I hope B&H are going to sell it, shipping rates from RRS to Canada are outrageous.

At time I would be willing to purchase from RRS (as I have done for years) but shipping rates to Australia are outrages as well. I have purchased L brackets for my SL2S and X-T4 from China, equal quality and just a few dollars for shipping or at times free shipping.

I got home to NZ from a month in Switzerland/Iceland and my RRS bracket was at the door. Wish it arrived before I left, and shipping was crazy to NZ, but I use my M11 as a LE camera so L bracket is a must. Anything to do with Leica is expensive so I just bit the bullet. Fits great, not as snug as the Q2 one I have though.

I am a longtime RRS customer and have had their L brackets for just about every camera I have owned. But when I rented an M11 for a series of trips to see if I wanted to own one, the RRS bracket was not an option. Nor was there a LIM case with integrated dovetail like I have for my Q2. So, I ordered the Leica Grip & Base, figuring that if I didn’t like the M11, I could always return the grip so long as I took reasonable care of it. No worries. I loved the M11 and am (im)patiently waiting for mine. The Leica grip worked extremely well. Not having an L bracket takes a little bit of getting-used-to for vertical shots, but that’s okay. And I didn’t miss the added bulk of the ‘L’. The Leica grip and base are expensive, but . . . this was all voluntary on my part. 😉

This RRS L plate is better than their M10 version. Of course the M11 base is better than the M10 baseplate. In hand, the new L plate is more comfortable too. Access to the battery is easy, but the card is a reach.  I do not miss the modularity of the RRS M10.

"Better" is subjective, personally I like the modularity of the M10 version. I tried the grip but didn't like it, but the baseplate and L bracket stay on all the time. I'm sure there are some who like the grip and baseplate but don't want the L bracket and even those who just run with the baseplate alone. It's nice to have the option to customize it as you like it.  Cheers, jc

I just got the Really Right Stuff Leica M11 grip last week and I love it. Truly makes the camera easier to handhold, and a snap to mount on my tripods and monopod. Unlike their grip for my Leica M-P, the new grip has a little notch for a finger, making for a much more secure grip. I had to put rubber grip material on the M240 version, and I also will put some on the M11 one, but it isn't a near necessity as it was with the older grip.
