Yes. Whatever fits the M9 fits the Monochrom.

Consider getting the grip as well. I did and like it very much.

The RRS L bracket is great, and I wouldn't use the camera on a tripod without it. I'm ambivalent about the grip, which doesn't fit my fingers especially well. Nevertheless for landscape photography I use L bracket plus grip plus Thumbs Up, to offset my clumsiness in setting up a tripod and juggling / changing lenses on rough terrain.

 

With all that plus MATE / WATE with a 67mm filter holder and Frankenfinder, it looks like a miniature technical camera. I expect someday another Leica user, passing me on the trail, will berate me for what I've done to it. But the results, especially if you stitch together several files, rival a MF digital back.

RRS equipment is the qualitative equivalent of Leica's equipment, IMHO. It is a bit clunkier, however, and you might find that the fit will be snug but not perfectly abutted to the bottom of the material covering on the MM body.

 

RRS carbon tripods are fantastic.
