I haven't had a chance to put it through it's test but from the build quality I'm sure it will pass. The size is large enoughand the fabric seems it will last a long time... I'm happy!

Keep Shooting When The Weather Turns Wet

By David

Had a chance to put this to use shooting an Ultimate Frisbee game and found it to work quite well. Its design seems a little more suited to tripod use, but I found it to work well enough for handheld, too. It just seemed that placing both hands under the cover was not the intended optimal use as the reach down to the lens barrel was a bit confined. Most of my shooting is on a tripod anyway, so I intend to keep this in my bag for general emergency rain scenarios. I really like the eyepiece integration that lets you look directly through the camera eyepiece rather than having to look through a clear plastic layer in the cover. I found the eyepiece did tend to fog up quickly if I kept my eye at the eyepiece continually, but that was more a consequence of the wet weather and would happen with or without the Ruggard cover. I guess I really need to try the rain covers with the arm access sleeves design (e.g. Ruggard DSLR Parka or Think Tank Hydrophobia) to compare designs and render a final opinion, but as an emergency rain cover for unexpected wet weather, this rain cover from Ruggard makes a solid general-purpose solution.

This is a lot nicer than what I replaced it with, which while specifically designed as a camera/lens rain cover, was just a cheap clear plastic bag with drawstring. This is very nice and use-able. It comes with a variety pf eyepieces that connect the rain cover to your viewfinder and one of them fits well on my Nikon D5600.

Nice price

Is there any reason other than the eyecup not fitting that this would NOT fit a Fuji X-T4 w/telephoto lens?
Asked by: Ian
This will fit the x1 4 physically yes but the eyepiece will not fit making it difficult to see through the finder. You could use this which would allow quick access to it.. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1249877-REG/ruggard_rc_fc714_fabric_rain_shield_small.html And also for an affordable rain option for Fuji see also this option with a clear plastic back panel... https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1500839-REG/movo_photo_crc01_waterproof_nylon_rain_cover.html?sts=pi&pim=Y

Will the eye piece work with a Nikon Z7 or Z6? Thanks.
Asked by: andy
I have not actually tried this out in the rain, but pulled both devices (rain cover and Z7) out to check this out. The rain cover has a round eyepiece opening, and the Z7 has a semi-rectangular opening. So, my conclusion is that the two are not a direct match. Would it do in a pinch...probably.

question

does this fit a Nion D90?
Asked by: Hunter
Yes, it's very loose fitting. The big issue is it's designed for long Zoom Lenses (200-500). Needs to be 6 plus to fit properly!

Will the eyepiece adapter work with a Nikon D850 ?
Asked by: Wayne
The Ruggard Fabric Camera Rain Cover (Black) #RC-FC500B is for Nikon and Canon cameras that have a square eyepiece so it is not compatible with the D850 which has a round eyepiece. This Vortex Storm Jacket could be used with the D850 instead: https://bhpho.to/3Ca0pch
