Cover for precious gold contacts of BMPCC6K PRO Grip

PostTue Jun 08, 2021 11:53 am

I have today collected my Viewfinder (seems very good) and the BM Camera Battery Grip. There seems to be one glaring error on the grip and that is if I decide not to use it every time I use the camera, there is no cover to protect the gold pins on the grip itself.

The camera contacts are protected by a cover when that is in place, although I found that a pig to remove easily, until I used a very thin screwdriver to gently prise the cover upwards and out.

It may be of course that my grip has been delivered with no cover, but as there was also no paperwork with it I cannot know. Does anyone with the grip have a cover for the grips gold pins?

Ok so I will have to be very careful where I store it in my bag as now the camera with it on doesn't fit in the bags I have...... new bag I suppose.... another one.
