What does the Sony FA-RG1 rain guard protect?
The FA-RG1 is designed to minimize water ingress at the connection between a flash mounted on the Multi Interface Shoe and the camera body. It helps protect both the flash and camera from water droplets that run down from the flash in wet conditions.
Does the FA-RG1 provide complete weather sealing for my camera and flash?
No. Sony specifies that the rain guard does not completely protect against water ingress, and it is not guaranteed to be 100% dust- and moisture-proof. It should be considered an additional barrier rather than full weather sealing.
Which cameras and flashes is the FA-RG1 rain guard designed for?
The FA-RG1 attaches to the Multi Interface Shoe of compatible Sony flashes, such as the HVL-F60RM, to protect the connection area between the flash and Sony cameras that use the same shoe.
Is the FA-RG1 effective when shooting in portrait orientation or with the camera tilted?
Its effectiveness is reduced in those positions. Sony warns that when the camera is held vertically or tilted, the rain guard may fail to prevent water ingress at the connection.
Can I still record audio when using the FA-RG1 for video?
Sony notes that with this accessory attached, some camera models may not record audio during video capture. Check the model-specific information on Sony's accessory support page to confirm behavior for your camera.
How much does the FA-RG1 add in size and weight to my setup?
The rain guard is very compact, measuring approximately 38.2 x 17.4 x 40.3 mm (1 9/16 x 11/16 x 1 5/8 inches) and weighing about 4.9 g (0.2 oz). It adds minimal bulk and mass to the flash-camera combination.
How is the FA-RG1 rain guard installed?
The FA-RG1 mounts onto the Multi Interface Shoe area of the flash, sitting between the flash and camera to form a physical barrier that helps stop water from entering through the shoe connection.
How much does the Sony FA-RG1 rain guard cost?
MSRP is listed as $24.99. Given that, these models can go on sale from time to time, and there are several other opportunities to save on price like through their group discounts for education, healthcare and military/veterans (ID.me & Unidays) along with their free loyalty program that gives up to 5% back in points.
