***** I cannot reply to your comment for whatever reason, but to answer your question - Not at all, I have no problems using my zoom ring at all when installed in the hydrophobia.
Thanks for this. And don't forget a good U/V Filter when doing this. I am not a "use a U/V 100% of the time person, but if I'm going out in the rain, or someone was going to be hurling colored dust at me, I will definitely strap one on. What I advise people in my camera club is consider the risk / reward of using your gear in the rain. On that rainy day at the 5K/soccer game/outdoor concert will the photos be worth the risk to your gear. If you are being paid, great, but I have seen many amateur risk expensive gear for lousy photos. Often claiming, pro gear is waterproof, It'll be fine... And, can a compact waterproof camera take the place of the DSLR that day?
I found it funny that one of your gripes was about image viewing on the back -- then to find the Hoodman was the answer. Your 'young' eyes will start failing around 35 or so and you'll not be able to read that newspaper without readers.. So the Hoodman is a per-requisite for most of us older folk.. Either way indispensable piece of kit.. The ONE thing you didn't mention, and may not be aware of is ThinkTank's warranty work (if ever needed) and how they deal with you. I can tell you first hand this company is without doubt ' The Best Warranty in the Business ' bar none. Their customer support and no bullshit way of dealing with people just is second to none. A very important thing when we're talking 100's or 1000's in kit and it's protection.
Seth, we are getting lonely over here in England, when will you be getting time to share more videos ? great stuff, keep them coming. Cheers
Thanks for the review Seth. I've been thinking of getting the Hydrophobia 300-600 for my Nikon 400 2.8.

Nice review Seth, it's too bad they charge extra for the eyepiece, that's pretty weak. Great video, keep them coming!
so the viewfinder area gets wet? WITH the piece you NEED to buy from think tank? how wet did it get>?
I had no problems with the think tank products hydrophobia 300-600 is excellent and well worth investing in as cameras and lenses are not cheap
Thanks for your effort and time! Good man.

I absolutely love ThinkTank, so I fully agree with you on that. Their customer service is amazing and they treat you so well over there.
