Since a year I am using the handgrip for the q3. And maybe that is just me but I would like to have some improvements for such a premium product. So : I have to plan very specific with this handgrip. it lacks a arca Swiss mount ( easy could hav Ben molded into tha grip and it looks like it has but it’s a bit thicker) So if you are planing on shooting with a tripod , then you have to screw a plate onto the grip . what happens if the card is full? so there is no extra door or space or hole for the as card slot. and this would be the second thing I wish they would have thought of. then after some hours the battery dies. ok you can use a cable to charge but this is slow or you use the wireless function which is not magnetic so you cannot do this while shooting— then this is the second time you need to take of the arcar Swiss plate and the grip to reach the battery. for the q2 I had a simple grip with two holes and this was perfect ! It also had a arca Swiss dovetail. remove the camera from the tripod and you are good to go. I would love if the design team of this grip performs like 500 „on“ „off“ maneuvers just to feel what it means. imagine you are in a cold place, Canada - winter - your gloves on - stars 🤩 but the battery dies or the as card is full because you got overexcited…. I am definitely thinking of skipping the wireless charging function and going for a cheap grip because to me this grip brings pain into my workflow. yes 🙌 I am exaggerating, but this grip does not deliver form me. 1. arca Swiss 2. sd card slot accessible 3. battery accessible 4. no extra function button. yes this is my last point. For me a grip gives me the extra option of shooting portrait. And I would love to have fn buttons there or maybe a second thumb wheel. Yes it’s wining at a high level, I know. cheers Peter
