LensCoat TravelCoat camera accessory for Nikon 500mm VR FL with Hood Realtree Max4

Tailored protection for Nikon 500mm VR FL

The LensCoat TravelCoat is a custom-fit neoprene cover made for the Nikon 500mm VR FL lens with its hood attached. It serves photographers who need their long telephoto safeguarded from knocks, dust and moisture while travelling or working in the field. The Realtree Max4 camouflage pattern helps the gear blend into outdoor environments. Quick Velcro closure lets you deploy or remove the cover in seconds.

Thermal and environmental performance

Three-millimetre closed-cell neoprene insulates the barrel against rapid temperature changes that can cause internal condensation. The material repels light rain, snow and blowing dust without adding bulk. Because the cover slips over the hood, all focus and VR switches remain accessible while the lens stays shielded from the elements during extended shoots.

Integration into a kit

The TravelCoat compresses flat when not in use, freeing space in a packed bag or allowing it to sit between other items in a hard case. Its snug fit means the covered lens can be stacked alongside a second body or shorter optic without the hood catching on dividers. No extra straps or pouches are required; the cover itself becomes the protective layer wherever the 500mm goes.
