Review on 📷 Panasonic LUMIX GX9 Digital Camera Grip, Black - Authentic DMW-HGR2 by Harley Franchetti

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Essential for GX85 Good fit for accessories

When I found out that this item also fits my GX85 I tried to get it but it took a long time to order. To me, that's exactly what the GX85 needs to be comfortable to hold the camera in my hand. I've always felt like my fingers are in an awkward position holding it without this grip, and after a while they'll frantically follow my kids with a camera. Sure, it won't suddenly make your GX85/GX9 feel like a big DSLR, but it's a huge improvement. The reason I took off one star out of five is because of two things: 1. The price is a little high for what you get. 2. I wish they had a better solution for keeping the grip on and still being able to change the battery. Changing the battery is now quite a hassle as you have to remove the handle first. In the end, the compromise is worth it for me, I just need to charge my camera more often so I don't risk using it when the battery is low.
