RRS L grip

I find the Q2 grip a little shallow for my fingers especially because I usually carry it in my hand with a wrist strap attached. I stumbled across the RRS L Grip and wondered if anyone knows if the grip is “deeper” than the Leica grip? Thanks.

I have the RRS L grip on my Q2 and I love it, yes it's a bit "deeper" than the Leica version... plus there's the added bonus of the Arca Swiss dovetail mounting,

both horizontal & vertical...something I use quite a bit.....

 

cheers

Oh....and one more thing about the RRS grip.... it has a QD socket in the bottom of it, so works a treat with my "Luma-Labs" QD Loop 3.5 strap....my Nikon D850 also has a RRS grip on it so the strap gets used on both of my cameras. Quick and easy to use, the strap comes off very easily when I want to put my Q2 on a mini travel tripod (something I do on my travels)

 

cheers

Very early to ask about this I guess. Has anyone tried that RRS Q2 L Grip on the Q3 as yet?
I don't need wireless charging when I get my Q3 but I do use their L Grips for studio on SL2 and previously on other Leica systems. Great for portrait orientation on tripod especially

Yes, just tried to use the RRS Q2 grip on a Q3 body
The bad news:
The orginal RRS Q2 grip does NOT fit due to the flip screen that is expanding the body on the rear left side a little.
Also the port cover on the left side (for USD and HDMI) can't be opened.
The good news:
Using a Dremel tool, a file, sanding paper and some time it can be made to fit (if you don't use the USB or HDMI).
You have to make room for the flip screen by removing some of the aluminium on the left backpost and down on the bottom plate.
For fully opening the memorycard port the RRS mountin scew must be lowered a little.
As last make the shiny parts black again and you can use the RRS grip as before with the Q2

Thanks very much for a clear , helpful and definitive response.
Given the apparent popularity of the Q3 perhaps RRS will produce a new design at some point.
