matlep Posted August 21, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 21, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) So, I finally lost my cover for the hot-shoe. Anyone has a tip for a replacement that does not cost a fortune, as the Leica replacement does? I tried to do a search, but i dont know if they will fit as good as the original one. Any recommendations? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucena Posted August 21, 2017 Share #2 Posted August 21, 2017 I would buy a thumbs up: it covers the hot-shoe and is very useful, changes things... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingo Posted August 21, 2017 Share #4 Posted August 21, 2017 I dont's see a rational need for a hotshoe cover. I'm sure Leica can send you a replacement when you contact the customer support. Or your dealer can tackle this for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted August 21, 2017 Share #5 Posted August 21, 2017 No need for it but ask your dealer if they have spares or buy one via eBay Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matlep Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share #6 Posted August 21, 2017 There are official Leica spares. But the cost like they where made out of unobtainium. So I was hoping someone might have any experience in an alternative model. The Thumbs.up is a viable option, but not for me. I have the grip. It is sufficient enough.

viramati Posted August 21, 2017 Share #11 Posted August 21, 2017 Thanks Virimati! Will check out! For £2 you can't really go wrong (less than the price of a good cup of coffee) it may not fit quite so flush as the leica one but after all it is just a standard hotshoe mount Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
