Think Tank fights Mother Nature - and wins

Think Tank Photo has just made it easier for Nikonians shooting in rainy conditions to protect their Nikon cameras and lenses.

ThinkTankVideo.jpgThey have just announced the release of the Hydrophobia 300-600, which adds quick deployment features while helping soggy photographers protect their gear during shooting, switching memory cards and replacing batteries.

The Think Tank Hydrophobia 300-600 has been in development for the past 18 months, and you can see the results in a series of videos. Make sure you check out their blooper segment.

According to our Think Tank experts: The fabric used on the Hydrophobia is ten times as waterproof as normal fabric. Instead of a "spray" coating, a "film" 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.

If this new rain-fighter has caught your eye-- Don't forget: Nikonians enjoy the extra advantage of a free gift when placing their orders from Think Tank Photo.
