microview Posted October 4, 2018 Share #1  Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Re-fitting the handgrip to my CL last night I notcied the small 'peg' protruding (more than in my Q grip) through the base liner, and thought this might leave a mark on the camera if main screw tightened. However, checking with a small piece of paper inserted at that end of the camera I see Leica cleverly places the peg in the cutout where the battery/SD card release lever sits!

jaapv Posted October 4, 2018 Share #2 Â Posted October 4, 2018 Yes - it is a rotation stop. Despite the grip being quite ergonomic, I find that this is about the only thought-through part. I mostly use the CL with the grip attached, it fits my hand better, but I stil find it a pain to have to remove it for each battery and card change, that it has no quick-release system and above all that it has no tripod socket - the last is really inexcusable. Maybe I should drill and thread a hole. I have been discussing it with Will van Manen, and he seems to see this as a realistic idea. I'll send the grip to him after my holiday, in November. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayewing Posted October 4, 2018 Share #3 Â Posted October 4, 2018 I find the Lim CLÂ case is a good solution to this problem. It incorporates metal hand grip, a dovetail plate for tripod use and access to the battery compartment solving several problems neatly and economically.

jaapv Posted October 4, 2018 Share #4 Â Posted October 4, 2018 I dislike cases. Can the grip be separated? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayewing Posted October 4, 2018 Share #5 Â Posted October 4, 2018 Unfortunately no. I tried removing the screws on the underside of the base plate but while they allow removal of the upright part of the hand grip and the dovetail plate the leather case appears to be firmly bonded to the base plate. Â LIM does make a thumb grip but I could not find a separate hand grip on an internet search. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted October 4, 2018 Share #6 Â Posted October 4, 2018 For a thumb grip I am quite pleased with the Thumbie. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayewing Posted October 4, 2018 Share #7 Â Posted October 4, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Me too. The LIM thumb grip seems to be attached to the hot shoe which means that it must be removed while using flash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonewall Brigade Posted October 5, 2018 Share #8 Â Posted October 5, 2018 I don't have the CL's grip but I do have the Q and its' grip, which totally fits the CL. 99% perfect fit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
microview Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share #9  Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) 94% I'd say    . But it does allow for tripod mounting with its much thicker base. Edited October 5, 2018 by microview Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
