Protect Your Camera From Rain, On The Cheap

[Jeff Colburn]

It’s that time of year when Monsoons are dumping rain all over Arizona. That’s also the time I’m outside trying to get some lightning photographs. It was always a challenge to protect my equipment from the rain without buying some expensive gear. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money for rain protection that I only need for one month out of the year. Then I found the Rainsleeve OP/TECH USA Rainsleeve 18" - Set of 2 - The NatureScapes.Net Store. It’s only $5.99 for two, with no sales tax and free shipping.



My Rainsleeves arrived today, and they’re great. There’s a hole in the back I can put around my eyepiece, while still keeping a watertight seal, and it’s made from a heavier gauge plastic than I was expecting. Check it out.


Have Fun,
Jeff
