Found an interesting new rain cover for Canon, Nikon, and likely other cameras

I just ran across this on Amazon. They come in two packs at a very reasonable price, so maybe disposable? They  are all clear plastic and will even fit a speedlite or flash control transmitter on top of the camera as well as being 18" long to fit a long telephoto lens. I haven't bought these yet, but I am considering them. The camera raincoat that I have now will fit my Godox X Pro flash transmitters, but not an attached speedlite. It does fit my Tamron 18-400 mm lens on my Canon 90D camera and X Pro transmitter though. I carry 1 gallon Hefty Zip Lock plastic bags to pull over my speedlites  when in the rain and they are attached to light stands.

$8 bucks is a good price and seeing these can be folded up and stuffed in your bag for emergency, these make good insurance

I posted about other more sturdy versions, but they didn't have the ability to hold a speedlite as well as the camera. An Amazon search should bring up both versions. I have, and have used the heavier duty version. One is in each camera bag now.

Awesome timing, we head to Hawaii next month and I plan on heading into rain forests there.  Very wet last time there, this will be handy. Thank you for posting!
