Camera Parka Pro (Fish eye Lens)

CAD $159.99

Model Number: AT052

The Camera Parka Pro (Fish Eye Lens) is specifically designed for spending long period of time outside and/or extreme cold photography. Most effective when used with chemical heat warmers to save battery life (Chemical Heat Warmer Bags not included and optional).

The Camera Parka Pro (Fish Eye Lens) has two additional pull strings on the inside to shorten the lens sleeve to better fit short and/or small wide angle lenses. We recommend this parka for lenses with a diameter smaller that 80mm (3.1 in) and shorter than 80 mm (3.1 in).

The Camera Parka Pro (Fish eye Lens) will also fit the same lenses as the regular Camera Parka Pro- up to 100mm (3.9 in) in diameter and 135mm (5.3 in) in length.

Fits most DSLRs within these sizes: Width 160mm (6.3in), Height 130mm (5.1in), Depth 85mm (3.3in). Does NOT fit pro DSLRs Nikon D1 to 5 and Canon EOS 1D, and DLSRs with battery grips.

The Camera Parka Pro (Fish eye Lens) offers the same protection as the Camera Parka Pro. It has two additional pull strings on the inside to shorten the lens sleeve to better fit short and/or small wide angle lenses. We recommend this parka for lenses with a diameter smaller that 80mm (3.1 in) and shorter than 80 mm (3.1 in). The Camera Parka Pro (Fish eye Lens) will also fit the same lenses as the regular Camera Parka Pro- up to 100mm (3.9 in) in diameter and 135mm (5.3 in) in length. Protecting your DSLR and lenses from wind, humidity, frost or cold when spending long period of time outside or in extreme cold, and saving battery life is what the Camera Parka Pro (Fish eye Lens) is designed for. It is commonly used for timelapse photography and star trails so batteries last longer and don't need to be replaced half way through. Up North, cold creates frost on cameras, quickly drains batteries, can affect camera electronics (such as displays) and mechanical parts (the noise of a frozen shutter), and plastic gets hard and brittle at colder temperatures. A thermal layer of fabric adds extra insulation around the camera body, keep the cold out and the heat in. It is most effective when used in combination with chemical heat warmers (Chemical Heat Warmer Bags not included and optional). Main Features of the Camera Parka Pro (Fish eye Lens):

Protect against cold

Protect against wind chill

Protect against humidity, moisture and frost

Keep cold out and heat in

Extra pull strings on the inside to shorten the lens sleeve to better fit short lenses

Allow for easy access to all controls on cameras

Allow for easy manual focusing without removing the cover

Allow for use with a tripod

Keep hands warm when changing settings

Materials:

The outer shell is water repellent, durable and blocks wind at 99%. It is extremely abrasion resistant and protective without weight. It provides complete protection from wind, moisture and frost.

The inner layer is a double fleece providing insulation to the camera and warmth to the hands of the photographer changing the settings.

The Camera Parka Pro (Fish eye Lens) has an extra layer of thermal fabric around the camera body. It helps keep the cold out and the heat in (when using chemical heat warmers for instance).

Working as intended - Tuesday, January 29, 2019

Once ordered it was about one week and this wonderfull product was in my mailbox at finland. Been using this a lot and it has been savior on many weather when taking aurora pictures close to water. If weather has been extra tricky, couple chemical heaters inside the parka and no need to worry having the lens to get foggy. Can highly recommend this product if you take pictures on challenging spots or weather.

Top product! - Monday, January 28, 2019

Camera parka worked flawlessly during my aurora chasing in arctic circle. Great product wont let you down no matter the weather conditions!

Thanks for the killer shots! - Saturday, January 14, 2017

Thought I was only going to snap a few photos last night at around -30C. Got carried away and after maybe 25 min, frost started to form on my lens...Oops... so I put the camera parka on and the frost disappeared allowing me to stay out longer... I packed up cause I was getting to cold... You guys should make human parkas too for the Yukon...

To download the PDF version, click here Set your camera on a tripod, and leave the lens cap on.

The Camera Parka is fitted from the back opening (the flap) and over the lens first. Open the Velcro strap and the flap at the back of the cover. The camera strap (if there is one), can be folded on the lens and nested in the front sleeve, or pulled trough one of the side sleeves. Slide the lens through the opening, and bring the cover over the sides of your camera, one side at a time.

Fit the cover around the tripod head or plate.

Secure the cover with the Velcro strap and adjust around your LCD screen.

Magnets in the flap are to secure the flap. The contact points for these magnets are indicated by the silver dots on the image below. When flipped up, the flap will stay open thanks to the earth magnets.

The magnets are also used to keep the flap closed when access to the LCD screen is not needed.

Tighten the cover around the lens (note: if Manual focus is used, focus your camera first).

In sub-zero temperatures, and when access to camera settings are not needed, close the side sleeves with the pull strings. The 2 side sleeves can be tighten together using the snap hook cord lock when it is windy for instance. Some good examples are when shooting a timelapse or when waiting.

Install the remote release cable through a side sleeve or before fitting the Camera Parka on.

Does the Camera Parka protect from rain?
The Camera Parka is made using a water repellent fabric and offers the best protection in drizzle, fog or mist. It can offer some protection in light rain, however seams are not sealed and opening the flap exposes the back of cameras.

Can I use chemical heat warmers with the Camera Parka?
We recommend the Camera Parka Pro when using chemical heat warmers. It contains a layer of thermal fabric to keep heat inside and cold outside. Our clients mostly use chemical heat warmers for timelapse photography, in extreme cold condition and when condensation due to dew point is an issue.

How do I pack my camera when I am done?
We leave the cover on, close it tight and pack it in the camera bag. Don’t forget to remove memory cards and batteries first. We do not place the camera with the cover in a plastic bag. Once we have brought the camera bag inside, we leave it for a few hours to slowly warm up.

Why is hand washing recommended on the label?
There are earth magnets in the flap of the Camera Parka. They will stick to your washer drum and your Camera Parka can be torn apart. The magnets can also break when tumbled.

Can I use the Camera Parka and carry my camera around my neck?
No. The Camera Parka is designed for use with a tripod. There are no openings for camera straps. This choice was made to minimize the number of openings and therefore exposure of the camera to outside elements as much as possible.

Why is the Remote Shutter Release cover so hard to put on?
It is meant to be a snug fit. The trick is to use a safety pin, and some patience. Here is a link to step-by-step instructions: http://atfrostedlens.com/remote-shutter-cover/

Are magnets used in the cover safe for my camera and memory cards?
Absolutely. Earth magnets (neodymium magnets) are safe to use and won’t damage cameras, SD or CF memory cards, laptops, smartphones or tablets. In fact, most electronic devices contain stronger magnets than the ones used in the flap, for instance hard-drives contain a magnet to spin the head. So why the concerns? Because older technologies based on magnetic fields were susceptible to magnets (floppy disks, VHS…).

Have you used the Camera Parka in extreme cold conditions?
Yes, we have used the Camera Parka Classic when photographing northern lights in Yellowknife at - 45°C (- 49°F) with a light wind in winter 2015-2016. We (human photographers) didn’t last outside too long… We set up the intervalometers on our cameras for timelapses, and sat in the car for 2 hours watching the northern lights and waiting for the camera batteries to die before going home.

We stand by the quality of our products. If you find that they don’t fit your need, they can be returned for a full refund. See our policy for full details.

What our Customers are saying

I haven’t heard the sickening noise of my frozen shutter on very cold nights since I use the parka! Not having to worry about my camera makes photographing auroras much more enjoyable.
