SMALLRIG L-Shape Handle for Panasonic S9, Quick-Release Plate for Arca | Ergonomic silicone grip; quickly switch between tripod and handheld shooting

Economical and the base works as a baseplate for my tripod. And a perfect mounting point for a wrist strap! First off, the grip does the job. Doesn't feel like I'm holding the bricked side of a 70s film camera anymore, because it gives a gripped surface that's not too thick, but thick enough to do the job without taking away what the S9 is designed for. The bottom plate functions like a cage, in the way that it mounts to tripods as an arca base plate, has a magnetic slot for the coin tool to tighten and loosen from the camera, and has a strap mounting point. So in addition to a simple grip, I gained functionality, too. It also doesn't add to the camera height much. Sits flush and doesn't wobble, and most importantly it is aligned nicely. You can't go wrong with this. Sometimes when I purchase gear like this, I still have a wandering eye for other options. Now, I scroll right past the other listings. If you're looking for a grip with functionality, ergonomics, and a balance of size for the S9, then this the pick imo.

The grip is an essential addition to the Lumix S9. Solid, well made, and useful. I believe it's already saved me from dropping the camera, once. I use it as-is for carrying the camera. I also bought the Smallrig wrist strap because I don't like neck straps. The wrist strap and grip let me carry the camera safely. For tripod work, I have a pro Miller tripod with a manfrotto plate, so I bought the with the SmallRig ARCA-to-Manfrotto adapter which allows me to quickly mount the camera on my Miller tripod. The combination of the three quality SmallRig products is great. I recommend them.

If you have the Lumix S9, then I strongly recommend this handle that makes it easier to hold the S9 . It is much lighter than other L-shaped handles.

My first time putting it on, I felt the hole where the battery door opens and I thought it was kind of funny. Because I was holding it with the small 18-40mm kit lens, I didn't really think it needed it for filming myself. But that's one small use case of what this camera can do and over the last two months I've been using it for my professional videography business and buying MUCH bigger lenses. Even with the kit lens, it's WILDLY stable, Lumix IBIS is the best in the business. And having a little grip to steer it with is MUCH better when you're not aiming the camera at yourself. I've used the little tool that comes with it many times for other tripods and such, very helpful addition. But when I purchased the Sigma 28-45mm F1.8 I knew I NEEDED the grip and was glad I had it. That lens is a giant chunk of a professional tool. And not having a grip to hold the camera at my side would be just outright foolish. Now I wouldn't go back, and if you plan on using this for more than vlogging with the tiny lens that is included. I'd consider it a MUST HAVE.

It seems like a necessary item for the S9! I got the smallrig cage as well but keep this on 99% of the time. I've tried others but this is the smallest and lightest so it really follows the s9 ethos. P.s. It doesn't work with the smallrig camera clip without the quick release clip.

Adds great additional grip and fits the camera beautifully. It feels like this should always have been on the camera.

It works but comes loose often

This is a great grip extension to have on my Lumix S9. While some may think it’s small, I think it’s just big enough for my hands to grip, while not taking away from the look of the camera.

Fits the S9 like a glove, can’t really tell if it isn’t part of the camera body. For the price, it’s one of better made ones.

Perfecto complemento para la S9 de lumix, encaja a la perfección y no se mueve, dando seguridad en el agarre, a día de hoy indispensable para llevar la camara con la correa de muñeca

Magnifique la finition est au top et la prise en main de l appareil avec l accesoire est incomparable

Feels like it is part of the camera.

Le grip tient bien et rajoute l'accroche qu'il manque à cet appareil. La trappe pour changer batterie et sd est évidemment pratique puisque le grip ne quitte jamais la caméra. En termes de poids je ne rejoins pas forcément les autres avis je ressens à peine la différence et surtout je pense que j'aurais dû mal à me sentir en confiance avec quelque chose de plus léger. Une petite pièce métallique est fournie pour viser et dévisser la fixation, avec un emplacement aimanté pour la ranger, c'est pratique. Avec le coupon pour 38€ c'est un bon accessoire.
