Peak Design Black Shell Small Form-Fitting Rain and Dust Cover

The Peak Design Small Rain cover is a great weather protector for my camera.First, my setup is a Sony RX10 Mark 2 with the Matin Deluxe Neoprene Comfort Strap with Quick Release (JU0160). I also have the Sony LCJRXE/B Premium Jacket Case that works well with the Matin neck strap.The Peak Design Shell is designed to work best with the Peak Design neck straps. This is apparent when I tried to slide the quick release buckles of the Matin strap through the strap slots in the Peak Design Shell. The Matin buckles did not fit, so I cut an incision in the Peak Design Shell just large enough for the Matin buckles to fit through. I did this because the Peak Design Rain Shell does not fit inside the Sony Premium Jacket case while attached to the camera. You have to slide the Peak Design Rain Shell off the Sony RX10ii to put it in the Sony Jacket Case. I do this because the Sony Jacket case offers more protection (more padding) when walking around. So I have to switch between the Jacket Case and the Rain Shell, and while a hassle, is acceptable for me. I need a different case depending on my activity and weather.I would recommend the Peak Design Shell Rain Cover, size small, for the Sony RX10 Mark 2. The Shell Rain cover works best with Peak Design straps, but can work with others with little or no modification. For a day outing, this case is great. I purchased this case for a 10 day backpacking trip where weight is a premium. This case is very light and gives me the weather protection I wanted. The Sony RX10 M2 is weather "resistant", and I wanted to give my $1200 camera the extra advantage of the Peak Design Rain Shell cover. I have already had the camera and case out in a rain storm (good downpour). Case was wet on the outside, and the camera had only slight dampness, and that was where the camera was touching me or where I put my wet hands on the camera trying to take photos in the rain. I think Peak Design should make the strap slots a little larger to accommodate buckles of other straps, but that is my only complaint.

Nice compact raincoat for your camera. I used this with a Nikon Z7 II with a 24–120 lens. Worked fine. The only issue was getting the shoulder strap connectors through the openings in the cover.

Well built cover that looks pretty waterproof. It'd have been nice if it came with a carry bag or even a strap to attach it to something when it's not in use. The small size covers an A7iii with SEL24mmf1.4 lens, with some room to spare. This is a prime lens, not a zoom. The main problem is that since this cover is designed to be used with one of their carrying attachments, even when I cinch the straps around the camera body as tight as they will go, part of the bottom of the camera is not covered. So for rain protection I would have to carry my camera parallel to the ground and hope that water didn't track in underneath or come in at the other end where the shell is open for the lens (I could not completely cinch closed the shell at the lens end, either). There is apparently a way to fish the two peak design attachment points that I have on my camera through the shell so that I can continue to use the neck strap, but that doesn't look like it's an easy or fast process.

I received the Peak Designs cover for my camera and tossed it in my pack despite the sun shining on the way out the door for a hike. I was glad I did! As the day progressed and my hike grew longer, it started raining. Slipping the (size small) cover on my Sony a6500 with a Sony 18-105mm was easy and it fit very well with just a slight overhang in the front protecting the front edge of the lens. Functionally, this is a true cover which does not provide a lot of side access ports for your hands, but after reading other comments on those same sock-like covers I felt the Peak Designs would be better constructed and still provide sufficient access. I still feel that way. The way the cover is constructed it leads you to want another Peak Designs innovation--that being their standard connections for straps--those same connections fit easily through the small access holes on the top/sides of the cover. It is easy to mix and match straps and the cover with little effort, giving great flexibility in all shooting situations.Peak Designs products may cost more... but I am finding them well constructed, durable, comfortable, and more essential than I thought they might be.Thanks!

I have a Sony A7R IV, and it wasn't super clear which size to buy; the description made it seem like small would work for mirrorless cameras. It definitely wasn't the right size, but I opted not to trade it for the next size up because once I saw it, I didn't think it would suit my needs. It seemed like the cover was more for transport than for actually operating in wet conditions, because I dunno how you're supposed to shoot without easy access to the back of the camera. If you have to lift the whole back to access the controls, seems to me like it rather defeats the purpose of having the cover in the first place.
