I had one on my D Lux 7 and never felt the need for a thumb grip. They are backordered everywhere but hopefully will show up soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and yes, brass all over the place).  Soft release button is Match Technical BOOP-OL Welcome, dear visitor!

Instead I got the HAOGE thumb grip which allows better access to the thumb wheel. My only complaint is that it is not as secure in the hot shoe as the JJC -- so I bought a spare.
