Product Information
Full details
The Optech Soft Pouch D-Pro is an essential accessory for DSLR photographers seeking a lightweight, versatile shield against dust, moisture, and impact damage. Designed for universal compatibility with most camera brands, its standout feature is the unique retaining strap system that keeps the cover attached to your camera during active shooting sessions; however, it is important to note that this pouch offers soft-shell protection and is not designed to withstand heavy crushing or extreme weather submersion.

FAQs
Is this case waterproof?
No, it is moisture-resistant, meaning it will protect your gear from light dust and brief light rain, but it should not be submerged or used in heavy downpours.
Will it fit my mirrorless camera?
While designed for DSLRs, it will fit many mirrorless cameras, though it may be slightly larger than necessary depending on the model.
Can I use this with a battery grip attached?
The pouch is designed for standard body profiles. A large vertical battery grip may make the fit too tight or prevent the snaps from closing.
Does it protect the lens glass?
Yes, the pouch is designed to cover the entire front lens element, providing protection against scratches and dust.
How do I attach the retaining strap?
The strap loop should be threaded through your camera's standard strap lug or your neck strap connector.
Troubleshooting
The snaps are difficult to close.
Ensure that your camera strap is not caught in the seam, and verify that the lens hood is fully reversed on the lens.
The pouch feels loose around the camera.
The pouch is designed as a universal fit. If you are using a very small lens, ensure the retaining strap is cinched appropriately to keep the camera positioned toward the bottom of the pouch.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight and low-profile for easy transport.
- Convenient strap system prevents the cover from being misplaced.
- Provides excellent scratch and dust protection.
- Accommodates most DSLR bodies and lens configurations.
Cons
- Provides limited impact protection compared to hard-shell cases.
- Not waterproof; only offers resistance to light moisture and dust.
- Requires manual snapping of the base for a secure closure.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use, attach the retaining strap to your camera's neck strap lug. Slide the camera body and lens into the pouch and secure the bottom non-marring snaps.
Compatibility: This pouch fits most standard DSLR camera bodies. The internal dimensions are 152mm x 165mm x 152mm. We recommend measuring your specific camera and lens combo to ensure it fits within these parameters.
Care: To clean the pouch, wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or high-heat drying, as this may degrade the flexible fabric and snaps over time. Allow it to air dry fully if it becomes damp during use.
