petereprice Posted August 13, 2023 Share #1 Posted August 13, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi all - anyone know where I could find the black Q3 Thumb Support? It seems there’s plenty available in Brass and Silver but the Black version seems nowhere to be found! I'm located in the states. Anyone know where it might be in stock here? Welcome, dear visitor!

1945 Mouton Posted August 13, 2023 Share #3 Posted August 13, 2023 No one seems to be have it in stock. I have scoured the earth! Found one in the Leica store in Singapore, but it doesn't ship to the states. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of silver and brass thumb supports available, but not a black one to be found. I wound up buying a silver one because I am so used to back-button focus. Still waiting for a black one though.

Just tried to order it and received a message that they will contact me within 7 business days with an overseas shipping quote! I'm pretty sure by the time they contact me the thumb support will be out of stock! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say that given the price Leica extracts for its "options" (reminds me of outrageous Porsche pricing), it does stick in my craw to have to wait long lead times and/or search high and low for the stuff! But it is part of the Leica game for better or worse… Edited August 14, 2023 by LarsOtium 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. G Posted August 15, 2023 Share #10 Posted August 15, 2023 I've been looking for a black one, too. I just ordered this one.

My Lim’s thumb grip arrived today. Wasn’t sure I’d like the brass buttons but they look surprisingly good. No complaints about it as it works and fits perfectly. Now I just wish RRS would also make their L bracket/grip for the Q3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobers Posted August 26, 2023 Share #18 Posted August 26, 2023 I know the OP is in the USA but in case of those in the UK, I just received mine in black from Red Dot Cameras today. I have to say I’m really impressed. It fits beautifully and feels really good. It definitely enhances the ergonomics of the camera. I also have a JJC grip for the Q2 on my Q3. The grip fits the shape of the Q3 perfectly, and feels great, but the SD card can’t be removed without removing the grip which is a pain. If you’re using USB for file transfer that’s probably OK, but I’ve found that for some reason Lightroom doesn’t combine (treat as a single image) RAM+JPG images when imported via USB but it does when imported by SD card, so I prefer SD card. I have an IDS grip for the Q3 coming shortly. Overall, the grip and thumb grip make the Q3 a really satisfying thing to hold and use. Pricey accessories but worth it IMHO.

petereprice Posted August 29, 2023 Author Share #19 Posted August 29, 2023 I happen to be in the UK for work and was able to purchase a Q3 Thumb Support in black at Red Dot Camera in London, and it seems like they have plenty in stock for those in the London area. Great store by the way, tons of great second hand stock of all things Leica! My Q3 Package is finally complete! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reynoldsyoung Posted August 29, 2023 Share #20 Posted August 29, 2023 Keep an eye on the Online Store US...I just picked up a black one there yesterday. They sort of arrive out of nowhere and then they are gone quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
