Great video. You could also consider adding the Leica finger loop to the handgrip. That will totally lock it into your hand, almost impossible to accidentally drop, or someone to snatch it from your hand.
Thanks Jason - Yes, an excellent video.. I purchased a Q3 earlier in the year, so i was very interested in your choice of accessories.. I downloaded the Leica App, this gives a secondary back up for the images, and also the geo location of where you shot them... It does increase the battery load, so that something to consider, but very useful on days out to record where the photos were taken... Best regards from south west England..
Thank you John and Greetings from Vegas ! .. Yes the Leica App is fantastic.. That was a concirn of mine about the camera not having GPS in body.. but that quickly resolved itself with the Leica App. Thanks for watching.
Enjoyed that Jason - very useful - thanks. You've got a camera and you take photos with it; therefore you're a photographer. You're not Ansel Adams or Annie Leibovitz, but you've got time Sir. All the best and it wasn't until 21.10 when I realised what you were going to do with the Leatherman. 😃
Thank you, Andrew, for watching and commenting... People seem interested in this camera, so I will post another one with photos and some learning curve challenges. I could only imagine the thoughts that people may have had about the leatherman. 🤣
@@jasonlynch9979 I look forward to it. I’ve got an official Leica handgrip on the way, which for reasons I can’t understand is cheaper than their thumb grip (although i’ve had vacations cheaper than that thumb grip, so who knows). I find the Smallrig a bit chunky on the Q3 and not a fantastic fit on the underside with a small but noticeable gap. Anyway, it’s a personal choice; so best wishes to you. 👍
Imo the normal strap you showed there from peak design can scratch the camera. I used to use it more but when you just out your camera in your next car seat for example if they are put next to each other these huge plastic buckles will scratch the sides. So I use different straps for my leica cameras
Hi. I just used painter's tape and a sharp exacto knife to tape off the areas I did not want to paint, mainly the rubber grips and anything else rubber. I linked the exact paint I used in the description of this video, and you can get it on Amazon or at a hardware store. Give it a light sanding and also wipe it down with rubbing alcohol before shooting, and just like anything you paint, use light coats until you get to where you want it. It turned out great. I did chip off the paint on a trip (at the bottom of the grip), but that was super easy to fix... light sanding and re-shoot, and it turns out just as good as new.
@@Rewsky21 There were some beautiful leather bags at the Leica Store … maybe one day if this UA-cam thing works :) PD makes some really functional gear but this camera feels more like art.
Go take some 'pictures'... Owning a Q3 and just talking nonsense...... Probably not what anybody expected when typing Leica Q3 in the 'search bar'..... 😃
Hi Arno.. Apperently you have a lot to say, as you are also making negative comments on my other Leica video. The great thing about UA-cam is you dont have to watch my content. The titles of my videos are super clear. My goal is to help people from a novace perspective. If there is something specifically you would like to see or know about please let me know and maybe I iwll do a video on that. Or if you have a question specifically this would be great dialog. Respectfully however, if your intent is to troll my account then this is not the right channel for you to watch. Have a great day.
@@jasonlynch9979 I am not out to troll your account. I just point out that your vid is totally BS.... Why do a vid like this? For novices? As if accessories are more important than actually share your thought on what this camera can do?
Arno. First off if you are not trolling then I appologize. But your way of providing constructive feedback also falls within the catagory of 100% unadultrated pure BS. :) First off this video is titled clearly that I would be reviewing accessories. So to expect something different is odd. However, to your point I will be doing another video about the camera itself and my experience learning with it to include image quality. I am not a UA-camr and I am not a photographer. The camera as a great tool with an idiot using it.. so I am learning from my mistakes. The content I make is about cycling with a specific type of ebike. I did an unboxing video as a spur of the moment of the Leica Q3 because I thought the experience was different and people seemed to take an interest to it.. This video is performing similarly so there are people interested in the topic.. I do youtube as a hobby so I would gladly make another Q3 video going into some of the cool features and quality.. If there is something of specific interest I would be glad to include it.
Thanks a lot for all the videos enjoy
Thank you John
"I'm not a photographer.." So got a Leica. Legend,
I do that with a lot of things 🤣 forces me to go out and justify the expense

@@Bingpot_Cowabunga Perfect 👌
Just got my Q3 yesterday so this was a perfect video for me. Great overview. Thanks Ian (UK)
Congratulations and thank you for watching ... I am glad this helped. Enjoy your new camera.

I am not familiar with that…I will have to look into that…thank you
Thank you so much for your sharing this is a great video 👍🍻🍾
@@RenFang Thank you so much for watching and commenting. .
Great stuff! Thank you for sharing. Just picked up the Q a few days ago. This was helpful!
Congratulations... Glad this was helpful.. thanks for watching.
Really Right Stuff (RRS) is an amazing L-grip with arca-swiss and QD port. Really well built and matches the Leica form factor and design.
@@paulboskerphotography Thank you … I will have to research that one.

I have not experienced that yet but thank you for the warning
дякую, цікаве відео
Thank you.
Great video!!! Question, I have the same SmallRig Grip but can you elaborate on your painting steps? What durable paint did you use? Do you regret it?
Hi. I just used painter's tape and a sharp exacto knife to tape off the areas I did not want to paint, mainly the rubber grips and anything else rubber.

@@ssaliba63 anytime
dude, u are a UA-camr !
@@Sonofagreatdad LOL… Thanks?… I am still in the learning phase of how to do all this.. Thank you for watching.
Peak design bags and straps don’t exactly suit the Leica ethos do they ?
