If like me you need to use your camera in rain/snow and are sick of dealing with easily ripped garbage bags and tape, then you might find this interesting. I ordered this late last week and it came in on Monday. I wanted an Aquatech, but it came down to paying $200 for the Aquatech and getting something that is limited to one or two lens combinations or spending $30 on the Lightware and getting something that will fit anything from my 70-200 to a 600. You know, for when I get one...in the distant, distant future.
First thing that cought me off guard is how big the thing is.
It's really big. I guess it has to be if they advertise it to fit a 600mm.
The front of it cinches using a bungie. Looks like the bungie is real easy to replace if it comes down to that. It also has a reflective strip around the entire front perimeter for visibility. When you're you know, taking pictures, while biking, on a rainy evening.
It also has velcro running the entire length of the cover. It can be totally opened up from end to end making it pretty easy to attach.
Roughly in the middle is a loop that goes around the lens mount to keep the cover securely attached to your setup.
Her it is actually attached.
Here is what it looks like on a tripod. I will be using it on a monopod, but for illustration purposes a tripod was used. The velcro allows for plenty of adjustment, you can easily open it up enough to get your hand up there or have it real snug around the pod.
And here's what you see inside. There is enough material hanging off the back to cover the back and sides of my head.
Overall, very well made and definitely useful.
