SMALLRIGL-Shape Handle for Panasonic LUMIX S9 with Ergonomic Silicone Grip, Built-in Quick-Release Plate for Arca for Quickly Switch on Tripods/Handheld Shooting - 4517ClimatePartner certified

Perfect for adding a better grip on the S9.

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.

A little extra grip is nice. The bottom protection and integrated Arca Swiss plate are bonus.

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.

As most have already said, this is a must-have for the S9. It really should have come with the camera to begin with.

I use S9 with and without this grip. The camera needs this addition which makes an easy control and stability.The grip fits exactly the camera body and I had free access to camera. It is only 50g.Highly recommend.

I really didn't want to add a hand grip to my Lumix S9 and tried to avoid it, but to avoid accidentally dropping it I figured I'd give this one a try and I'm glad I did. It's pretty minimalistic and barely adds any size or weight to the compact S9's body. Smallrig did a great job and it looks like an OEM had grip and not something made by a 3rd party. Very happy with it!

This SmallRig grip for the S9 is great if you want to add just a touch of grip to go with a smaller lens like the 26mm pancake. It does not pair well with larger lenses compared to a different larger grip from Sirui. I tend to use the Sirui grip more than this one. I will switch to this one when I want the smallest profile with the pancake lens. It has good build quality and matches the camera well.
