Meet the Uni LensCap: Universal Lens Protection, Re-Engineered to Last
DIYPhotography.net, New York, NY - Photographers will soon have a smarter way to protect their gear. Launching August 6th, the Uni LensCap is a next-generation universal lens cover offering a snug, tear-resistant fit and shock-absorbing protection built right into its core.
Engineered to fit 99% of DSLR and mirrorless lenses, the Uni LensCap performs best on barrels measuring 60–90mm in diameter. At its center is a precision-molded flat top, surrounded by the new Impact Guard Ridge—a low-profile, ribbed structure that diffuses shock and shields the lens face from direct impact.
Combined with a reinforced retention ring, this design ensures a secure fit that won’t stretch or slip, regardless of how often it's used.
With a vivid blue finish, the Uni LensCap is easy to find even in dark or cluttered kits. Its stretchfit design hugs lenses, hoods, and filters alike, shielding them from water, dirt, and shock without ever cracking or slipping.
Key Features:
- Universal fit for 60–90mm lenses
- Flat-top design with shock-deflecting Impact Guard Ridge
- Reinforced retention ring for long-term grip and stretch-resistance
- Waterproof, dustproof, shockproof, and washable
- Bold blue color for visibility in dark environments
The Uni LensCap will be available beginning August 6th at https://www.diyphotography.net/shop/ and select retail partners.
