Thumb Grip!

Last year I had a car crash which meant the DSLR took a back seat and only used for "special occasions", so I bought a Fuji X100, a great camera, small, light, great quality (camera & results), but not so easy to hold for long periods. 

Luckily, there are many "thumb grips" available. I got mine on Amazon - theres dozen of places offering them online (link down the bottom of this article), so this isn't going to a specific product review, but more an accessory recommendation!

Its a simple little piece that is placed on the hot-shoe and tightened in place with an allen key. It makes the camera much more holdable, like the name suggests, gripped with your thumb! It's unobtrusive, and easily removed if the hot-shoe is needed to be used.

What comes in the box!


Got a mirrorless etc. camera, get yourself a thumb grip!

Buy on Amazon.co.uk (£5.50)

    Nice, I've a Lumix 4/3s and this would be great for it :)

      It really does make a difference for the sake of €10!

    Would this be useful on a compact camera?

      Once it has a hot shoe it should be ok
