Built for photographers who refuse to let weather dictate their shoot, the Vanguard ALTA RCM Rain Cape (Medium) delivers fast, reliable protection in unpredictable conditions—without slowing you down.

Designed as a simple yet highly effective rain solution, this medium-sized cover is perfectly suited for a DSLR with a 70–200mm f/2.8 lens attached, or similar setups up to 9.8 inches in total length. Its intuitive design allows you to deploy it instantly—just pull it from its pouch and drape it over your gear in seconds, ensuring you never miss the moment when the weather turns.

Unlike restrictive sleeve-style covers, the ALTA RCM features an open cape design, providing full accessibility to controls and accommodating different hand sizes—even when wearing gloves. This approach not only improves usability but also helps prevent condensation, ensuring clear visibility at all times.

A transparent TPU rear window allows you to maintain a clear view of your camera’s screen, controls, and viewfinder while shooting. The cover secures easily with hook-and-loop fasteners around the lens, while additional loops and cords help anchor it in place—preventing wind from lifting it during use.

Thoughtful design details extend to real-world usability. The cape can be used while your camera is mounted on a tripod or carried with a strap, and it includes an integrated accessory pocket beneath the viewing window for small essentials.

When not in use, the cover folds neatly into its included pouch, weighing just 0.19 lbs (80g) and measuring 23 5/8" x 23 5/8" when unfolded—making it easy to carry year-round without adding bulk.

Compact, practical, and ready in seconds, the ALTA RCM ensures your gear stays protected so you can stay focused on capturing the shot.
