reynoldsyoung Posted November 7, 2023 Share #1 Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I ordered this JJC grip and am VERY pleasantly surprised with the build quality and fit....just perfect. It is light as a feather yet hardy enough to definitely belong on the Q3. The cut away they engineered by the SD card door makes it very easy to extract and replace the card as opposed to the RRS version for the Q2...really nicely done. Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted November 7, 2023 Posted November 7, 2023 Hi reynoldsyoung, Take a look here JJC Arca Swiss Grip for Q3. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
David Wien Posted November 7, 2023 Share #2 Posted November 7, 2023 Thanks for the photos, which confirm for me that this is the best engineered grip for the Q3 — at a good price, to boot! David 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched a few review on YouTube showing Q3 lens is heavier, so the camera will tilt and rest on the lens. ‘Thus does this JJ grip’s base will prevent this? Thanks.

Aram Langhans Posted November 8, 2023 Share #6 Posted November 8, 2023 Nice looking accessory. If it only had the ability to go vertical like the RRS L bracket. RRS is the only game in town with that that I know of, so will wait for them to come out with their Q3 version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reynoldsyoung Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share #7 Posted November 8, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) I was going to wait on the RRS one as well. But, with its inability to go vertical, it also doesn't block access to the HDMI and USB-C outputs. Going vertical for me will mean tilting the tripod.

They do on my Nikons over the years that I have used their L brackets. D7000, D600, D750 all retained access to the ports. In the interim I have just attached a flat Arca Swiss plate to the camera, but I have to remove it to get the card out unless I use a cable connection.

luetz Posted November 20, 2023 Share #11 Posted November 20, 2023 I have the JJC grip arriving at end of the week. The feedback has been very positive. RRS had promised a short turnaround on making one available for the Q3, but "snooze" you lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Q2 RRS L Plate does not fit the Q3, as it has the vertical mount. Yeah, RRS says its coming, but I wonder.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colonel Posted November 21, 2023 Share #14 Posted November 21, 2023 Personally I wouldnt use a grip on the Q3, but JJC never puts a foot wrong IMHO. I have bought loads of their accessories over the years and they are perfect fitting and engineered well 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just received my JJC grip and thrilled with the way it fits and feels. I had an RRS "L" plate on my Q2 which I felt was overly bulky and not in current production. Thanks to @reynoldsyoung ......for bringing it to my attention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Wien Posted November 30, 2023 Share #16 Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) Does anyone use a rear thumb support in conjunction with the JJC Q3 grip? If so, does it really help? Thanks! David Edited November 30, 2023 by David Wien Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Leica Rear thump support has that protruding part that feels just right, for me. (not JJC here, but it's the same for me as I have tried that gip too) Welcome, dear visitor!

I imagine with the thumb support, my thumb will be flexed outwards. without the thumb grip, my thumb and 4 fingers feels more ergonomically in a gripping position.

I would have followed suit, but am worried that they might attract too much attention in busy public places. So I opted for black. How do you guard against this problem?
