Looks good, usable level, but could be better.

I bought two of these, one for my Nikon D750 and one for my D610 as I lost a Nikon hot shoe cover and the D750 was not included. I figured why not kill two birds with one stone by protecting the hot shoe and putting a small plane on top to work with a landscape tripod? ADVANTAGES: It fits snugly in the hot shoe of both cameras. The camera is mounted on a tripod. NEGATIVE ADVANTAGES. Since the whole part is made of rubber, it is a bit difficult to insert the hot shoe cover into the hot shoe. It doesn't look like it's going to be easy to take off in a hurry like Nikon's plastic shoe cover is. Actually I just tried to remove it and it looks like this. s will take a little effort to push it out. You can consider this a positive if you never plan on deleting it. You will never accidentally lose this item as long as it is attached to the camera. On the outer edge of the hot shoe, the fit doesn't look perfect. It definitely covers the whole range, but it just doesn't seem like a perfect match. Difficult to explain. Check out the attached photo for reference. Since the hot shoe cover is rubber, it's a bit more difficult to slide my cameras in and out of the case now, especially when it's a snug fit. The rubber sticks to the side pockets when plugging in and out. GENERAL - If you need a bubble level on the top of the camera and don't plan on removing and removing the hot shoe cover frequently, it will do the job as advertised. If you're picky about how things fit your camera and can't live with a small piece of rubber hot shoe cover sticking out of your camera, this product isn't for you. It's definitely not for you if you take the hot shoe cover off and on a lot, or if it really annoys you when the camera doesn't get in and out of your bag easily. In my opinion this plastic cover would soften the negatives. I don't know what the advantages of rubber are in this case. Maybe someone else finds it positive. I do not know. Will I recommend it? mmm mmm It serves its purpose but this product could be better in my opinion.
