cover designed for quick deployment, as the photographer can pre-mount it when inclement weather threatens and then quickly enclose and protect their camera body and large lens. Knowing that photographers still need to change batteries and memory cards, and shoot vertically and horizontally, even while being pounded by the elements, Hydrophobia’s design lets them create, in essence, a sealed and yet small and lightweight workspace beneath the cover.

\nPre-mount Your Rain Cover For Quick Deployment
\nWith Think Tank Photo\u2019s Hydrophobia\u2122<\/b>
\n
\nSanta Rosa, Calif. \u2013 Think Tank Photo announces the release of Hydrophobia\u2122 300 – 600, the first rain cover specifically designed to be pre-mounted for quick deployment. When in the field, where inclement weather can destroy a shot or gear, photographers need a simple and hassle free system for immediately deploying a rain cover to protect their SLRs and lenses.
\n
\n\tWhen it appears it may rain, photographers attach the Hydrophobia over their lenses before going out into the field, rolling it up tight and out of the way. Then, when weather threatens, they simply unroll the rain cover over the rest of the lens and body, securely protecting both. The rain cover fits onto a 300 f2.8, 400 f2.8, 500 f4, and 600 f4, making it ideally suited for sports and nature photographers.
\n\tHydrophobia comes with two extended sleeves through which photographers insert their arms to access all of their camera controls. It allows them to shoot vertically in either direction, and they can add a teleconverter to the lens by simply unzipping the back. (Eyepieces for different camera models are sold separately.)
\n\tThe fabric used on the Hydrophobia is ten times as waterproof as normal fabric. Instead of a \u201cspray\u201d coating, a \u201cfilm\u201d is applied to the underside of the fabric, as well as a tricot mesh to protect it, making it a far more impenetrable three-layer fabric. In addition a waterproof tape is applied to all seams, providing an even more waterproof barrier.
\n \tOther key features include:
\n
\n\u2022\tClear PU back and top to see controls.
\n\u2022\tMemory cards and batteries can be changed without taking the cover off.
\n\tFor professionals and amateur SLR shooters who can\u2019t afford to lose a shot or to have their cameras and lenses damaged, the Hydrophobia 300 – 600 is a powerful new tool for getting the shot in even the roughest conditions.
