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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can this rain shield be used with a manual lens where you need to put a second hand in to adjust focus?

A: Yes, this Ruggard Fabric Rain Shield Small can accommodate a DSLR equipped with a manual focus lens.

Q: 2. Please advise size required for a Lumix G95 and 100-300mm lens?

A: The correct size of the Ruggard Fabric Rain Shield Medium for a Lumix G95 mirrorless camera and the Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm f/4-5.6 II POWER O.I.S. Lens is the Medium.

Q: 3. 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.

A: 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.

Q: 4. What size should I get ? I have a Nikon D850 with a Nikon 200-500 zoom glass. Small, medium or large ?

A: Get the Ruggard Fabric Rain Shield Medium (17") BH #RURCFC717 for the Nikon D850 and the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR Lens.

Q: 5. Would this fit an Ursa Mini Pro?

A: I am not familiar with your hardware. I got it specifically for Canon 5D3 with the 100-400 L lens, and it is sized for such a combination. They are offered in different sizes and B&H should be able to assist in choosing the right size.

Q: 6. Would this accommodate Sony FX3 with XLR handle? Concerned about height. Lens is PZ 28-135. Thanks

A: Yes, the Ruggard Fabric Rain Shield Medium (17") can accommodate the Sony FX3 Full-Frame Cinema Camera with XLR handle and Sony FE PZ 28-135mm f/4 G OSS Full-Frame Power Zoom Lens.

Q: 7. Will this work on a Sony a7sII? I'll be changing lenses: anything from a 28mm prime to a 70-200 zoom.

A: The cover is larger than I would need for my Nikon D7200.However, I am very pleased that the helpful B & H sales person convinced me that larger is better than smaller. I chose the medium size rather than the small size specifically to give myself extra surface area for rain protection. It is large enough to insert both of my hands. It is also large enough for longer lenses (up to 15 ). I am extremely pleased with the service, information and product I purchased. In addition, I will add that I visited B & H photo specifically because I saw the store through the bus window (I was visiting NY from Oregon). I crossed the Hudson River on the New Jersey ferry the next day to specifically visit B & H. All of my state's major photo supply stores have disappeared from convenient locations. It was such an exciting pleasure to walk into B & H and see the humongous inventory they stock. I also received stellar information and purchase guidance concerning the video equipment I need to purchase in the near future. Thank you, Stoimen Vassilev in the video department for spending so much time with me to make it clear exactly what I need to purchase. Thank you for instantly emailing me a summary of all the gear I want. And thank you for immediately sending me a brief email so say hi and establish a way for me to communicate with you personally. I am delighted that I have found such a rich source for all my photography and video equipment for the future. Free shipping is such a beautiful thing...! Randy H.

Better than just a large clear bag/baggy. Looks professional and will protect better my equipment. �The pull cords help keep the cover in place and will be better for rain or windy rain. There is an opening for the tripod as well as the opening for the lens in front and the LCD screen in back. �Bought a small for shorter lenses and the medium for telephotos that extend.

I have not used it yet in rain, but I tried it on my Sony A7rII camera with an 85mm lens, and it seemed just right. Good fit, and it should work also with longer lens. Good design and good value.

Southern California has been in a drought until recently when it started raining. So I didn't have a rain cover for my camera. I wanted to document the rain to post on social media, but I had to remain under the eves of the roof or on a porch. I tried a towel over the camera, but that didn't work very well. So I finally got a Ruggard Medium Rain Shield. When it rained last night, I rushed out at 2:30 am with my Canon 70D and 18-135mm lens safely protected. I was hand holding, so I put my left hand through the bottom (tripod) opening of the cover, and my right hand through the rear opening, so I was holding it normally. Only the lens hood got wet since it was tapered and the draw strings would not stay on it--they slid off the back. I was very happy with this purchase and now ready to venture into more rain storms. The photo is what I took while it was raining last night with some Photoshop lens flares added.

Well made with plenty of room to operate camera.

As others have mentioned in their ratings the cover slides off the lens hood during zooming because there is nothing to keep in place while zooming.  However, I have found that if you do not tighten the front draw string up tight around the lens barrel the lens zooms freely and unobstructed while the rest of the lens and camera that are not waterproof still remain protected.   You may have to work with it a little depending on your setup, but all in all it it worth the money and does work.  It makes rainy sporting events far less worrisome. Love it!   Still 5 stars!

I own a Nikon D500 and currently my only lens is a 70-200mm. I needed something that would protect this expensive set up from rain and sea spray and this definitely fits this sized setup.

I haven't had a chance to use it yet. After fitting it on my D810, it is clear that it will work just fine. It does not weigh very much or take up much space when folded. I already put in my bag to have it on hand just in case.

Nice, affordable alternative to the Canon ones. Made from beefy material, and super easy to attach to the camera.

I bought a medium ( 17) for my 70-300 zoom lens set up which measures 15.5 total ( extended ) from of the lens hood to back of camera body.  Love it works great!  I have no issues with rotating the zoom from outside the cover or operating the camera from the back opening in the cover.
