How to increase size of Nex 5n through modification

[eleskin]

I feel the NEX 5n may be little small for my hands (I have yet to buy one) and I see various brackets, etc to add on. I would like to see what can be added to the camera body to give it a little more size for greater hand holding ability, especially with lenses like the Noctilux, etc,,,. Anyone modify their camera or add a bracket?

A cheap flash bracket with slave flash has been my chosen route. A RRS P&S plate for tripod mounting is my alternative to the JTec L plate.

Ownuser battery grip a stroke of genius! Will it fit the 5N?

I really liked this video of the Ownuser grip. I especially like how the NEX handles in the vertical position. With the grip attached, a Noctilux or 35mm f1.2 Nokton should be much better to handle.

My question is will this grip mount on the 5n? I noticed on the Nex 5 there is a piece of plastic that goes back allowing the cable to slide through the battery cover on the bottom of the camera. Is it the same as the Nex5n?

If not, I would still buy the grip just for holding the camera and to store extra batteries.

Well I guess the battery grip should work.. But imho it looks a bit silly..

There is a possible* niche in the market for a hand grip compatible with arca style L-brackets such as those from RRS, ARCA-Swiss and JTec.

* Hmm. I, for one, would make the purchase

There are a bunch of these on ebay, every color and cheaper than this too.

Makes a big difference--the lower half---in size.
