Did Well In a Diverse Climate
on April 10, 2020
Posted by: Nick
I bought this shell before a trip to Iceland. I choose the large size for a Nikon D5100 with a Sigma superzoom lens. While the cover was too big for the equipment, I actually preferred this. The extra space allowed my hand to be inside the cover operating the controls while it poured rain in windy conditions. I have a shoulder strap that screws into the bottom of the camera body so it was in a good position for hiking in rain. My only complaint is the cover would slip off the end of the lens and crop into the corners of my shot. If I forgot to lock the lens prior to installing the cover, I would have to find shelter to take it off and try again.

This product is pretty good

I think the shell is ok. It is effective at doing its job, but it is very difficult to put on. There is either too much room or too little. Then when you out on a lens hood it slips down. I think a second run at designing this would certainly refine how it functions. The sizing is also a little confusing as well.

Great camera cover

The few of my photographer friends that have camera covers have covers that are bulky, some very bulky. I was about to purchase a cover that was suggested by another photographer when I received a Peak Design promo on the pd cover. It looked much better in design and more user friendly than what I was about to purchase. I purchase the large cover and it carries in my bag really well, is easy to put on the camera quickly and is user friendly in use.

Fantastic camera cover
on September 26, 2019

I take my cameras backcountry backpacking and I can't let the weather stop me from being ready for a good photo. This cover, combined with the Capture Clip on my backpack, made 5 days in Glacier National Park in Sept 2019 with tons of rain a total non-issue. I do wish there was a size in between the small and the medium to make using the camera easier while keeping the cover on in the rain. On a Fuji X-T2/3 it fits nice and tight... but its so perfect I found shooting with it on being challenging. However, I didn't worry about moisture on the camera at any time except in the heaviest soaking rain which only last a short while.
Having the ability to photograph the changing weather in the mountains while keeping the gear dry was fantastic.

Not just for rain!

I purchased the Shell in medium for my Nikon D600 with a 24mm prime lens to take on a three-day riding trip in the Sierra Nevada. I could not have chosen a better way to protect my camera, which I had attached to the Slide strap and clipped to my belt with the Pro Pad/Capture clip. I have gotten more dust on my camera trying to take photos in my back yard than I did on this trip, which was very dusty at times. It worked great! I was able to get on and off the horse without any problems and always had the camera handy. Highly recommend!

Love this shell!

Photo walks in poor weather conditions? Hang your camera on the capture clip and toss on the shell! Works perfectly to keep your camera protected, but easily accessible. It might not be too convenient for on-the-go shooting.. but as someone who does a lot of night time/long-exposure photography, it's quite easy to use while the camera is mounted on a tripod.
