Ruggard RC-FC717 Overview

Protect your camera from the rain, dust and mud with the easy-to use, lightweight, Medium, 17", Fabric Rain Shield from Ruggard. This rain shield offers full access to your camera's controls and viewfinder and is designed to accommodate a DSLR with lens up to 15" long and up to 8" in diameter.

Tighten the front cinch cord around your lens hood for a tight, customized and secure fit. Tripod users will appreciate the touch-fastening fabric opening located underneath the shield that conforms to the tripod's shape. A rear cinch cord helps protect the back of the camera from the elements depending upon the size of the camera, and is especially useful for those occasions when the camera isn't being used. Included with the shield is a zippered storage pouch with an attached belt clip. For strength and durability the shield is made of 210D ripstop nylon.

Fits over Camera and Lens
The Rain Shield is designed to fit a camera and lens combination measuring 15" from the rear of the camera body to the front of the lens. Use with a lens hood is recommended so the rain shield can offer complete protection to the front of the lens.
Water Resistant
When shooting in inclement weather, this rain shield will protect your camera and lens from rain, snow, and moisture. Water-resistant 210D ripstop nylon ensures that moisture won't reach your camera.
Adjustable Bungee Closures
The adjustable bungee closures assure a snug fit so water or moisture can't reach the camera or lens. With enough extra room, the closures can completely surround the camera and lens when not in use or when the weather is too bad to shoot.
Handheld or Tripod Use
The Rain Shield can be used during handheld shooting, or while mounted on a tripod. The convenient bottom opening is designed to fit over a tripod mount
Carry Pouch
The included carry pouch conveniently hangs from your belt or camera bag so you can take your rain shield anywhere and be prepared to use it anytime.

This is a well made rain shield, using quality feeling material and offering solid workmanship. Flexible to protect your equipment on or off tripod, with wide angle or mid range telephoto lenses. Hasn't rained on me yet, but the season is coming.

Excellent Product

Would any of these Ruggard Rain Shields work with a Sony PXW-X70 camcorder? I've looked at the listed accessories on the X70 page but aren't crazy about any of them. Thanks.
Asked by: Bob
Though it isn't necessarily made for the Sony PXW-X70, it will cover it and it will work to protect it when shooting in the rain.

My Canon R5 with RF 100-500mm extended measures ...

My Canon R5 with RF 100-500mm extended measures 17" from back of eyepiece to front of lens hood. Measured to the back of the lens hood it is 14". Is this Medium size the right one?
Asked by: Richard
Either the medium or large would be a half-decent choice, but it'll be up to your preference. The medium should fit snugly and can also be used cinched half-way on the hood rather than all the way. The large can be semi-scrunched up in order to accommodate a slightly shorter lens.
