Best accessories kit for Leica Q2 travel setup?

Hey! For your situation, I’d go “access + comfort” over a fancy kit. Option A (minimal): 2x Leica BP-SCL4 Lithium-Ion Battery + a small USB-C charger like Nitecore ULSL USB-C Dual-Slot Camera Battery Charger—unfortunately I’ve had issues with bulky OEM chargers in travel bags. Option B (handling): Match Technical Thumb Grip for Leica Q2 is great for all-day walking. Option C (carry): a slim sling + a soft pouch; hard cases weren’t as good as expected… turned the Q2 into a brick.

@User above mentioned "Building on what was said about "Hey! For your situation,..." - " totally agree: batteries/charging is where you don’t cheap out. Why it matters is a bad cell/charger can ruin a trip (or worse). Practical budget move: buy ONE extra genuine Leica battery, and skip the bulky brick by pairing a known-safe USB charger like Nitecore ULSL USB-C Dual-Slot Camera Battery Charger. Spend the saved cash on a simple padded insert instead of a “leather case” brick.

Building on what was said about "Hey! For your situation, I’d go “access + comfort” over...", biggest caution: don’t rely on random third‑party BP-SCL4 batteries or unknown USB chargers—some run hot, misreport charge, and can swell (I’ve seen it happen on a city trip… not fun). Stick to 1–2 OEM batteries + a reputable USB-C charger. Also avoid over-bulky “leather half cases”; they slow access and trap grit. For carry-on protection, a thin insert like Tenba BYOB 7 Camera Insert keeps it safe without turning into a brick.

ngl, I spent way too much on leather gear before realizing that for actual travel, lightweight is king. If you're comparing straps, honestly the Peak Design Leash Camera Strap is way more practical than a thick neck strap. It uses those quick-release anchors so you can swap it for a Peak Design Cuff Camera Wrist Strap in seconds when you're in street mode. Instead of a dedicated camera bag or insert that eats up space, I just use a Domke Protective Wrap 11x11 around the Q2. It protects it from scratches in my regular backpack without adding any bulk. Also, since you're doing low-light and street, grab a B+W 49mm Master Clear Filter with MRC Nano. It's better than Hoya imo because the brass mount doesn't bind as easily on the Leica threads. Keeps the lens safe so you don't even need the lens cap while you're walking around... saves a lot of fumbling.

Came here to say the same thing lol. Great minds think alike I guess.
