Grip for the Hexar RF?

[magicianhisoka]

Heya guys, hoping to make my hexar a low light beast by strapping on the 35 1.2 to it 24/7. Unfortunately, that is a bit of a strain on the wrist as well. Hoping to find any info about grips that can be used on the Hexar RF other than DIY solutions. So if you can point me in the right direction, that would be awesome 😀

I've looked into this as well without much success. I am following the thread though, just in case.

I haven't seen a grip for one but I've seen a Thumbs-up device for the Hexar RF and also Luigi makes cases for the RF with an optional built-in grip.

I tried a thumbs up on my Hexar RF, and it flattened out the spring in the hot shoe. I nearly lost the damned spring 3 or 4 times. If you're going to buy one, I'd get the CSEP, so that you have some insurance in case the spring falls out.

Someone mentioned a RRS grip look-alike can be used on the hexar. Trying to source for more info and will post what I find

I use a Zhou case with built in bumps for extra grip.

Well, I'm not going to add any grip info for a Hexar - for two reasons:
1. I dont know of one other than what was already said.
2. I dont really think it needs one - I often used my 35/1.2 and 50/1.2 on it and never felt that I need a grip - I think it's form and covering are good as it is for me to hold. But of course it's a personal thing.

Thanks for the info rlouzan!

Using the same thing FrankS but I feel that it could be better.

Heya Krosya, used the 35mm 1.2 on my M2 with a grip and just started thinking, "Hey, this feels pretty good!". So if I could find a grip for the hexar, it would be a bonus 🙂
