# [SmallRig Releases Weather-Sealed Hot Shoe Covers for Sony Alpha Cameras](https://www.redsharknews.com/smallrig-sony-weather-sealed-hot-shoe-covers)

While Sony does have weather-sealed hot shoe covers for its newest cameras, it doesn't actually sell them separately. SmallRig has stepped into a small but potentially important gap.

Sometimes it really is the little things...

As reported by [Sony Alpha Rumors](https://www.sonyalpharumors.com/cool-smallrig-announced-these-new-sony-hotshot-covers/), Sony produces weather-resistant hotshoe covers for its Multi Interface Shoe, but only intermittently. Sometimes they're in the box with a new camera, sometimes they're not. And Sony does not produce them or sell them as a separate line item.

So, step forward SmallRig. Following a user request and a couple of months of work, it now has its own $9.99 alternative that you can buy from its[ own store ](https://www.smallrig.com/2pcs-hot-shoe-cover-for-sony-black-grey.html)and also now rolling out across Amazon.

The weather-sealed cover shields the camera contacts from dust, moisture, and scratches, and features a secure and snug double-layer fit designed specifically for the Multi Interface Shoe. They're made from soft TPE and silicone, making them both durable and flexible enough for easy, tool-free installation and removal.

Designed for use without a camera cage, they're compatible with the Sony A7 V, A7 IV, A7R V, A7R IV, A1, A1 II, A9 III, and A7S III. 

## Pricing and Availability 

Available as a 2-pack in a choice of black or grey, as we said they're $9.99 and are starting to roll out across Amazon as well as being available from the [SmallRig store](https://www.smallrig.com/2pcs-hot-shoe-cover-for-sony-black-grey.html). If we write about anything that is cheaper to buy than this this year, and still be useful, we'll be surprised...
