Really Right Stuff Leica Q3 L-Plate with Grip

The grip part is very smooth metal. It is slippery and has no 'grip' to it. It has a finger cut out, what seems to be for the ring finger, but it is not designed very well because it is not at an angle that would match your fingers when gripping the camera. It may work fine when holding it but as soon as you move your index finger to the shutter button your hand needs to twist a little, and in the opposite direction as the finger groove is angled. The attachment screw is not captive, so it falls out without resistance and would be easily lost if it came loose. The attachment tool is not stored on the bottom. Other manufacturers have figured out how to use magnets to store the tool on the bottom, or to not even require a tool to begin with. So if you don't have the tool and you need to tighten or remove it, forget it. The portrait part of the grip is utterly unnecessary. All modern tripod heads can be turned 90-degrees and since the camera is so small, it really serves no purpose. This makes the plate so incredibly bulky and ugly. The SD card door is blocked from opening fully. There are circular holes on the bottom and side with no apparent purpose. There are two deep holes drilled into the bottom through the grip. On mine, they were filled with brown cutting fluid and debris. Not the kind of thing I would expect to see from RRS but maybe their quality is declining. Why do they only show 3D renders of this product? Do they not have a camera to photograph it?That's all. I really dislike this. I'm not sure I would ever buy an RRS product in the future based on this product experience.
