MikeD70 Posted July 11, 2023 Share #1 Posted July 11, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I decided to jump in and try the "protective wrap" I came across awhile back. I've liked the green since they came out with the Q2 Reporter version, so I went with that, minus the lens wrap. Just got it back, I like it. Some probably won't, but what the heck, it's fun to be different. I know, it's not the correct thumb rest, and the grip is third party, (I have the leica charging grip on backorder, but this one has the arca plate cuts) LIFEGUARD Skins for Cameras and more USA Free Shipping (alphagvrd.com) Welcome, dear visitor!

The only thing I might do differently would be to replace the red Leica logo with one in black to match the lens and top plate controls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nariza7 Posted July 11, 2023 Share #3 Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) Yours looks much more normal than mine will. I got the stickerbomb decal to cheapen/obscure the look hopefully (havent delivered yet). I also have the same ids grip haha. A bit short at the front, but the exposed battery and SD card slots are too good. Used the leica q2 grip before and it was a hassle to keep removing, though it felt much better in hand Edited July 11, 2023 by nariza7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think black would look better. Good idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll definitely have the WOW factor going for you there. (full disclosure, I didn't install mine, I sent them my camera, 2 day turn around. my 75 yr old hands are not steady enough.) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingo Posted July 28, 2023 Share #11 Posted July 28, 2023 In any case, it will not make the camera prettier but I would like to protect it a little from scratches. Welcome, dear visitor!

nariza7 Posted July 28, 2023 Share #12 Posted July 28, 2023 How did you get the finger loop to connect to the ids grip? Did you drill the screw hole? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drilled a 6mm hole and used a M4 aluminium nut "Einklebemutter" (sorry, don't know translate this). I think these are the same nuts that are used in the Leica handle. https://www.engelmt.de/mtzubehoer/schrauben-und-co/einklebemuttern/alu-einklebemuttern-m4-kurz Welcome, dear visitor!

With the black body, the brass support sticks out like a sore thumb.... (sorry, can't resist). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
