15 ACCESSORIES TO PROTECT YOUR EQUIPMENT IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS

Today I come with accessories to protect your equipment and not miss a photographic occasion for fear of spoiling it. When you spend your savings or work the insufferable to achieve your first SLR and little by little you are doing with a team that accompanies you in your photographic adventure, the last thing you want is to suffer the minimum damage. This translates many times in which you are lazy to go out to take pictures on a rainy day, that you do not make the beautiful session of your children on the beach as you would like, that if on the next excursion you will spend near the water you will not dare to take it with you, etc. Has any of this happened to you? A pity, because adverse weather conditions are very photogenic, water an incredible opportunity and a pity that you can not move with ease and confidence in the places you would like. That's why I bring you this article.

ACCESSORIES TO PROTECT YOUR EQUIPMENT

1. BACKPACK

One of the first accessories you should think about. If your device is stored and moves from one place to another in the right backpack, you can save yourself more than a dislike. There are waterproof, anti-theft, with multiple sections, with more or less capacity. There is no ideal backpack for everyone, but there is an ideal backpack for you. Think about your needs, the size of your team and search. For now we leave with several ideas in case you fit any. A tiny and loving:

3. SHOULDER BAG

Maybe you are more of the type shoulder bag, as I said there is no ideal backpack for everyone, there is no perfect accessory. There will be someone who fits more a backpack or who better suits a shoulder bag or even a case. It depends on you, your team and your needs;). And it is more complete, to save the camera with up to three objectives:

4. CASE TO PROTECT TARGET

And since we talk about covers and other similar accessories for the camera, I present these cases or cases for the lenses. There are many types, as it is not the same to keep a 70-200mm TV, for example, than a fixed 50mm. That is why it is important that you check that the size is appropriate: Waterproof and padded shoulder bag for telephoto lens:

Neewer NW-L2070 Black Shoulder Bag Waterproof Case with Lens Strap 70-200mm Lens, such as Canon 70-200 / 2.8IS, 100-400, 180mm / Nikon 70-200, 80-400, 180-2.8 * - Electronics

5. PARASOL

Continuing with the objectives, there is another accessory that also protects them, although in this case from bumps and scratches on the lens or the sun when taking photos. It is the parasol . Here, what you have to look for when buying one is in the diameter of the objective. Important not to confuse the mm of diameter with the focal. In your objective the focal point will come, for example 50mm, but this Ø symbol will also come accompanied by a number and followed by «mm», that is the diameter, in which you have to look to buy your umbrella. I put for example one compatible with Canon 50mm 1.8, whose diameter, as it puts in the specifications, is 49mm.

6. FILTERS

To protect the target from bumps and scratches, you also have the filters. There are also many types, polarizers, neutral density, etc ... But if you are looking for protection, you usually use the UV filter. As with parasols, when purchasing one, consider the diameter. On the other hand, it is important that you buy a quality filter. Especially if you have an expensive objective and are looking for sharpness in the photos. Think that you are putting a glass in front of the target, if you put one of poor quality, it will be of no use to have a very good objective. This is 49 mm in diameter, to continue with the same example of the lens hood, but if you enter, you will see that it is available in different sizes:

11. THERMAL BLANKET

You may wonder why you want a thermal blanket ... You will need it if you think your team is going to have to stay in full sun for a long time and inevitably. If you cover it with this blanket you will reflect sunlight protecting the equipment. If you do not have, an aluminum foil can also be used as an improvised resource.

13. INSULATING TAPE

If you anticipate a session with a lot of dust or sand, I recommend you take a roll of duct tape with you to cover the slots.

14. AIRTIGHT PLASTIC BAG

Also, to insulate your equipment from drops of water or dust and sand, you can use airtight plastic bags such as those for freezing food or with a plastic bag without closing, putting some rubber bands on it.

15. CLEANING KIT

I leave it for the latter because if you have been in a "delicate" weather condition, even if you have taken precautions, it would not hurt if you returned to give you a cleaning check. Remove traces of sand or dust that may have sneaked in and make sure everything is very dry.
