Fotodiox Pro, All Metal Black Camera Hand Grip for Sony DSC-RX1R II Cyber-Shot Digital Camera with Battery Access

I purchased this to use on my Olympus OM-D E-10 iii. This is not a camera I use very often, but when I do use it, I miss having adequate surface area to hold on to. This made a massive improvement to the camera. First off, the construction is solid. Genuine aluminum metal, feels solid and sturdy and has a decent weight to it, you can tell it is of decent quality. It's also well thought out. The battery door is cut out and allows access without having to remove the grip. This makes memory card and battery access simple unlike many other grips. Additionally, there is a tripod mount on the grip. Of course the grip itself attaches via the camera's tripod mount, they have included a mount point on the grip. The front grip area is well designed and follows the lines of the camera. I can let it hang from my fingertips with ease, not to mention the wood-look gives the setup a very nice look. I would totally recommend this grip.

Fits perfectly. Not too big and not too small. My hands are small but this makes holding my OM-D E-M10 more comfortable.

I am always surprised by the tiny size of gear manufactured for m43s cameras. I don't know why, I know full well just how tiny the E-M10 is; it's just that catalogue photos always make things seem bigger somehow. The photos give them more "presence".The Fotodiox pro grip for the E-M10 is no different. When I opened the box, I was surprised at just how small it is. It fits my camera like a glove. The claim that the user has easy access to the battery and media card port is true. But the A/V - HDMI port on the right side is also available with the grip attached. I'm sure it adds an ounce or two to the total weight of the camera body, but it is not even noticeable to me.The base plate portion of the grip assembly is designed so that the articulated view screen can move without restriction, and the base plate sits flat when attached to the camera. No "wobblies" here.The attachment screw uses the tripod mount socket that is placed right behind the lens, so another tripod mount is provided offset to the left. This won't cause any significant problems for most people; but if you like to do a lot of stitching to make panoramas, it is easier to get photos to match up if the tripod pivot point is directly behind the lens. So for lovers of the panorama photos might want to remove the grip when doing them.But the big question is, does it make the camera easier to hold? And the answer is yes, particularly when I have attached my favorite Legacy lens, the Olympus/Zuiko 14-54 Mk I originally designed for the 4/3s DSLR cameras. Those tele-centric lenses are a tad bit bigger and heavier than native m43s lenses and it makes using those lenses much easier to use. I'm not certain that the smaller m43s kit lens will benefit all that much from a grip like this. It is small enough and light enough that camera movement from a too heavy lens making the assembly out of balance is not much of an issue.I kind of wish the actual grip part was a tad bit more . . . bulbous, it would be an even more comfortable grip. But the size of the camera body itself might work against this, and would certainly be a bit uglier to boot. (gotta be pretty, if you want to sell a lot of them! LOL!) I think a bigger, fatter grip would either cause the grip to be so close to the lens that there wouldn't much room for your fingers between the lens and grip, or, the grip would be expanded around the right side, perhaps blocking access to the A/V - HDMI ports. On the whole though, I find the current design an acceptable compromise between comfort and usability.I can't compare it to the Olympus brand grip, I've never used it. But I think I like the Fotodiox well enough that I have no curiosity about the Oly grip. As I write this, the Fotodiox is cheaper too. It's hard to argue about a product that is well designed and cheaper.

This little guy is by far and away one of the best grips for the Oly EM5mkII. I always found that without any form of grip the EM5mkII just didn't fit my hand well, my fingers just felt a bit cramped. So I bought a few grips. First I bought the Olympus Grip that couples with the battery grip (I didn't buy the extra battery housing, just the grip that fits between the body and additional battery housing) and that worked well. Its a fantastic guy, and great if you're slapping some of the bigger lenses on like the 12-40 2.8 or 40-150 2.8. But it was a bit overkill for general walk around use, especially with some of the smaller prime lenses. Next I got a wooden grip here on amazon by some guy who custom makes them, can't remember its name. While it was a beautiful grip, it never felt the most comfortable either.So I finally bought this guy. I was skeptical at first because of its low price, but I'm glad to say that it is top. Its made completely out of metal, it feels solid, and you have access to the battery compartment to swap it out! Its great! The grip comes out JUST far enough to give you some solid purchase without being bulky like the Olympus one. Its really in the goldilocks zone. Its even large enough to be comfortable with the 12-40 2.8! Ever since I bought this grip its stayed on my camera.However it does have one flaw, not a major one, but one worth noting and the reason why it isn't getting a full 5 stars. I attaches to the camera via the tripod mount (don't worry it has a tripod mount as well so a tripod shoe or sling strap will still work) and is flush with the body except for one small bar that sticks out in the front left to hold steady to the camera. Sadly, one small bar in the front isn't enough to keep this guy 100% locked on the camera. I found that sometimes if I held it just right I would feel the grip flex a little bit away from the camera. Never enough to worry me, but it feels uncomfortable because you suddenly feel like you're holding onto two separate things rather than one solid body. The manufacturer could easily fix this by adding another one or two bracing bars at the front and rear of the right side of the body. Then there would be no flexing what so ever. But really this is just a nit pick, this is a great grip and if you find that the EM5mkII is just a bit too small for your hands, this is the perfect addition.I also want to add that I was NOT given this product, I bought this myself, I just really genuinely like it. This isn't one of those fake "I received this for free in response for a fair review". I paid full price for it, and its worth the $30ish that it cost.

This is great for making the O-M10 more comfortable to hold, nice that you don't have to remove it to change battery or card. Only minus point is that it moves the tripod to one end.

Olympus OM-D-e-M10 ii , This Grip is just Perfect the quality is excellent and fits perfectly ,also enhances the grip and gives access to battery and card, recommend 100%

Excellent value for money, transformed my little em10 mk 2 into the perfect camera.

Fits perfectly, and makes the camera easier to use.

Great grip, personally I prefer it to the Olympus ecg-3 it feels lighter and you don’t have to remove it to access the battery/card. Oh and it’s cheaper and came quickly via Amazon global from the US.
