Composing using my Iphone - Stealth mode

One interesting way I came across using the Q was contecting via W-Lan and using the iphone to compose my shots. I find this very useful when I don't feel comfortable pointing a camera directly at someone, this way I could hold the camera in one hand and the Iphone in other. It apears that I am just checking my phone allowing me to get shots I normally wouldn't , Yes I a am chicken and i'm no Bruce Gilden

I do this all the time using Android phone with Fuji X-E2 and X-T1.

Very convinient

Thanks for the tip, that's pretty awesome actually. Now I just need to battle with my conscience

When I saw the little suitcase for the Q, with the camera inside, the idea came straight to my mind that I can put the case on a table, open the flap, remove the lens cap and use my phone to shoot off the Q.

But it seems that the case cannot be stand in its upwards position, it seems the be round at the bottom if I interpret the images of the case well.

Has anybody seen it already?

Ahhh the possibilities..... We can all blame Q for corrupting our conscience.

If it's the "Day Bag" you mean, not ir won't stand on its own.  I wasn't specifically looking for this but I did see one at the Leica Store and it looked like it had a rounded bottom if I remember right.

Maybe there is a market for a tripod for the bag !!

The bigger issue is that the case won't hold the camera with the hood attached. So you are forced to carry the lame lens ring with you if you want the case. And have to deal with removing and reattaching every time you pull the camera from the case.

Not the brightest minds at work on this...

I checked it at the Leica store, with the hood on, the flap closes but it won’t close completely..there is always a gap between the flap and the body..
