The price is very high in view of the material value, there is also something more favorable third-party products, but which are then partially directly from metal and thus the colder outside might be uncomfortable, I prefer the original with leather trim.
The improved external (direct way to access the battery and memory compartment also with mounted handle) were absolutely necessary in my view, whether a the a current surcharge of 40 euros, compared to its predecessor, value must each decide me it was.
Scope of supply:
- Packing box
- Small Issue
- Allen key
- Handle
The installation is very easy, tighten the screw with the Allen in tripod mount, finished. The handle nestles on the housing and includes this easy slipping is excluded. The tripod mounting hole on the handle is exactly on the optical axis, in addition to the handle directly Arca Swiss compatible and you can at the same matching head save the plate.
The feel to the touch is just great, just with big hands the whole camera grip and can hold very relaxed. The processing is error-free.
I would buy the handle at any time! Even considering the price
At a glance:
Benefits:
- Better feel to the touch, feel, especially with larger hands. Even over a longer period a relaxed hold the camera
- Tripod socket on the optical axis
- Arca Swiss Mount
- In contrast to the third-party model trimmed with leather.
- Unlike its predecessor, direct access to the battery and memory card compartment.
Disadvantages:
- Price! The price is out of proportion to the material value, not in terms of research, development and marketing costs.
Because of the price I subtract a star, otherwise an absolute buy recommendation!
