[Aluminum] I purchased this for use with a Canon EOS-M because the EOS-M is tiny, and holding it securely with one hand is not so easy while also trying to avoid touching buttons or the touch-sensitive screen.The thumb grip fit the bill perfectly for me. It is very secure -- almost too secure -- in the flash hotshoe, there was no wiggle, and it felt very secure to use.The only down side, for me, is that of course the thumb grip prevents the use of a hotshoe flash. For many small cameras this isn't an issue since the flash is built in, and the hotshoe is not necessary. However, given how tight the grip is, removing it every time I want to use a flash on the EOS-M (since it has no flash), would become a pain.While I do give this product 5 stars, as it does *exactly* what it is advertised to do, I chose to go with the Fotodiox grip for the EOS-M. I recommend that over the thumb grip if you have the EOS-M. Otherwise, don't hesitate to spend the $ to buy this.

[Aluminum] Perfect design of ergonomics!
Very nice balance

[Aluminum] I bought it for my fuji x100 and it fits well. Wish I would have bought one sooner

[Aluminum] This is a great accessory to have. It fits nice, easy remove when you need the hot shoe. It gives balance when using my 18-135mm. Good price!!

[0.06 lb] Transforms handling of Panasonic GX-7. Tight hotshoe fit initially but becomes easier to slide on-off with use.

[Shoe-Mounted] I did not realize that there was a difference in the size (height) of hot shoes. It slid into the X100 as if it was made for it. The hot shoe of my Leica M6 TTL was not tall enough to slide it in. The fit and finish of the grip is very very good. If you were to compare the size of this to a known brand for thumb grips, it would be equal to their long version on the X100.
