Great product, well worth it and not much money. If you want your photos to look more professional and not so amateurish, then get your camera level on both axis so that your verticals are straight. Something is just wrong with walls or buildings that are falling into the center or leaning way over like the leaning tower of Pisa.
Pros:
-Durable, rubber construction. The FotoTech cover stretches and bends slightly, but feels sturdy and I'm not worried about it tearing while putting it on, or taking it off the camera.
-Fit. The FotoTech cover slides right into the grooves in the hotshoe mount.
-Level. The level is actually a really nice addition. Even if it doesn't add a tremendous amount of utility, it looks kind of cool.
Cons:
-While the FotoTech cover slides right into the intended grooves, it does not sit perfectly flush with the body of the camera, a protrudes ever so slightly over the back edge of the camera. Ideally, it would "click" into place to ensure it is seated correctly. At a minimum, it should not protrude over the back edge of the camera when fully inserted.
Verdict:
I would encourage anyone with a brand new Sony mirrorless camera to snag a FotoTech cover to protect their investment. I would love to see it redesigned to prevent the small amount of overhang, but that's a pretty trivial negative compared the overall utility and reasonable price.
Honestly though I'm not sure why this needs to have a List Price of 9.99 as of current, it's just a piece of rubber (no plastic mount) with a dollar-store spirit level. Even the "sale" price I got this at seems quite steep. However the most popular hotshoe level at time of writing is known for serious quality concerns so I thought this was a nice compromise.
Fit- 4/5 this is a "universal" cover that doesn't sit perfectly in my a6000, but it does do the job and it stays in place.
Function- 4/5 I'm not going to rely on it for to-the-degree accuracy, but it works well enough.
Build quality- 3/5 I'd prefer a plastic mount so it snaps into place, the rubber construction seems like an odd choice.
Value- 2/5 I could see a similar product being found in a dollar store. To be fair their reliability seems pretty good so I can understand being a little more expensive, but the List Price is crazy.
So it works, and unless you have something better in mind, I'd say the protection factor is worth the admission price. But if there were better options, I would have gone with something else.
The Material is softer/rubberized so it can snugging fit into the hot shoe, but the core of the leveler is hard plastic.

If you want something cheap and good quality to cover the hot shoe, and give you an added level as a bonus, this is great.
5/5 would recommend.
