Leica M10 Hand Grip

[0.45 lb] This hand grip helps me hold the Leica M10 tight and is easier to carry the camera when not shooting. I definitely recommend it.

[1/4"-20 Male] I first realized how necessary a hand grip was when I added it to my Leica Q. So, it was natural that I get one for my M10, and I am extremely happy that I did. It provides the perfect grip for comfortable shooting.

[0.21 lb] Shooting with a Leica M10-R, or any M10, is a much better experience if you have added a Thumbs-Up Grip. It is very tiring shooting for any length of time without the grip. (Frankly, I'm not at all sure why Leica just doesn't add the extended thumb grip in the first place.) I have the Thumbs-Up for both Leicas and would highly recommend them.

[Manual Focus] I got it for my Leica M10-R and I love it.

[Shoe-Mounted] I've used one of these on the M240, M262 and now the M10-P and I think it's the single best thing you can buy for your camera. It makes the body much easier to hold/keep still. I've found I can hand hold at 1/30 consistently with the Thumbs Up on the camera, sometimes even 1/15. Leica got hip to it a couple years ago and started to make their own version for the M10, I had that one too. Theirs is more square, not as ergonomically sound, and $100 more expensive. The only thing the Leica version does better is it's shaped so you can fully read the "LEICA CAMERA MADE IN GERMANY", that the Match partially covers, on the back of the top plate. That's not a major concern for me. If trying to decide between the two the Match is much better in the hand. I've read some complaints about the paint wearing off. That's true, but it just reveals the brass beneath, which is even better as far as I'm concerned. Like breaking in a great pair of jeans. The black doesn't exactly match the black chrome of the M10-P, but neither do black Leica lenses and again, who cares?

[Shoe-Mounted] Like (most) all Leica products, it fits and works great. Have this on my M10 Monochrome, and it gives a superior grip, especially when Carrying the camera one handed. Expensive, but it's a Leica, and you only buy it once.

[5 x 4 x 2.4"] The hand grip fit my Olympus M10 Mark3 like a glove. This is the only one I have found that really fits. My camera does handle much better with this grip on. Jim, Charlotte, NC.

[0.45 lb] Longtime M9 shooter loving both the updated M10 and this grip. Much more comfortable in the hand. Slightly slower removal, but not as much of a hassle as it seemed at first.

[1/4"-20 Male] My silver & black E-M10 IV is certainly a nifty and handsome camera, but its svelte size and marginal grip can create some handling issues for those of us with rather large mitts. This Fotodiox hand grip does a nice job of ameliorating that situation. The metal frame neatly matches the contour of the camera, and the small wooden grip fits snugly against the camera's grip. While the smoothness of the rosewood is comfortable and looks good, it does provide less purchase than, say, a leatherette grip. If you walk around with camera in hand, I would strongly recommend a wrist strap for increased security. That said, the camera does feel more secure when holding it at my side, and I'm able to keep my right hand more relaxed because of it. If you shoot primarily with dainty lenses such as the 25/1.8 and 42.5/1.7, maybe this grip spoils the slim package a bit. I mostly use my E-M10 IV with the 7-14/4 and Sigma 56/1.4 - neither of which is large for what they are, but there are probably a dozen smaller m4/3 lenses available. My one significant quibble with the grip is I feel the edges should be machined a bit rounder. No issues for me, but I could see some folks being bothered by the almost-sharp edges. Overall, this hand grip is a great addition to my E-M10 IV and slightly increases the pleasure of my photographic experience. Highly recommended.

[Black] This makes my M10 enjoyable to use and reduces hand fatigue.
