Best grip for GX85 with SmallRig cage

I use the GX85 with and without the SmallRig 1828 cage and this is the only grip I've found that can be used in both scenarios and is pleasing to the eye is. Others require connection via the 1/4"-20 mount on the bottom of the camera and cannot be used when the camera is in the cage. A big plus. The contour of the grip is well thought out and definitely more ergonomic when holding it Put the camera to your eye and use the electronic viewfinder, keep your index finger on the shutter button, or hold the camera down while looking at the tilting screen and your thumb on the shutter button.Both grip positions are comfortable.I've had I always use this hand strap as a tether because I have a lumix 8-18mm and it's a bit heavy, with this grip I can do without the tether, but I don't risk it anyway, the grip area goes towards the lens and is in the way of the cage need to take a little more time to ensure the camera is perfectly level before tightening it enough to lower the rating Overall I like my GX 85 better to hold with this grip! 5+ stars!
