L Bracket for Q2?

I shoot quite a bit with a tripod and have L brackets for all my 35 mm cameras.  I am coming into a Q2 in a month or so and was wondering what anyone else uses.  A search on BandH came up with this model from Manfroto: Manfrotto Q2 L Bracket

Thanks in advance for any  replies.

The title name is misleading.  It is not made specifically for the Leica Q or Q2.  It may work but I would avoid it.  Very awkward in actual use.  Try this one:  https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1464272-REG/leica_19540_handgrip_q2.html/mode/edu/mode/edu

i use  NOVOFLEX QPL VERTIVAL,  because

- my LEICA Store in Zurich recommended it (re compatibility with Gitzo fluid video head)

- rel. moderate price

and i am fully satisfied with it, and love its beautiful simple  design.

The Leica hand grip doesn't appear to have Arca-Swiss grooves for attachment to a quick release head, but maybe I am missing them. 

Another option is from Really Right Stuff:

Includes a hand grip. I don't own this one, but I have several other RRS L-plates and they are first rate.

True.  The Leica l grip does not accept arca swiss connections.  If that is crucial then the Manfrotto model will suffice

I use a tripod a fair bit and find the arca plates built in to the Lim’s half-case are good. Not an l-bracket though, but I just flip the ballhead vertically when I want that perspective
