Removing the external microphone holder

Does anyone know if there are any issues in removing external Micorphone holder from the XH-A1. I don't like the way it sticks out of the camera and, since I use wired external mikes I don't need it for anything. I just wonder if it is covering or holding something else and I would regret removing it. Also, are the two screws I can see all that holds it on?

Thanks.
 
Not a problem at all. I did it, and I know some others did. It's just those two screws. Where the screws were, there will be off-colored white spots, which kind of throws the sleakness off. I used some black tape to cover up those parts after removing.

And, it does sort of cover up that headphone jack. I never use that, either, so I taped over that just so dust doesn't get in there.
 
I used it once and I'll never use it again.

I put a good shotgun mic on there once.
WOW, the noise/vibration it picked up was amazing in a really bad way.
So after I heard that I took it off.
Not to mention how much it stuck out.
I'd highly recommend buying a shockmount if you are using a shotgun mic.
