  • Stainless alloy construction shields the hot shoe from impacts and scratches
  • Precision fit for GR IV, GR IV Monochrome and GR IV HDF models

Ricoh GK-2 Metal Hot Shoe Cover

The Ricoh GK-2 is a precision-machined stainless-alloy cover that slides into the hot shoe of GR IV, GR IV Monochrome and GR IV HDF cameras. It seals the electrical contacts against dust and moisture while adding a dark-grey metal accent that matches the camera finish.

Owners of compatible GR IV models seeking physical

Photographers who never mount a flash or accessory will benefit from the barrier against debris and accidental knocks. Shooters who regularly use external flashes, microphones or GPS units must remove the cover each time, so they gain no advantage while the accessory is in use.

Tool-free press-fit installation

The cover pushes straight into the hot shoe until it seats flush; no screws or adapters are required. The tight tolerance that ensures a weather seal can make first removal stiff, so grasp the knurled edge rather than prying from the centre to avoid marring the camera body.

Questions about this item

My Ricoh GR IV has the standard ISO hot shoe — will the GK-2 cover fit it?

The GK-2 is engineered for the Ricoh GR IV, GR IV Monochrome and GR IV HDF, so it matches the hot shoe on those models exactly.

I still use an older Ricoh GR III — can I keep the GK-2 on when I switch cameras?

The cover is made only for the GR IV series; the GR III hot shoe has a different shape, so the GK-2 will not fit or protect it.

After I slide the GK-2 onto the hot shoe, how do I know it is seated properly?

The metal cover should sit flush with the top plate, the locking pin clicks into the shoe's centre hole, and the contacts underneath are fully shielded from dust and moisture.
