This one certainly seems more comfortable than the one from the Leica Store. In fact, it is not necessary to remove it when you need to remove the SD card or the battery, which happens quite frequently. Maybe it weighs even less? The original is made of aluminum and weighs 122 g

I must admit to be looking forward very much to this becoming available. For those of us who prefer using a grip together with an Arca-Swiss type tripod mounting on the horizontal and vertical aspects there doesn't seem much else of comparable utility. I have been using the standard Leica Q3 grip together with a Three Legged Thing Ellie screwed into the tripod bush on the grip; it achieves the same purpose but with a theoretical potential instability (not admittedly experienced by me) because of the additional Ellie/grip joint, and the combination, although functional, isn't entirely an aesthetic delight! Having previously used an RRS dedicated grip/L bracket on my Fuji XT2 I was impressed with the quality and fit. If that is reproduced on the new Q3 plate I think I shall probably fall victim to its charms!

 

For those who are not concerned about a grip, but would still prefer both a horizontal and vertical Arca-Swiss facility I can thoroughly recommend the Ellie.

Has anyone purchased this grip and give their first hand impressions?
