Goon525 Posted October 28, 2023 Share #1 Posted October 28, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Having seen reservations about the Lim thumb grip, and given that the black Leica one is virtually vapourware (and very pricy), I decided to give the JJC one a go. I recently bought their hand grip, and am perfectly happy with it. The thumb grip is a bit over £40 from Amazon, a fiver less if you buy it directly from China on eBay, and arrived this morning. It’s well made, and (so far at least) shows none of the wobbliness reported with the Lim. Instead of covering and replacing the two function buttons, the design cuts above them so you still use the original buttons. You might consider that fractionally less elegant as a solution, but it seems to work just fine. It’s a good firm grip, and completes for me how I want to use the Q3.

Derbyshire Man Posted October 28, 2023 Share #2 Posted October 28, 2023 I can't speak for this one but I started with the JJC on the Q2M (again short supply for the OEM!) and then upgraded to the ludicrously expensive Leica model. The latter is much better and my advice for the Q2 at least would be splash the cash if you have it and can find one to buy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisQ3 Posted October 28, 2023 Share #4 Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) I'm using the Leica thumb-grip and can't fault it…. Yes it's very expensive, however, it fits firmly into the hot shoe, the design is superb and the two function buttons are brilliantly tactile and responsive. Genuinely, it's been designed perfectly! It is so comfortable, looks good; for me it's an essential accessory..... But the Leica half case is a totally different story!!!

reynoldsyoung Posted October 28, 2023 Share #5 Posted October 28, 2023 Waiting on Really Right Stuff to perform their magic and produce the plate for the Q3....a great piece!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbyshire Man Posted October 29, 2023 Share #6 Posted October 29, 2023 Being able to ergonomically access the button and even more so how my thumb falls onto the thumbwheel for exposure compensation. It seems to arrive naturally rather than searching behind the JJC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
