I just got this tiny Sony RX100 for my trip to Tokyo next Tuesday and Im honestly panicking because its so small and slippery. I feel like Im gonna drop it every time I try to take a picture and I dont want to break it since I spent all my savings on it. I saw some people talking about grips or extensions or something but I have no idea what to look for or if they even fit the older models since mine is used. Are they like permanent? My budget is like 30 bucks max because of the trip. Is there a specific one that actually stays on? I really need something fast...
Which RX100 model do you have exactly? The sizing changed a bit on the newer ones so I wanna be sure! If you need to stay under $30, check these out:
Just saw this thread and wanted to jump in. Regarding what #1 said about these cameras being like bars of soap... it is honestly a nightmare. I tried some of those generic adhesive rubber pads last year and they just peeled off in the heat, total waste of money. Since you are on a tight budget and need it fast, look at the JJC HG-RX100 Metal Hand Grip Extension. It gives your pinky a place to rest and has a cutout so you can still swap the battery without taking the whole thing off. Unfortunately, a lot of the cheaper options have issues:
Honestly, these cameras are like bars of soap. I have used a few different setups over the years and unfortunately, most of the cheap extensions just dont feel right or they end up blocking the battery door.
