At first I wanted to buy the handle of Fuji that I may have a better grip, central tripod thread and free access to the battery compartment, then I saw the Gariz half pocket and thought: That isses.
When the shipment arrived then the enthusiasm was gone quickly. The advertised floor made of solid, brushed aluminum proved to be a vile plastic with an approximately 0.3 to 0.4 mm thick aluminum foil. If you look at the image you see on the recess of the battery compartment that is the floor made of black plastic. Actually, even presumptuous to praise something as solid aluminum.
The tripod mount is indeed displaced, but is located now 1 cm left of the lens center. Why? Probably because it would not otherwise endure the plastic base. The original Fuji handle yes goes well, also has a solid base so ....
For a moment the handle feels very good, slightly better than the naked camera, after a short time but expresses the hard edge of the floor violently in the palm of your hand.
As the star designer Gary must then yet again take private lessons.
