Description
A common problem with the popular Canon cameras of the A-series is a broken battery compartment cover, which often renders the camera unusable. Our replacement cover reliably solves this problem and ensures your camera is fully operational again.
Our version 2, available since July 2025, has been structurally improved and offers an optimized fit as well as significantly better stability than earlier versions. For installation, you only need a small Phillips screwdriver. Important: The elongated plastic part (snap hook) is integrated into our door, and the screw is not needed. Make sure that the metal rod holding the original door and the small spring inserted in the metal rod are still present on your camera.
Compatibility
Fits the following Canon models:
- Canon A-1
- Canon AE-1 Program
- Canon AE-1
- Canon AT-1

Ich dachte, der wäre mit im Lieferumfang... schade. Jetzt muss ich mir etwas basteln, damit der Deckel angebracht werden kann. Bei meiner Kamera ist der Metallstab mit der Feder nämlich nicht mehr vorhanden.
Hey,
es tut uns echt leid, dass du Probleme mit unserem Produkt hattest. Wir entschuldigen uns für die Unannehmlichkeiten. Normalerweise haben die Leute die Feder und den Stab. Falls er fehlt muss man wohl oder übel eine alte defekte Kamera kaufen und zerlegen.
Viele Grüße,
Vlad
