Hello again! Is the weather outside frightful? Don't stop imaging just
because it's raining.
Hi this is Izzy from Digital Goja showrooms and today we're going to take
a look at the Altura Photo raincover 2-pack. Don't stop imaging cause of the
weather.

Now, this is made out of durable, ultra clear plastic, it's reusable and it's
meant to accommodate any DSLR with up to an 18" lens. I always recommend using
a lens hood because that gives you more stability when it comes to closing it
and you notice that you have the zip tie here that locks it in place and again
these guys are reusable, not forever, but you can use it multiple times because
they're made, again, ultra-clear durable plastic and they come in a two-pack.
Let's take a look and see how easy it is to put these guys to use. Alright, so now
we're going to put it on a very popular camera, this is the EOS Rebel T6s
and notice that I have it with the 18-135 very popular kit lens and I put the
lens hood on. Very important, I always want the lens hood to give you that extra
connection and protection when you're working with the Altura raincover. We're
going to slip it into here, very simple to do
and this is going to allow me to now pull the drawstring nice and close to the
lens just outside the lens hood. So notice when I pulled the drawstring there and
clasp it in place I can still zoom, but it's going to keep the lens nice and
protected. So again, you want to make sure this is nice and taunt. Don't care about if it
hangs around it now you can just tie it around you choose to you can do a number
like that but the important thing is that this is going to protect the lens
and you can do your zooming and not have the issue of it getting wet.
See? I'm zooming back and forth, but the lens is staying within the Altura rain cover.
And, because of the fact that it's a full clear plastic, I have full access to my
touch screen, look at this, I can actually touch focus, I can do my settings, I can
do everything right through a touchscreen and still be able to have
the protection of the Altura Rain cover. Now let's take a look and see how
this works with larger lenses and also with a tripod. Now here we go,
I'm using a much larger lens now, I actually put on here that new 50-100
that Sigma came out with, it's not quite 18 inches in length but it is considerably
larger than the standard lens that this camera comes with, so and you can see,
it's a big one.
So now I'm going to go ahead and use the Altura rain cover protector, notice how
easily this just slips right through and they give you enough room so that
you can slip it all the way down to where your tripod is
so that way you can even cover most of the tripod and again work with the lens
hood. I prefer that, even though this lens doesn't extend, there we go
always close the zip tie here and lock it in place. Look at that, you have plenty of room
here,
this guy is still able to zoom in and out even though again this is not one
that's going to extend, this internal zooming and internal focusing. But, the
beauty of it is that you have plenty of room to work with. And, you activate
your camera, turn on your live view and as I showed before you can still work
with the touchscreen and again this being ultra clear you have a perfect
view of whatever you want to image, whether you're doing video or stills, so
again, if you are afraid of going out in the rain and I understand you want to
protect your expensive equipment there's no need to anymore.
Get ahold of the Altura Photo raincover 2-pack that way you have a second one
in case you want to share with a friend.
Happy shooting!
