Great lightweight case

Great lightweight case Seems well made and good materials (time will tell) I often carry my Sony A6000 with a zoom lens around my neck for easy access, and have been looking for a case that offers some padding as well as weather and dust protection. Most of what I tried was too bulky and slow for the camera to use. This Peak Design suitcase was exactly what I was looking for.

Pros
  • Nice item
Cons
  • I will add later

Well made product, fits accessory

I love this product! It's been on my watch list for about a year and I finally hit the buy button! Protects the camera perfectly. Other reviews mentioned that it was too bulky to shoot, but you have to keep in mind that the main concern is keeping the camera dry. I now feel much more comfortable taking my camera outside knowing I have a way to protect it from the weather.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

work with him via accessories

Of all the cases I've researched, I found this one to be the best. It's lightweight, has a nice design, and is a little tricky to use. So 4 stars and not 5. I think that after working with him you can work quickly and efficiently. This is what I have seen as the best design in looks. and not look ugly or bulky. I have a Canon Rebel T5 with Tamron 70-300 and this shell works great. This lens is the maximum size I would choose for a body this size.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Necessary! on rain covers

This is great. I used it many times at my kids' soccer games last spring. And we just drove to Oregon and filmed it on camera two days in a row when we hiked a lot and it rained the whole time. This allows me to use my camera in the rain and not miss any of those moments because I don't want my camera to get wet. The material is very comfortable. Thick and very durable. I can say that it will accompany me for a long time. I'm very glad I have it!

Pros
  • Top marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • I can't fault that, everything is fine

Probably one of the most well thought out and thought out camera rain covers ever designed. However, it has no downsides as far as I can tell while using it. It even manages to be folded compactly, giving it more reason to live in your bag all the time. The medium size is perfect for a mirrorless camera like my Fujifilm X-T2 in combination with a 16-55mm ƒ/2.8 lens. It's a bit short with my 50-140mm ƒ/2.8 lens. Both the lenses and camera body are weatherproof, but the lid is there to keep…

Pros
  • Excellent value for money
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Very bulky to use (medium size with Fuji X-H1)

I'm a fan of Peak Design products and was looking for a rain cover to protect my camera when attached to a backpack strap. According to the description, this product is exactly what I was looking for. I bought a medium size for my Fuji X-H1. I only tested it with the 18-135 lens as all my other lenses are larger. The X-H1 at 18-135 is a fairly compact setup, but getting the cover on and off was very cumbersome. I was hoping I could just fold back the body of the cap and squeeze it over the lens

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • neutral

I love other Peak Design products but not this cover.

Anyone thinking about this should be aware that you cannot control the camera if the pad fully protects it. You need to fold the back panel up to reveal the camera body, take a photo, and then fold the back panel down. When I bought this product, this experience was not entirely obvious. Maybe I didn't do enough research, so I take some of the blame. However, marketing and images give the impression that the camera body has some protection when shooting, but I found it almost impossible to…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • May cause injury

Possibly one of the most sophisticated camera rain covers ever designed. However, it has no downsides as far as I can tell while using it. It even manages to fold down into a compact size, giving it more reason to live in your pocket all the time.

Pros
  • Includes 4-way stretch weatherproof fabric with taped seams to keep out rain, snow, dust and abrasion.
Cons
  • Not sure

Very cumbersome to handle (medium size with Fuji X-H1)

Pros
  • Absolute security: Fully closing for safe storage of the camera.
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Pros
  • Waterproof camera cover/hood works with Capture camera clip or separate mounting points.
Cons
  • Long delivery time
