to the car to switch to the 24-120 lens there were only three issues that came to light. 1. With the shorter lens the extra fabric could end up in the frame. But once pulled back away from front of lens it remained out of the way. 2. the 24-120 is not an internal zoom lens. So there's more effort and hand movement required to zoom in or out. Now limited space in the cover for the left hand becomes constricting. Problem solved by simply pulling and pushing lens via the lens hood. 3. The inside surface of the rain cover where it is meant to fit snug to the front of the lens or lens hood has a kind of grippy texture. This could be lot grippier. Otherwise, I am very pleased with this Think Tank product. As I have been with all their products to date.

You May Get Wet, But Your Camera Won’t
There are floor mats and windshield wipers for cars, umbrellas and raincoats for people (or even dogs) so why would you want your camera to get soaked?You wouldn’t. So put a rain jacket on it to keep it dry and keep on shooting. Simple.Your camera costs $1000, $2000, or more, so why wouldn’t you spend $25 or $30 to keep the sophisticated electronics functioning?

It's a good compact rain cover.
I have to be honest, I hate all slr rain covers. They're a pain, but they are a necessity. This one is compact, fits in a neat little pouch that doesn't take up a lot of room iny bag of gear. It does it's job well, it's reasonably priced and is quick and easy to put on. It'll cover my 1Dx with an attached 70-200 2.8, but it won't fit lenses much bigger than that I don't think.

A little tricky to put on
Well designed & easy to use. Adequate rain protection, although I've not used it in a downpour. It's a little tricky to put on, so start with the first few drops of rain.

Shoot Sony? Get this to protect your gear.
It might seem expensive for what it is, but it's far more reliable than a plastic shopping bag and far cheaper than replacing expensive, allegedly weather-sealed gear (you know what I'm talking about, Sony shooters). The medium is great size for a Sony a7/a9 and 70-200 mm lens (hood attached) combo. There's enough room to cover your hand and wrist and enough slack in the material to use the zoom ring without issue. The hot shoe mount is a really smart feature because it keeps everything in place. Be sure to change FINDER/MONITOR to Monitor (Manual) because the cover sometimes sets off the EVF sensor, blacking out the monitor screen. It's under MENU>CAM 2>Page 6 of 9 on an a7 iii.

Good product, but not all Mirrorless cams are the same size
Great product, love Think Tank, in general. I needed this for a monsoon photo workshop, this was the recommended cover for what we needed. I am on Panasonic mirrorless (no, not everyone is a Sony shooter!), and the medium size was just WAAAY too huge for my product, even with my biggest lens on. Happy to report that the SMALL size was far better suited to my mirrorless. Otherwise, the product is a handy and easily used one. Love that it hooks onto the camera via the hot shoe, which keeps it nice and anchored.

Camera stays nice and dry
If I was trying to manually focus, I might have had a problem, but with autofocus, it kept the lens and camera nice and dry while I looked through the plastic window.

Think Tank gear rocks! Works on 5dMk4 with 100-400mm lens.
Works on 5dMk4 with 100-400mm lens. I own two bags from Think Tank and have been really, really happy with their products so I took a chance on this. Like everything Think Tank, it is well made and well thought out. I think the hot shoe attachment keeps it in place.

Expensive, but cheaper than a ruined lens or camera
A bit fiddly to use with the back cover down, the view through the 'clear' plastic when using the optical finder. Of you use the rear display, it's acceptable. If it's not torrential, just pop.it up when using the camera.I bought mine after a £400 repair bill from a soaked camera body, and £200 on a soggy lens.If you are a sports/wildlife/press photographer, it could save you from some hefty bills.I've used this model with everything from an ultra wide lens to a 300mm, and would probably work well with longer.No facility to use flash on the camera, but you would end up with overlit blobs once the rain is heavy enough for the camera to get it's personal cagoule anyway2019 on the UK was a wet year, and this gadget has helped with lots of weather stories for newspapers.

Keeps my camera dry, but...
The cover has a transparent plastic sheet to show your display and controls and fogs up quite easily due to condensation.

Bonne protection et fonctionnelle
Je l'ai utilisé quelques fois et c'est une bonne achat pour protéger son équipement dans des situations de pluie ou neige.
