> Does the official Leica one actually justify the price? Quick reply. Are you planning to use an external flash or trigger in Berlin? I ask because I once had a cheap grip jam in my hot shoe... total nightmare. I'd suggest the Haoge THB-Q3B Metal Thumb Grip for Leica Q3 since it keeps dials clear, just be careful with the set screw. For straps, the Corda Handwoven Rope Camera Strap 100cm Black is way better than leather for long walks and wont dig in.

Ive tried many setups over the years and honestly, sticking to name brands is the only way to keep your gear safe. I dont trust cheap generic stuff.

• Match Technical Thumbs Up EP-SQ3 Black fits perfectly and wont block any dials.
• Peak Design Slide Lite Camera Strap SLY-BK-3 is the most reliable choice for walking around Berlin. The Match Technical grip is definitely worth the peace of mind.

Official is safest but pricey. I'd trust the IDS Works Q3 Thumb Grip Aluminum and Domke 1-Inch Web Camera Strap with Swivel Black. Just make sure to check L-Camera-Forum for compatibility warnings first.

To add to the point above: safety is basically key so you wont drop it. These work well:

• LIM'S Thumb Grip for Leica Q3 Black stops slips
• ONA The Lima Camera Strap Waxed Canvas has reinforced ends
